Reviews

[Rick · Rating 2 out of 5]

Another mildly disappointing manga. Characters seemed stereotypical and the rough, disjointed translation into English gives the impression of a story without a plot that just rambles from one scene to another. Another frustrating aspect was the subtle way that the story moralizes while trying to appear free-spirited. It was worse in the opening sections and did improve as later chapters were produced, but that left much of it as unintentionally moralizing propaganda. This seems subtextual and was probably unintentional, but it's still there. It also reinforces the misconception that everyone is polarized aseither a top or a bottom, either aggressive or passive. In stead, the vast majority of people are at neither end of such polarities but actually encompass both and, depending on many psychological factors, they fluctuate deepening on moods and needs at any given time. This story then categorizies people into limited stereotypical labels that define instead of merely describe.

2.5 stars, not great

I love a good yaoi and this one had all the right bits for me. So happy I was able to get this out of a grab bag because it's honestly one of the best I've read in a while.

This entire series is pure porn and yet (or because of that :D) it was a fun read. There are some objectionable parts but I think overall what I liked best was the sappiness of the main couple and how much they doted on each other.

The anime is based on the first volume of the manga series.

Reading manga is complicated, seriously. It's hard to remember what order to read it in. Still, this was fun!
