otakulys's manga / #love(75)

Noooooooo I want more! I want to keep reading about this sort of thing. I feel like 99% of yaoi has no real plot beyond the romance. I would have loved to have seen this as a longer series. Lovely art, sweet character relations. I have a few questions about some of the confusing aspects, but I left the story feeling satisfied. Very sweet, really glad I read it. EDIT: Crap, now I realize why it was confusing. This is a spin off of another work. I forgot that I'd been meaning to read the other one first. Oh well, I suppose it didn't spoil too much.

Not perfect, but still really sweet, and one of the few non-rapey Omegaverse stories I've read, so I gave it five stars. I definitely need to read the next one, and I hope it keeps going from that point, too. It'd be nice to have a little series like this.

Very cute. It has its flaws, and this translation isn't quite as good as the other, but I appreciate the person taking the time, regardless. The art is so awesome, and I love that it's just a sweet, loving relationship without typical Omegaverse rape.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!! Loved it! So glad I finally got around to reading this one. I love Harada. So far, I'd only had a chance to read her short stuff, which is more heart-destroying than anything. This one definitely made me ugly-cry a few times, but it's all worth it in the end. Such a sweet couple. I love the little family they created with the three of them. I wish there were more adventures with them! I'm also worried, though, because if there's ever another continuance, it might result in the relationship getting all messed up. D: Anyway, loved it. Harada has quickly become one of my top favorite mangakas.

Very sad, some more than others. I think this anthology showed strengths and weaknesses among the mangaka involved. Short stories can be challenging, writing something satisfying that fills in the blanks and makes sense in such a limited amount of space. The first story broke my heart into a million pieces. I was ugly crying and my cat came and forced me to hold him, which made me cry harder, so there's that. I was super bummed to see that mangaka has yet to produce anything else. I hope that just means she's new and we'll see a lot more from her in the future. Several stories were a little brief and rushed, but the ones that hit you hit you hard. Definitely a sweet but very heartbreaking anthology. Obviously, haha. But it was a good kind of sad. It felt real and emotional. The stronger stories, at least.

I seriously spent years agonizing over the fact that the publisher went under before releasing the final, translated volume. I thought I'd never read the ending. Then I discovered it had been scanlated about two years ago, and I was so freaking happy. It took them a while to get to it, so I'd lost hope. Thank you so much to the scanlation team! This manga is so sad and screwed up, typical of the mangaka, but at least the ending isn't as depressing as it is in some of her other stuff. Still sad, but it could be worse. I just saw that she wrote a follow up to the series in 2007, though, and I wonder if anyone will ever pick that up. It's been a long time, though, and it seems like her work is less popular in general, so I have no idea if it'll ever be translated. I miss how active scanlations used to be. EDIT: Damn it, I was deliriously tired when I saw the continuation thing, and it isn't for this at all. It's for the other one, The Demon Ororon. I should have read more carefully. But that one should be translated, because that story had such an abrupt ending.

For some reason, I kept having this lingering sense of dread throughout. I don't know what it was, because this is clearly just a cutesy, romance comic. Maybe it was how many times the character thought, "I'm so happy." That seems to be a trigger for incoming heartbreak, haha. Anyway, it was cute, though there's no story as of chapter six. We'll see if anything ever comes up, but it seems like it's geared up to be a relationship, slice of life sort of yaoi. I prefer more plot, but this is cute and inoffensive, so hey.

Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!! I just noticed this hasn't been updated in a year. Please, someone get back to translating it. This is the first Omegaverse manga that I've truly enjoyed. It doesn't brush over horrible things like rape, and it sets up how hard and depressing this dystopian kind of world is. The love between the main two is so touching, and there's no expectation on the seme's part. The fated pair thing is a complication, but I hope that ultimately they're able to overcome it and stay together. This manga made me cry, and I just love how raw and sad it is, without being totally hopeless. I so rarely actually like the main pairing in omegaverse stuff, but this is perfect. So it really sucks that I'm stuck trying to decipher the partially uploaded, untranslated scans in the meantime. Not fair. ETA: Ugggghhhh, so sad! I'm totally crying. I want them to all be happy and stay with the ones they love! This is gonna kill me. It seems like they're all gonna break up. But I hope they can fight fate. Ugh, please update soon. I have to know what happens. Maybe we'll luck out and get another chunk of updates, chapter 9 and on. Edit: Noooooooo! How is chapter nine even more painful? I mean, obviously it will just get worse from here, but I don't think my heart can take this. I appreciate that someone is translating it at all, but the pause between chapters is killing me. I'm so scared that this isn't going to end the way that I'm hoping. I don't even know what to think. EDIT: Taiga, quit being a little bitch. EDIT: This manga hurts my heart in all the right ways. I've been sobbing this entire time. Totally thrilled that there's more, but man, that is definitely painful. Still, I have hope for them. Even if the memories never come back, hopefully he'll be able to start gaining new ones again eventually. EDIT: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHHH, MY HEART! DX I'm over here sobbing. This is so beautiful. I love this manga so fucking much. It hurts in all the right ways, and it ends on a beautiful and hopeful note. Absolute perfection. Thank you so much to the scanlator, man! I could have ended up never reading this amazing story.

Wow, this is an exceptional omegaverse story. Not perfect, but for what it is, it really stands out. When I see the rape tag, I always assume it'll be the seme raping the uke before they all in love, which I can't stand. Not the case here. In fact, I loved a lot of the characters, including the one who assaulted the uke. I mean, it's the biology of that world, and the character didn't want to do it, even as he was in the act. It was really sad, but I like the way everything worked out. I'd love to see a story just about Hayato and Yuu-chan. I think it's great that he's making his own destiny with the boy he loves. So yeah, I'd say this is a good option for people who like drama that isn't easily brushed away. There are some awful things that are forgiven a bit easily, but not nearly as easily as typical yaoiland stuff.

These guys are always cute. ^^
