otakulys's manga / #sci-fi(8)

Flawed and a bit silly in places, but still an enjoyable read. It might have benefited from being multiple volumes that allowed more character development, etc. But hey, everyone was hot, so I'm happy.

Haha, very bizarre. Harada's stuff tends to be twisted as fuck or very bizarre, sometimes both. When it isn't soul-crushing it's... well... this.

So heartbreaking. I kind of hate AI related romance for so many reasons. It's like an immortal and a mortal in love. One will live and die and the other will exist and then stop existing. It makes me feel like there's no true happy ending when one of the people isn't real. That aside, I just love this mangaka. I've been meaning to read some of her work all this time, and I can't believe it took me so long. I adore her art and her approach to story in general. I just hope I end up feeling satisfied by the conclusions of this one.

I'm so glad I'm finally reading this author. Who cares if I have to get up in seven hours to go to work? I'm gonna keep reading what I can get my hands on until I pass out. This was a very sweet and sad little story, but ultimately it was satisfying. I'd like to see Arthur, even after the mistakes he made, find a happy ending, too. I'm hoping there's a spin-off with him out there somewhere, other than the sad little oneshot about his doomed relationship with Renji. Anyway, beautiful all around. This mangaka has instantly shot up into my favorites list.

Haha, I like those weird, dark turns. Definitely a strange oneshot, think it could have benefited from being longer, had some clarity issues here and there, but it wasn't hard to understand. I appreciate that it wasn't a typical story.

Ah, sadly everything translated here is oneshots that have been posted separately. But it's always fun to give them a second read. I love Harada. The Messiah one has never really done it for me, though. I don't like the idea of him getting with either of those nasty dudes. The fact that he develops feelings for the one guy... yuck. But I enjoy the others. ^^

:(

I hate that stuff like this is never m/m, because m/m almost never has a real plot or anything full of action. So you seen pretty guys here, but it means nothing. NOTHING. Anyway, we'll see how this unfolds. Only three chapters so far. I hope there's no pointless het shoved in, at least.
