The story itself is simple, a plot that I've read over a hundred times: heartbroken uke finds new love in the arms of a gentle seme. In this case, the former is a sexy college student and the latter is still in high school.
...wee-woo-wee-woo-wee-woo.
Well, I took a risk. Normally I'm not a fan of these sort of couples (especially when one half is a teen), but the uke was just too irresistible. ԅ(¯﹃¯ԅ)
I'm shocked yet thrilled to admit that I ADORED every page. Presented as, dare I say, a wholesome romance with no over-the-top drama. Just two individuals with a friendship as healthy as their communication skills. It was honestly a breath of fresh air.
The artstyle is beautiful as well and my eyes lingered far too long on certain panels of Kanta-san. lol
I highly recommend this manga to those who are looking for a relaxing story that you can sqeee~♡ to.
Considering how much I loved the author's previous work, I was really looking forward to this. Plus, visually, the uke is my perfect cup of tea~!
...Listen, I tried. I tried very, very hard to put aside my complaints and mindlessly enjoy the H scenes at least, but the confusing narrative made it practically impossible.
The entire concept of Kuga being an actor(?) for various BL manga rather than an actual character from a singular title was just so confusing. How does that work? Is he able to change his appearance then? How exactly does their world affect us? Are mangaka and all other storytellers just puppets - somehow manipulated into creating works that this "mirror world" can act out for money? Do we even have free will?? lol
Honestly, why couldn't Kuga be a nasty seme from a manga? Simple and done. No unnecessary complexity.
My next big gripe is with the seme, Oto. I understand that he's the ohitoyoshi-type but, my gawd, there has to be a limit. (@_@) He accepts the most ridiculous situations without question and there's no basis as to why he does what he does. He's just a "good person" to the point that he's bland.
Imo, this might've worked a bit better with more of a comedic tone that acknowledges the absurdity of this whole plot.
On a positive note, though, the art is absolutely gorgeous. I'll still be on the lookout for what Kaketama-sensei will cook in the future.
A thrilling love-triangle that teeters the line between wholesome comedy and somebody's throat getting slashed.
At first, I thought Hachimori would be the one to look out for. However, besides his creepy tendencies, he's honestly quite innocent and harmless. Meanwhile, Tate is much too kind-hearted (so far) to be a real threat.
The guilty one is Mitsu. And I love him, Your Honor.
Characters like him are- HNNG!!! *chef's kiss* Oh lordy, he's right up my alley. I need him to be with Tate. I need it so baaad. (⚭-⚭ )
Who am I kidding?? I want them all to f*ck.
...Anywho, I really enjoyed the pace at which key events progressed as well. The story doesn't rely heavily on stalker tropes for cheap gag moments that have no impact on the overall plot. I appreciated the presence of a genuine story with tangible developments in each relationship.
I'm hungry for more! Can't wait for the next volume!
I'm glad that this got as popular as it did because at least I won't be the only one plummeting to the lowest depths of Hell. :D
Jokes aside, I was rather surprised by how wholesome the overall tone turned out to be. Don't get me wrong, their relationship is 100% twisted. But there is this quiet understanding of why and how their love morphed into something so abnormal.
The author does an incredible job of portraying that these two brothers were never really "normal" to begin with, and that all they needed was one last push.
My biggest gripe is that the manga ends on somewhat of a cliffhanger. You do get a glimpse of the future, but I honestly would've enjoyed seeing it fully fleshed out with perhaps another volume or something.
Anyways, as long as incest isn't a complete deal-breaker for you, definitely give this one a try. One of the best reads that I've come across in a while.
大塚剛央さんの初受けCD『凪がれ星』からもうすぐ1年。
待ちに待った2作目がまさかのDom/Subモノ…!
普段の落ち着いた柔らかな美声があんなにもトロットロにぃ⁉
はい!そうなんですよ!現在ここでしか聴けません―( ゚∀゚)―!!
特にスパンキングされる場面が大好きで何度もループしているんですけどw、
痛みと快楽のバランスがとにかくKAN☆PEKIでした!
サブスぺに落ちた時の声も可愛らしく、けどどこか不気味な感じもあって、
そういう細かい表現が堪能できる最高の演技でした。
田丸さんも想像以上のdomっぷりが「SSSランクは声の低さじゃない」
っと思わせる感じがすごく良かったです!
しかしこれ、2巻もCD化してもらわないとあの終わり方じゃあw
だからみんな買って!このままじゃ物足りない!もっと欲しい!欲しい!!
次回はも~っと甘くて濃厚なプレイを楽しみにしていますㇷㇷ...
ドラマCDのみの感想です。
原作のポップ&シュールな雰囲気よりも落ち着いた感じの音声化でした。
1巻の内容が好きですごく楽しみにしてたんですけど、ちょっと期待はずれ。
特にエロ度が原作と比べて低かったです。読みながら聴くとギャップが激しい。
それと小野さんの喘ぎも自分がイメージしてたMIAよりも抑えめでした。
相変わらずのイイ声でしたが、そこはもっと…!! o(>_<;)o
田丸さんは非常に舞沢でしたw 確実に今回のMVPです!
んん~ 単にキャストが目当てなら買って損はないと思いますが、
原作のファンは少し物足りないと感じるかもしれません。
自分は前者の方なので「萌2」にしました。
