otakulys's manga / #marriage(14)

Propose

Lol, that's actually kind of cute, in a weird way. It's so short and abrupt, and I kind of wish there were more, but I like this simple happiness they have together. He just goes with whatever she tells him, and it just works for them. A nice little reprieve from all of the downer oneshots.

Ani No Hanashi

Sad and sweet little story. I gave it five stars, but I feel like it could have gone a little deeper. More with the mom, more with the family. I mean, I like how it turned out more or less, but it felt too short for what it was. These stories rarely really dive into the conflict of being gay in a homophobic world. But I appreciated the attempt.

Omega wa Pink no Yume wo Miru

Complete | Sakurai nanako | 2000 released

Wow, despite the creepy premise, this was honestly not as bad as I thought it was gonna be. I'm not satisfied at all with how they handled the fact that this was all due to his unsuccessful attempt to rape the guy's friend, but honestly, the fact that they acknowledged it as being wrong at all is a big step in yaoiland. I love that there was that friendship between the two omegas, and I wish more yaoi focused on friendship like that, especially omegaverse which seems very set on alienating the uke especially. Not a perfect story, maybe not even a good one, but I enjoyed it despite its flaws. I like how hard the alpha works to earn the omega's love, and even in the end, he doesn't insist they come together until the omega is ready, if he ever is. That's honestly pretty sweet for omegaverse.

Kashikomarimashita, Destiny

Complete | Sachimo | 2015 released

Eh. Wasn't really my thing. Too cheesy, and everything wrapped up so easily seconds after it was introduced, so it felt like all of the conflict was very artificial. It had potential, but it just didn't do it for me.
