otakulys's manga / #younger seme(5)

I don't mind non-con when it's treated as the horrible act it is, but the fact that it's easily forgiven always disgusts me. Otherwise, this would have been a rather sweet, if not a bit odd, collection of stories. The rape is only in the fourth story, though, for those trying to avoid that.

Really screwed up, kinda weird, and then it just ends. Pretty depressing.

Damn it. I loved the first story, and I ADORE the art, but that second story is just so creepy. And not in the fun way. I just can't stand yaoiland rules where assault isn't assault as long as it turns out the dude had a boner for you all along. Molesting a sleeping person is gross, and it made it really hard for me to keep reading. Had to drop my five star rating down because of it. What's worse is it's the longest story in here. It's a yaoi cliche full of uncomfortable stuff, so I'm pretty disappointed. I'll keep my review for the other story here, though. FIRST STORY: Very cute so far. I was worried something else would happen and misunderstandings would delay them coming together. Glad that wasn't the case! It was actually really cute how he was purposely teasing him and planning to finally reward him. I wish more manga touched on that, because there's something kind of hot about a guy making another guy wait just for fun, even though he knows they're going to have sex in the end.

"You're not an old man???" That... is that supposed to be a compliment? Does this guy look super wrinkly and decrepit and I'm just not seeing it? Anyway, this isn't bad. It could have been more powerful, but I did like the little parallel at the end. Not a fan of the older uke/younger seme thing, and an underage seme at that, but otherwise, it was all right.

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.
