Bloodpix's manga / #yaoi(127)

A collection of stories including one extra. The first story is the main event as it takes up 3 chapters and the extra. It's cute, it's fine. I'm less inclined to judge the age difference because the people around them don't care and support them and I don't actually know any numbers. They're cute, it is built nice; that for a short story it crams a even amount of plot comparative to its casual moments. It gets a 2/5. The second story is a one-shot of two campus strangers who watched each other and fell in love with the other without even speaking to them. It's cute but grinds my gears because I wanted more buildup or any interaction but they hang out for one day, not even the full day mind you, and they're macking on each other and doing naughty and *people it's been like 5ish hours please.* And then shit goes back to normal. 3/5, needed more tension/build/relief. The third story is shameless. It's about a guy who attends his fathers funeral to find a random man has come there crying. He is in pain and consults with his dads friend, who I guess is a hypnotist or something, as he takes him through his dreams to recall this guy. He remembers his name immediately, that he was his fathers college lover and beyond, and that he TRIED TO STRANGLE HIM TO DEATH AS A CHILD. The solution for this is to confront him and the old lover is sorry because he loved this CHILD. LIKE LOVE LOVE THIS CHILD. AND THE KID NOW ADULT I THINK SAYS YEAH ME TOO, ITS ALL GOOD THAT YOU NEARLY KILLED ME AND MADE IT SO I HAD TO REPRESS MY MEMORIES OUTTA FEAR ALL THESE YEARS!! Absolute crock. They hook up; what's the age difference on that?! If they were college lovers before his dad married his mom when was he born? At LEAST he's 18 years younger then the twink looking old flame. I'm okay with some age differences *but the fact that he was in love with him as a child fucks it for me. AND THAT HE CHOKED HIM. YKNOW THAT DOES IT TOO.* 1/5 The extra end chapter is just the first story getting some closure. 3/5.

Actually upsetting? Like, it's in the title so drag me for an opinion, but this is rape. They hypnotized him for 5 chapters and raped him. Then when they released him and CONTINUED to rape him he gets over that matter real quick because his body has basically been reformed to need sex. AND IT ENDS ON A LOVING NOTE. Mad. Actually mad.

Honestly? Fuck the son. The dad didn't KILL the mother, she was in a car accident after another verbal fight that seemed to happen a lot. The dad, while he has violent issues, clearly has a conscience that isn't all there but enough of one that he isn't heartless. He wants to surround himself with people who aren't just greedy asshats or trying to pull a quick one under his feet. He grew up poor and he clearly has trust issues. I also wish it wasn't so violent but at the end of the day his attitude makes sense. I think he's a much better chemistry driven character, more than the son we know vaguely and who literally got together with a gay man who gave up actually everything for his father/son relationship to heal only to cuck him over after marriage and pretend he was having a affair to the point he was exiled from the company, disowned, and casually abandoned his supposed love-of-his-life for over a year AS A WAY OF REVENGE AGAINST HIS FATHER. The dad doesn't deserve it. The MC doesn't deserve it. I DON'T DESERVE IT.

I enjoyed this but the further I got the more likely I was to skim panels to the point I skimmed almost the entire chapter. I'm not sure if the uploads themselves are disjointed or if that's how the reading goes but it was sometimes jarring moving from chapter to chapter because it wasn't commonly what was just occurring, sometimes not even related to what was occurring. My other gripe is the development of this relationship. Like the jumping chapters don't help this issue but I feel like their relation started off well, sorta overly emotional if you ask me but it's workable. There is growth, there is progression- aaandd they're together. Now they're apart? Now they're together again. I'm lost. They had the minimal build and then they were just jettisoned together like magnets. It didn't help that the 'relationship' blossomed on the idea of reincarnation mind you. It's not the reincarnation that's the problem- the fact that they exemplified that he was the reincarnation of that asymmetrical butterfly with the weird wings via his strange mole placement that I hadn't questioned once? TOP TIER. LOVE THAT. CRIED. But they glance over something that should really have been looked into and considered further, on more then even a emotional level. If they had more developmental time and didn't just shove everyone to the side character corner of dismay? Easily 4-5 star.

I love these idiots so much, help.
