butchdykerights's manga / #beautiful art(14)

i like it when series' show lube and condom use naturally instead of these really weird unnatural sex scenes! it makes it feel very real and wholesome

ending felt rushed

i enjoy the main duo and how they aren't a couple or meant to have a healthy relationship, they just want to torment each other lol

MC is a trans woman who is questioning wanting to live as a woman. it's not awful representation, but the ending is kind of bittersweet and the message is a bit convoluted

lol.........the background of growing up in homes where words hurt so then you're scared of your own feelings.... hit a bit hard

the only good part is the art. the storyline is overly edgy and written to be provocative. the plot at the beginning was solid but deteriorated as Anri became more and more relevant. extremely disturbing taste in fanservice, and there is gratuitous fanservice and queerbaiting present. all of the worst BL tropes but with no actual relationship. Clearly written for basic fujoshis. fetishisation and dehumanisation of sex workers and the sex industry as a whole - including a lot of child sexual exploitation and again! super graphic and pointless sexual assault scenes/sexual abuse. i have dark tastes, and i like psychological and historical series. but returning to this series from when i dropped it in 2015, it is 100% worse than I remember because back then I was a kid who thought that this was somehow great plot pacing/character writing lmaoooo. what a waste of beautiful art and a great premise
