Kimi wa Jun'ai ni Fusawashii
Aw, poor baby. :( I like it as of chapter three, but I hope the next chapter comes soon. I hate misunderstandings, but this seems like it could resolve fairly easily. Fingers crossed!
The Story of The Princess and The Little Mermaid
Well that was a bummer. Too short to really suck you in, but the last line was still kind of a gut punch.
My Childhood Friend Was a God
Definitely heartbreaking but not hopeless. He's always with him, and one day he'll die too, and maybe they'll be together. There must be a special ending for a person made exclusively for that god, so I imagine they'll be with each other after death. It definitely made me cry, though. Loving someone who you know will be gone soon is a painful thing. The comments made it sound like the story was way more dark and depressing than it was, though. It was sad and hurt, but I think eventually he'll go on to have a normal life and know that his best friend and first love is watching out for him.
A Near-Death experience is a cry for love
Wow, so sad and miserable! I dunno, I guess we'll see how it goes. I really hope this guy treats him well. It's like one shitty thing after another.
OUROBOROS:ウロボロス
Ooh, this looks promising! I know it's just the first chapter, but dark, twisted, and pretty, plus the rapist isn't his love interest? I'm excited to see how it unfolds. I imagine there'll be a lot of emotional suffering, but hopefully there's some satisfying catharsis and a happy ending.
Orokamono no Ai no Uta
I feel like this is one of those stories where I need to wait until it's all out so that it doesn't stress me out and depress me. I hope the way the main romance unfolds is satisfying. I hate straight guy goes gay stuff, but it's clear that's where this is going, so I'm gonna try to push the feelings aside. It could end up being great. The art is unusual and pretty. I just hope it doesn't go through endless crap with a rushed conclusion where they're together in the final chapter or few pages.
Zetsubou ni Nake
I'm having serious mixed feelings about this one, but that smirk at the end of chapter four told me it isn't a simple rape to love story. I'm both exhilarated and scared. XD Looking forward to more.
Hitori to Hitori no 3650nichi
The art is GORGEOUS. And it took her years to finish, so it only gets better as it goes. By the end of the main story, it blew me away. This is such a sad and beautiful story. I absolutely loved it. It's so rare for people to explore the psychological aspects of sexual assault and the way that people can internalize these things. The connection he made to his past mistake was a way for him to cope with what happened to him, but it only hurt him further. This is actually much more common in sexual abuse survivors than people probably realize. The love between them is so tender and so genuine. I love them so much and could read all about them forever. I can't wait for this mangaka to release more stuff. It really clicks with my crying fetish, too. I kinda feel like the mangaka has a crying fetish herself, because there's crying in almost every chapter, lol.
Bound to Be Fools
Dude, I hate Jun SO MUCH. He's such a selfish piece of shit. He didn't even think of Kangjin that entire time, like he totally forgot about him and didn't regret how cruel he was. He never apologized or anything. I hate this because you know they're gonna legit fall back in love and get together, but I want Jun to actually fall in love and then have his heart destroyed. He's awful. The story focuses so much on him and his hardships, but why the hell are we expected to care? He did something horrible and never even felt bad about it. Even after seeing what he did to him, Jun is just like, oh no, he's seeing me at a low point! Screw you, Jun. It's so unsatisfying right now at chapter 16, but if Jun really gets what's coming to him, I'll raise my score for the manga. EDIT: I still hate Jun. I don't care if he finally apologized in chapter 22. It was such a weird, lame, flat apology after what he did. It's like he didn't even give a crap that whole time. But according to the comments, I'm the only person who feels this way, so I guess I'll just have to vent by myself. Break his stupid heart, Kangjin! EDIT: So he didn't end up with either guy, which was an interesting choice, but wtf was with that ending? "Yay, I'm getting discharged!" THE END. We don't get any other hints as to how his life is going? It felt like an afterthought, like okay, Jun has accepted he doesn't love him anymore, Chisoo has accepted they can never be together, so he's not important anymore. I think really the author just got tired of drawing it or something, because the ending seems tacked on. Maybe originally he was supposed to die. I'd almost prefer that because this feels kind of cheap. But okay. Whatever. At least Jun never got what he wanted. I'm also glad Chisoo never lost it and went after them, which is what I thought might happen. I'm glad I skipped a good portion of this, though. It doesn't feel like anything ever truly resolved.
