First story has so many problems with it. It epitomizes kidnapping and forced acts as a show of love without much sense as if the author ran out of ideas to write something else. I mean forced relationships can fuel fantasies but still........ Badly and lazily done. This is part of a problem of a flood of yaoi where such actions becomes a shortcut to romantic experience. You can't just "BAM THIS MEANS LUUUVVVV" for no reason.
Next problem? Ignorance in race portrayal. I mean the country doesn't exist but this (the clothing and architecture) really resembles a badly portrayed exaggerated Arabian land. (Unless they totally do not remind anyone of any existing culture like a bunch of aliens, this manga can't get away with how they are ignorantly portrayed) it paints the characters as backward ppl who don't make sense by turning to a crystal ball to discuss about a bride, kidnaps and don't listen to ppl. A little distasteful in my opinion
