otakulys's manga / #unrequited love(76)

Urusai Kurai no Kokuhaku Kudasai

Complete | Sachimo | 2018 released

What? No! That's WAY too short! I was really getting into the couple and how cute they are. Plus there are so few m/m manga out there where one of the characters has powers that are interesting beyond being a gateway to smut. Supernatural abilities is my favorite thing ever, but it's so rarely included in the type of stuff I actually like to read or watch. I need my gay, supernatural stuff!!! This breaks my heart. Very cute, way too short.

Boku To

Complete | kishi torajirou | 2000 released

I read it even though I hate sad things, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. It's sad, sure, and it'd be nice if it showed people with their second loves, having a happy ending. But I dunno. someone said 8 is the last chapter, but it says it's still going, so I guess we'll see. Chapter six made me cry. Poor baby. I also was confused a lot because the boys all look really similar. Sometimes it was clear that one of the boys was the same in different stories, but sometimes one would look the same but say or do things that suggested it was a different boy, so I don't freaking know. Sad little slice of heartache but there's still hope. They're young, so you know they'll find a guy who actually loves them someday.

Asterisk (torino Shino)

Complete | torino shino | 2016 released

A very sweet little story that becomes more irritating based on a sheer lack of communication. I hate that shit so much. But as sad as it was that he broke his heart that way, at least they do come together in the end. It just seems like such a long way around to that point. Maybe they did need to grow up apart, but twelve years is a long time to be separated based on the sheer fact that you won't just tell each other how you feel. Anyway, that aside, it's a nice little story, and I'm glad they end up happy, even when work regularly puts miles between them.

MODS

Complete | Natsume Kazuki | 2000 released

Okay, what was with that final shot, though? Was there supposed to be more, or is there something I'm missing? Blah, I don't like that, but otherwise it's a great story. Very emotional and sad. I cried my eyes out and got a headache. But it's a beautiful story and I wish there were more. I love stuff like this. Tora is such a lovely seme. Their whole world is complicated but fascinating, and I'm so glad I finally finished this.

I’m a pop star , now expose me !

Complete | Hokke shima,Shimahokke . | 2019 released

Eh... I like the concept here a lot, and there were many things that I wish were more common themes in yaoi. But I can't get over what a shit the seme is. Plus, things were kind of rushed and all over the place, or way too convenient. The seme was a dick from the start, though, and just because the uke was counting on that doesn't undo it. He never apologized or anything. For that, I'd rate it at a three. But there were other things I did like, so I guess a 3.5, rounded up to 4.

The Story of The Princess and The Little Mermaid

Complete | murasakino | 2000 released

Well that was a bummer. Too short to really suck you in, but the last line was still kind of a gut punch.

Chaotic Desire

Ongoing | 리팬 | 2000 released

Haha, kinda cute so far. I'm looking forward to how it unfolds. Only two chapters right now, but hopefully it updates soon.

Help Me, Teacher

Complete | Soorak | 2000 released

Lol, just a dorky little smut comic, but it was cute enough. I thought the Alphas were hot, but the Omega was... okay. Kinda plain. The nurse, though. More with him, man. Anyway, it was simple and straightforward. If you're looking for a threesome in omegaverse, that's literally all this is. XD

Someone else's BL Manhwa

Complete | Bobari , 보바리 | 2000 released

Awwwwww! What a sweet comic! I like that it handled real life issues for lgbt people in Korea, and it basically portrayed a lot of different ways to be a guy who likes guys. I like that it also had an open, hopeful ending for some characters, where the happy ending isn't a relationship, but finding a way to make yourself ready to receive one when the time is right. Very wholesome overall, though I would have liked to see more with the parents and the whole coming out thing. But I like the way the characters all grew and changed. And I like the idea of them all being friends in the future. I think they will be. ^^

Usagi no Mori

Ongoing | Enjo | 2018 released

Everybody wants to fuck this poor asexual kid. This story has me torn. I can make a better decision once it's finished, but right now it's hard to say. I don't like how pushy the seme can be, though they do discuss it in ways that other BL rarely does. This story is actually about trauma. Regardless of sexual experiences or desires, the character isn't sexually attracted to people, which makes him asexual. Asexual people can still love and desire sex. I know, because I'm asexual with a high sex drive. I enjoy it and seek it out, but I don't feel sexual attraction to people. The assault part could have been way worse for yaoi. I don't know, I have a lot of mixed feelings. The art is so gorgeous, and I do like elements of this. It's unique and focuses on something very rare--the sexual abuse of a mother to a son. It seems like she's never actually touched him, but all of the stuff she does to him is definitely sexual abuse. It's so creepy. Poor baby. Just the first two volumes out now, but hopefully the third will come soon.
