otakulys's manga / #love triangle(50)

Bittersweet as usual. It irks me how much Miyamoto Kano loves to establish OTPs and then have years and years pass between them seeing each other. She does that ALL the time, and it drives me nuts. But whatever. I think it's obvious how they all end up, even if it's years down the line. Kinda stupid how some of it goes down, but I do love the complex relationships she builds. And I love when exes can stay friends. Off to start Rules now.

Hm. Fairy pretty art, but iffy translation. I appreciate the person trying at any rate. That aside, I hate some of the typical yaoi tropes happening here, but if the love triangle ends in him being with the guy who DIDN'T rape him, that'd be a nice surprise. Because it looks like he could potentially end up with the hotter guy (his rival) and not the guy who raped him, I gave it three stars, rather than two. It'll go back to two if this goes the rape to love route.

I really like this so far, even though it's like, just get on with it already! I get that it's one of those stories where the entire plot is about the chase, but it's so annoying when they won't just communicate with each other. Either way, good art, interesting story, hot guys. I'm sold.

UGH. Heartbreaking and beautiful. It shows the shortsighted, selfish way a person can look at love, even to the detriment of those around them. It's so painful because he realizes what he's done way after the fact, but now it's probably too late to fix. I mean, I'm gonna go ahead and continue this in my mind, where they end up having a threeway relationship, and everyone is happy. Yeah, there we go. Haha. Also, that first sex scene was brutally hot. Holy crap.

I won't know for sure how to feel until it's finished, but if it keeps going in the right direction, this could be a pretty fantastic manga. So many of these things require the girl to lose weight and be skinny and all that, but it's nice to see the guy loving her for who she is, regardless of what she looks like. He doesn't treat her as ugly and pitiable, and you don't see that often in manga. I just wish she'd stay like that. I feel really bad for the girl who stole her body, even though she's sort of mean and manipulative. She had a really awful life up to that point, after all.
