Love Through Deception -An Omega Subdued by an Alpha-

Complete | Rauree | 2000 released

I actually liked the dark, sad nature of the story, but the ending was so abrupt. This guy's heart is broken, and all we get is "damn it." The end. Anyway, I wish it had been longer. Weird way to end it after all that. Otherwise the rating would have been hire, but this is like a blue balling situation. You give us all this delicious drama and emotion, then you just leave us hanging.

Mitsu to Adabana

Complete | Naoe sai | 2019 released

I'm intrigued. It could go either way. Poor baby uke. And it seems like this won't be a rape-to-love situation, which is great. But I could be wrong, so I guess we'll see... I hate rape-to-love, so hopefully not. I just figure the other guy is who he gets with. I'm definitely invested, and the art is lovely. I could have done without the child rape joke that the scanlators added not once, but twice. I don't know why they thought that was funny. But I'm glad someone is scanlating this, so hey.

Sutenaide My Hero

Complete | himoda q | 2017 released

WOW I hated this manga. I thought it would be interesting, but it was just creepy smut and rape. I couldn't enjoy any of the drama or love revelations, because it was all so forced and weird. Also, I feel like there was something going on with the omega that was never addressed. Like, is this guy a serial killer? It's not just me, right? He forced this to happen and was manipulating everything from the start. That sort of twist would actually be pretty great if it had been executed properly and not treated like it's funny that it happened. Great art, which is mostly the only reason I finished it, other than being thorough. I skimmed the sex scenes after that first one. So gross. Ugh, I need to get the bad taste of this out of my mouth. It's trying to be all cutesy with this psycho and this selfish asshole who was tricked into a relationship through emotional manipulation. I will never understand that fetish. It's weird, like this manga ticked almost all of my top five biggest hates in manga: rape to love, straight guy going gay (It's okay if it's you), oddly stupid/sexually oblivious ukes, and weird commentary during sex, like "you came from just your ass." (At least I didn't see him mentioning his "lewd body" at any point. *gag*)

Boys Bad Romance!

Ongoing | Hashimoto Mitsu | 2017 released

I hate rape-to-love/rape as comedy SO FUCKING MUCH, but I'm used to it by now, so I'm able to read crack comedy type things like this. If I can push that from my mind, they have a somewhat amusing dynamic. I liked when they got caught. I love when people walk in, and the position they were in was perfect. Also, I like her art. I wish this author didn't love making light of rape, but whatever. It's only up to chapter five right now, but it's not like it'll redeem itself in the remaining part. I'm sure they'll fall in love, and all of the rape and coercion will be just a funny part of their relationship. Hardy har har.

Sekai No Owari Ga Furu Yoru Ni...

Complete | Gokurakuin Sakurako | 1996 released

Weird, but not as bad as I thought it would be based on some of the earlier elements. Sometimes I love this mangaka's art, and sometimes it's kinda meh. This one shifts back and forth, but it's kind of on the meh side. The plot could have been better. The ending is kind of weird and ambiguous. But at least they tried to include some intrigue. If it had been polished, I would have liked it more, but I'll give it a 3.5 for effort.

Chou to Kumo no Su

Complete | Akabeko | 2000 released

I love this mangaka, though this wasn't my favorite by her. Still, it was dark, sad, interesting, and complicated, like a lot of her stuff. I haven't read the manga it's the prequel to yet, though, so I wonder if I should have read that first. Poor baby, either way. I even feel sorry for the uncle, because he lost his mind. He wasn't like that from the start. I do have to ask, though, why did people tag this as incest? Am I missing something, or were there just that many people confused by the fact that he calls him uncle? He was dating his mother. They aren't related in any way, biological or otherwise.

Devil's Thoroughbred

Complete | yamashita tomoko | 2012 released

Wtf, this is so gross. I know for a fact that I've read it before, but I couldn't recall the ending. Someone was gushing over how great and surprising it was, so I read it again. Not sure what they were seeing that I'm not, but it's pretty straight forward to me. Guy has a crush on another guy, violently rapes him and blackmails him, gets stabbed, then stockholm syndrome's his way into the guy's heart. But don't worry, it's funny because the guy hits him with a plant! This is such a disturbing way to treat something so awful. I would go down to one star, but I've read worse, and at least the uke doesn't get all squishy and starry-eyed. But seriously, gross. Also, what plot twist? I don't see any plot twist. The fact that he raped the guy because he liked him? That's like 90% of yaoi manga.

Kuyuru

Complete | Migino yagi | 2019 released

I haven't read all of the extras yet, but most of them. There are some things I would have changed in this story, but I liked it overall. I'm big on betrayal followed by a new, healing love, so this was great for that. I'll come back to this after I read everything else.

Bena

Ongoing | Kofude | 2018 released

Hmm... Kind of weird and rushed, but it has potential. I'll raise the stars based on how the next parts unfold. Seems like pretty sad circumstances, but I'm a little confused as to what happened at the end of the first chapter. Maybe chapter two will help.

Tonari Ni Sunderu Neko No Koto

Complete | psyche delico | 2015 released

...Kind of a weird one. I like this mangaka, but for whatever reason I kept seeing this one but never reading it. I kept thinking I already had, but... no. I probably would have remembered this. Anyway, not the worst thing I've read, but just odd and kinda creepy. Cousins who end up screwing, and a guy who doesn't want to admit his sexuality riding a little kid, like gross and wtf. The masochist thing wouldn't have been as weird if there hadn't been that rapey introduction. Also, it isn't "reverse rape." It's rape. Just because the rapist was the one being penetrated, it isn't any less gross.
