tsukineko's manga / #smut(679)

Spin-off of 'Minori no Te'.

Apparently, there's the usual yaoi rape to love trope, but they spend a long time resolving it, so it should be interesting to see how they do that.

The main couple are so adorbs! I often find cutesy uke annoying, but not Rintarou: he perfectly complements Kaede, and the 2 so obviously cherish each other. Kaede is just yum! - a sexy, slightly sadistic seme, who adores his uke to an excessive extent! I found the other stories too short for any real character development, and they just got in the way of the main story imho. Although very well drawn and thoroughly enjoyable to read, I found this manga rather cliché and predictable. It was also unfortunate that I read this straight after 'Ten Count', which is truly excellent and is one of the rare manga that I unreservedly rate 5 whole stars. 'Katekyo' is just not in the same league imho, thus the 4 stars. Read also 'Koitomo!?', a spin-off about one of the other featured couples.

Sequel to 'Nekrateholic'.

3.5 stars. I preferred the teacher x student story and would have given 4 stars had it been the main or only story. The sex was hot in both stories.

Unfortunately, forever incomplete - RIP Tohjoh Asami! I feel a bit conflicted about this one, as I found it simultaneously hot/disturbing/sad. As it's incomplete, we'll never know where sensei was taking this, so it's not clear what the mc is feeling. His words are a little ambiguous, but when he says that he wants to 'end it all', it could be interpreted as him being suicidal. Even if he is suicidal, it's also unclear whether it's because he's being raped by his bro, or whether he's a willing participant but he feels incredibly guilty about being incestuous. As we're neither in the character's mind nor in the mangaka's mind, we don't know for certain. What I can say for sure, is that, (if we imagine that the uke was a willing participant), the BDSM was pretty hot! (Well I always find Tohjoh Asami's smut hot, whether vanilla or kinky.) 4 stars for the smut, the art, and the fact that it brought out all sorts of conflicting emotions and made me think, (even if I'm not sure that that was intentional on the mangaka's part).
