Love triangle 1

Ai Suru Hito #1

by Yuki Yoshihara, Monika Klinger-Hammond (Translator)

The heroine is named Kinoshita Sakiko. She is 20 years old, and a college student. She is totally in love with her 28 year old university professor, Chifyu-sensei. He is tall, moody, and handsome, with short dark hair and sexy eyes. Unfortunately for Sakiko, he always refuses her very aggressive displays of affection. Yet she never gives up. Even when faced with a housing crisis, Sakiko goes to drastic lengths to earn money so she can stay in the area and continue her pursuit of her teacher. However Sakiko isn't very bright when it comes to making money. She actually tries to sell herself on a street corner!! But her price is too high, and no one is interested. Then she meets a guy on the street named Natsuo. He is also really cute, with long blond hair. He is interested in Sakiko, and after one really great kiss, he takes her to his apartment. Things are starting to get steamy when they are interrupted by the arrival of Natsuo's brother. Guess who it is?

pernah nggak baca buku karena tertarik sama premisnya? lo excited sekaligus khawatir sama cara penulis mengolah jalan ceritanya. aisuru hito kayak gitu dan sukses bikin gue yang baca kecewa. kecewa karena gue berharap ceritanya gak se-weird yang gue baca ini. udahlah salah satu karakter cowoknya udah beristri, karakter satunya lagi yang notabene adalah adik si cowok beristri ngambil keperawanan karakter si cewek untuk nambah 'pengalaman' si cewek. messed up kan? yeah, tunggu sampe di bagian si cewek pengen si cowok mendeklarasikan dirinya sebagai selingkuhan ke sebuah media nasional (yg dateng ke rumahnya untuk artikel feature tentabg kariernya sebagai dosen).

nggak banget.

Molto buffo, molto balordo, anche un po' tenero, e anche un pelo hot così a sorpresa
Devo recuperarli tutti adesso

It follows a fairly typical trend. Girl falls in love with someone higher than their station, they meet resistance from circumstance and/or family, some dirty stuff happens that turns a good girl into some odd sex fiend, girl ends up pregnant and/or married. Can't say I was caught-off guard here, but it was slightly funny esp when she isn't even recognized as a person in her "cat form."

it wasn't to bad. uhhhhhhh...fast read, thankfully. Would Manga count towards the reading challenge?

¿Qué es esta mierda?
Cada noche leo algo más extraño que la noche anterior y genuinamente me ha hecho cuestionarme muchas cosas.
Ya solo la protagonista es tonta de remate, pero ¿los demás personajes también? no tienen lógica, motivaciones ni trasfondo, además de que toca algo muy importante: la objetivización de los hombres, creo que haré una investigación sobre el tema.
Aunque el profesor si es mi tipo.
Igual quisiera mencionar que a pesar de tener un kink con los hermanos, no de esta manera, no manejado así, de esta manera me da algo de escalofríos.

Re-read just because.
Twelve years later, this has become an unreadable mess. I didn't even fully read the pages, skimming the chapters instead. It's boring, sexist, weirdly infantilising, stalkerish, toxic and just plain fucking annoying.
I mean, I was only Meh about the manga when I read it the first time, not really liking her over-the-top personality. I think there could be an interesting story there but it's handled poorly and it makes me hate the genre.

Just don't read this, really.

Lei non è nemmeno umana: sembra un animaletto piccolo e rompiballe. Non ha decenza e non ha vergogna e l'unica cosa che la descrive è il suo amore (piuttosto ossessivo) per il professore.

Visto che la madre deve scappare, lei si ritrova al verde e decide di diventare una escort dall'oggi al domani per potersi pagare le tasse universitarie. Ma una come lei che fa la escort proprio. Poi, è volgare fuori di maniera.

E nonostante ciò, tutti le vanno dietro.

Che delusione!

This is a funny, hilarious quite odd comedy that luckily isn't taking itself too seriously or at all for that matter

[M-AY · Rating 5 out of 5]

Pas de réflexion philosophique mais une lecture drôle, coquine (et un brin cynique) où pour une fois c'est la femme qui prend son "pied" (allusion grivoise complètement appropriée).
Et comme écrit sur la couverture : pour public averti.
