otakulys's manga / #prison(8)

Ha! This really is quite slashy. I wish it were just straight up gay, but that's all right. The hints are there. This is actually kind of similar (but not really) to something I've been writing for a while now. One of the main themes, at least. Maybe I can get some inspiration from it. Either way, this looks really cool, and I hope it stays that way.

I love it so far, hate to wait for an update but it's worth it. I'm hoping there'll be a bit more action (both of the nonsexual and the sexual nature) in the upcoming chapters, but I'm intrigued either way. I appreciate how attractive so many of the characters are, too. This art is gorgeous, and the artist really knows how to portray different types of attractive features, so we can generally tell everyone apart pretty well. And I know that BB is a rapist and all that, but he is so damn hot. I mean, Yuuto, you're the uke in a violent yaoi manga. If you're gonna get assaulted, it may as well be by a good looking dude, right? Ha.

This mangaka has a clear fetish for people saving a person at the expense of their own life and well being, only to discover that that person is a monster and not worth being saved. I actually liked the twisted elements of the story, but it was too short for what it was, and that open ending where you don't know if he pulls the trigger or not is frustrating. That aside, this Christ dude really needs to die. It sucks that someone he loves has to be the one to perish instead. Yet another thing that wouldn't have happened if Christ's dad had just killed him in the first place. And no, it clearly wasn't because he was abusive or angry his son was gay. He isn't gay, he's a pedophile. His father walked in on him having sex with an elementary school kid. Who the hell processed that guy as an adult after all that? Surely there had to have been some questions. Though I've read real life murder cases with fatal levels of incompetence, so I guess it isn't so far fetched.

Holy crap, I started reading it because I thought it was funny that the art was all cutesy but it was listed as horror. I absolutely did not expect to be ugly-crying by the end. So sad! And touching. Twisted, for sure, but heart-wrenching. I'm glad I read it. Not what I thought it would be at all.

This is so gross, but oddly satisfying. I worry about what'll happen to the girls in the long run, but I live underdogs killing against the odds. This is a fun take on that. Of course, hopefully it'll end with that gross old man getting a slow, agonizing death. Not that the girls can undo this "program" or whatever it is, but hopefully there's a satisfying conclusion, nonetheless. I really thought this was going to be on the hentai side, but the comments made me actually look. Glad I did, because some of these girls are awesome characters.

I'm very intrigued so far, but it's only five chapters, so it's hard to make a solid judgment. I'm curious about the brother and the way he acted. If the MC brushes that off and doesn't try to see the notebook now, I'm gonna have to go in there and slap him. That reaction almost guarantees that your brother is also a serial killer, is a budding serial killer, is a serial killer fetishest, or is involved with the murder romantically, etc. Maybe you were bait from the start, like he's totally giving you up to this murderer in exchange for... who knows. Anyway, I hope it updates quickly. And that they get someone to proofread, because it's really throwing off the flow. I appreciate them doing this regardless. I dunno, maybe I ought to offer help instead of just complain. CHAP 6: Show us what's in the notebook, you asshole! Also, I love the friends moment. I want to see way more stories with important friends. Yaoi likes to center on the couple and the friends often kind of drift away into the background. Hopefully won't be the case here. Chapter 7: I mean, this has to be a red herring, right? But give me an explanation at this point that isn't pushing the boundaries of belief. Maybe he finds the crime scenes first, because he's tracking the real killer? I don't know, but it sounds pretty ridiculous. Either way, your brother is breaking laws here.

Pretty cute, even though they have a strange dynamic as far as sex goes. But yeah, it's pretty lighthearted, all things considered. It could be worse! 3.75 stars, maybe?
