otakulys's manga / #war(6)

Rikara

Complete | mizukami shin | 2000 released

The third one was sad but interesting. These stories were all a bit rushed, and some of them were pretty strange, but they were entertaining. This author really has a thing for rimming, haha. Three and a half stars.

Giglio

Complete | Inariya Fusanosuke | 2007 released

If it weren't so common to easily excuse rape in yaoi, I might have had more of an interest in examining the ambiguity of what happens with the uke in this story, but as is, the encounter between the main characters smacks of "it's okay that he raped you cause you were denying that you liked dicks," which is pretty gross. There were some interesting concepts that came up in little hints, but none of them were fully realized. 2.5 stars just for having some semi-intriguing concepts. The ending line, though. Wtf.

Snow Kingdom Manhua

Ongoing | cao tang wo long sheng | 2016 released

Very beautiful so far, though a very short chapter. The translation is a little off, but it isn't so bad that it's too hard to understand. I get the general concept, but I feel like the first few pages are a little confusing. Hopefully it updates in the near future.

Hideout (zin)

Complete | zin | 2000 released

Yuck. Gross art, gross dudes, gross actions. And he gets away with it. It's a fetish thing, so this is made for a very specific audience. I hope they find it, because I certainly was not the core demographic for this one.

Oath Of Allegiance

Complete | matsumoto yoh | 2017 released

Just a little snippet about the side couple. I love the original, so I was excited to find the two oneshots, but so far, not much has been added to explain the story. Damn.

Paranoia Star

Complete | Maruo Suehiro | 1986 released
