otakulys's manga / #sex toys(4)

Enka - Zetsurin Ou to Yokubou Ouji

Complete | TAMAQUIS Wren | 2000 released

A very strange, disturbing story, but I found the cold determination of the uke to be refreshing. So often atrocious acts are forgiven because the victim falls in love with the abuser, and it's rare to see that smashed to pieces.

To be able to appreciate this at all, you need to put on your Yaoi Land glasses, where stalkerish behavior is romantic and rape is like a firm handshake. If you can get past that crap, the art is good, and the story is cute if not predictable. The seme is incredibly hot, which is my main reason for continuing reading. If you're bothered by things like easily forgiven rape or rape to love, don't bother with this story. But if you, like me, can occasionally set that irritation aside, it might be an enjoyable read.

Amai Hari

2.5 stars based on just the first story, but I'm waiting to see if more comes out. I think I've read this one before. It's familiar, but then, a lot of these stories are similar. I'm not a fan of rape being excused in any way, but it's a pretty common theme. If the author goes on to show that she meant for the first story to be as fucked up as it is and hadn't intended redemption in the seme's explanation, that'd be great. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Eh. It's just another rapey smut story. Though I did like how he grinned after biting his finger at the end.
