otakulys's manga / #reencounter(17)

Hmmm... Pushy seme, but it's cute enough. Waiting for the next chapters.

I don't know if there's more to the main story or if the remaining chapters are going to be oneshots or something, but I really like this as is. I actually kind of wish there was more with the boyfriend and what not. I liked that surprise, and how he was tied to this dangerous man, but then it never went anywhere. At least it was sweet that it brought out the characters' feelings for one another even more.

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.

The first story is sad and futile. The second story is interesting, but there's no forgiving rape, especially not so casually. No excuse for that shit. The last story is dorky and cute, kind of unfitting with the other two. It wasn't a bad read, even with its flaws. The translation is slightly off, but not so bad that you can't understand what's happening.

It's a little too rushed and clunky to be as sad as it could be, but it was okay. I like the artist, and the ending was better as it was, letting the reader fill in the rest. Three stars is fitting, I think.

I liked it up to the rushed ending. I felt like it could have done well with a bittersweet ending, but it was ultimately like "oh hey, I guess everything is fine now!"

Aw, very sweet so far. His cute little face when he's so proud of that C because he knows he worked his hardest. I just want to squeeze him to death. Honestly, I'm pretty over the "girl I was in love with was actually a boy" thing, but I like the characters enough to see past that. They're both complex and original, which counters out the cliche a bit. I'm looking forward to the following chapters.

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.

Wow, that was the twist I was hoping for, but I wasn't sure if I'd get it. I feel like the first shot of his face kind of makes you wonder, though, haha. Not sure if this is a oneshot or not, and it's screwed up either way, but it was a good read.

Holy crap. I was not expecting to love this as much as I did! I want to keep reading about these two! I don't know if the cliffhanger with the ex is due to another volume coming or tied into the spin off with the ex, but I don't want this to be the end of their story. So freaking sweet and perfect! I thought it was going to be typical shoujo-esque silliness with no substance. It was so much more. I also really, really liked the stuff with his ex. I wish there were more stories with ex-boyfriend issues where the guy doesn't end up back with the abusive piece of crap or whatever. Seriously, though, I hope someone translates the spin off soon. And I hope we get more work from this author! So far, love her stuff!
