otakulys's manga / #rape(197)

Really screwed up, kinda weird, and then it just ends. Pretty depressing.

The first one... I don't know if it was just poorly translated or what, but it was really confusing. I get what happened, mostly, but as things were occurring, I was mostly lost. The second one was a lot better, even though it was equally fucked up. I enjoyed it in the sense that it was treated as something dark and sick. I feel like most stories like this don't truly delve into that, the whole sexual predator element. Though, of course, it's too much to ask to see a guy like that actually pay for what he did to a child. Oh well, fiction!

I probably would have given this less stars based on the first two chapters, but I really like the sexual interaction between the two semes. It's nice to see everyone getting it on with everyone. The endless rape that is never dealt with I could do without, but I feel like the manga got better as it went along. I liked the student and teacher one, even though it was short and abrupt, mostly because of the teacher's "yeah, why not" attitude, which made me laugh. The brother thing... It was sort of random, very short, so I don't really get the point of it being in there. But whatever. Decent manga. I would have given it two stars if it were just more of the first two chapters throughout, but three and a half stars for making things a bit more interesting.

It rubs me the wrong way that most people will probably excuse the rape scene since it's the uke raping the seme, but whatever. The fact that it's so easily forgiven isn't at all unusual for yaoi, even when the seme is especially violent, so this is no different. I really like spin-off books for stories I enjoyed to begin with, so despite that one thing, I had fun reading this. It's kind of annoying at times, mostly just how emo and self-pitying the main guy is, but I also feel for him as far as his fear for his happiness ending. It's a sweet story, regardless. I'm glad it had a happy ending, even if it was sort of implausible as it was. I wish more manga would promote the concept of bisexuality, rather than the "I'm straight, but I'm gay for you" trope.

I love this mangaka so much, and I love the stories, especially the rain one. I just wish the ending weren't so ambiguously sad.

Very fucked up, but I remember enjoying this a lot when I read it ages ago.

Pretty messed up, but I remember liking it when I read it ages ago.

Absolutely disgusting. Hey, it's okay when a guy rapes you, as long as he ends up being hot! That aside, the plot is rushed and ridiculous. Then I learned that she ripped off another mangaka's art directly. This chick does not have a lot going for her.

This is super screwed up, but I kind of love it. The characters are aware of how sick the guy is, and I like that it isn't a story about a pedophile banging kids, but rather, the story of one of his victims grown up after all that time. It isn't as simple as one time revenge. The story seems to actually have substance, and I'm excited to see where it goes.
