otakulys's manga / #rough sex(4)

It's not a dynamic I'd typically be about, but I'd actually read more of this if it existed. Oddly alluring.

Shorter and more abrupt than I would have liked. It was sad and sweet, but mostly it was jut rushed. Again, no clue about Gintama, but I love Harada, so I'm okay with going in blind.

One thing I really appreciate about this mangaka is that many of her characters are actually gay, not just "gay for one dude." I swear, most guys in yaoi aren't even bisexual, they all just like women until one magical penis comes along. Anyway, I also love her art, which is why I keep coming back to these frustrating situations. This is Minase Masara all over again. Gorgeous, stunning art; creepy, rapey couplings. I hate how forced things tend to be. Why can't both people clearly want each other from the start? This story is an exception to that in that both characters are gay, but it's purely tastes that are preventing an immediate relationship and not, say, the fact that they're related. (Yeah, I put up with a lot for her art. x_x) The characters in this one aren't super likable right off the bat, but I'm hoping it'll turn into something interesting. Fingers crossed! Four stars for now, given with optimism.

Huh. Okay. It does sort of seem like a game between them, but there's so much inner dialogue that I'm not sure. Seems like he's afraid of facing some part of himself, and he's realizing that he is indeed a masochist. But maybe something is lost in translation. I'm not sure. This was very short.
