Reviews

[Kynthos-the-Archer (Kyn) · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked the art but the story messes with my Yaoifangirl mind. I mean there's a total role reversal of rescuing the damsel here. I love feisty Ukes but a Seme that needs saving from his Uke?

This Uke is not only feisty but forward as well. He has no qualms asking to be fuq by his Seme.

And, and, and... it's his first time with a guy too. (#／。＼#)

So okay, it has a refreshing twist from the norms of Yaoihood. Just that I am quite a bit of a conservative Yaoifangirl. I tend to love the 'Regular Yaoi' formula bit too much.

**grammar**

Was a good story and the seme loved the uke for so many years till his love become mutual, that's sweet. I cant give 5 stars bcs i always expect something more and a manga must make me say "awesome" or really "hit me", to be a 5 stars, is just that feeling that makes u say is a 5 stars sometimes, and u cant explain which one it is.
