This is one of Harada's happier works. Maybe happy isn't the right word. But it has more hope than some of her other stories. I'm cheering for Yata-chan.
I've heard a lot of Harada and her works,but Yatamoto is the first manga I'm reading from her. I love how she started it light and then showed the true colors of the story. I particularly like Momo,such a sad character from the beginning (everytime he smiles and uses his body while pretending to be stupid, you can actually feel how broken he is,it's like he stopped fighting and accepted his fate) But anyway,the art,storytelling are amazingly well done. In these types of stories I think there is no true happy ending,I know Yata-chan is the best thing to have happened to Momo,but still I didn't like how he treated him at the start,or how he raped him because he became jealous, how he used him as a sex toy and how he forgets that Momo is person not just a "cute pet". I know it's a yaoi and this is common,but characters like Momo make it hard to simply forget about it.There's no prince for Momo. Maybe it will get better....hopefully.
PS:happier works?? Now I'm really curious lol
*a lot about Harada
I love MOmo too. Did you read Sumomo?

It's not shota. It's Momo before this story. It makes Yata look better (in comparison).
it's about that other guy,suda and momo.....yes,Yata is a lot better in comparison. I haven't read it but I know how the story goes. I just feel so bad for Momo,his story is heart wrenching.
wow....that was so powerful "am I seen as someone born from hatred?" that was really sad and meaningful. Harada is incredibly talented.
