Mama Fujoushi's manga / #bdsm(48)

A little weird, but not bad. Guy who thinks his sex life is getting boring proposes other things but the top gets pushy when backed into a corner and ties him up. Works out well. Could be better, but could be worse.

Meh. I'm not sure if he liked the guy or not. REALLY wasn't clear. Not a reread.

So far, I really like it. The bdsm is (mostly) typical of yaoi, and though there aren't safewords, there IS safety. The top listens to the bottom when he says he doesn't want it. Very happy with this so far.

First three (4?) chapters are the yakuza who almost kills his lover and ends up together later. I love those two. So good. Second is childhood kids, one who ends up impotent, and the one who caused the trauma (turns out to be abandonment issues) turning out to be the doctor. Third is university senpai/kouhai who meet again for work. Older is convinced he'll never have that "morning after" but after spending the night together, kouhai comes back with groceries for breakfast and they confess. :) Lovely series of stories, especially the first with the yakuza. Kinda tough but so good.

Okay, so, I liked the first story (ch 1-3), though I got annoyed with Hino for keeping so much to himself. I did appreciate, though, how at the end, he recognized that he did it to himself. I didn't like that Kishida went somewhere else instead of asking Hino for help about it. I liked the idea that Kishida was open to switching, and that brought it up. Overall,I enjoyed the story. 4/5 Second one (chap 4) with the Akio and Yoshinari seemed... off. It wasn't *bad* but I didn't like Yoshinari's attitude. He seemed more cruel than anything (though he did come to Akio's rescue when Akio was faced with his crush (Hino from the previous story) being in love with the new guy. That helped and made brought it up to a 4. Chapter 5 bugged me. It seemed disjointed and just... really weird. I couldn't seem to wrap my brain around what was going on. He was aware of the other guy? And... was surprised? I think I need to reread it to make sure I read it right. Not rating this one, at least not yet. Ch 6. Well. The tying up thing pissed me off. (Non-consensual, even for yaoi, and dangerous, dammit). However, the pain and domination *was* consensual and better than most yaoi bdsm. I loved 4/5 for this (it'd be 5 without the tying up thing.) Ch 7--two pages. Cute but da fuq with being 2 pages? O.o Ch 8--what reeeeeeaaaaallllly brought it down. Wtf was that ending? I don't care if it's a "I'll see him again someday," that's just not cool. No. No no no no no. Just no. The kid was in love with his teacher? No problem, but it was Jamie's story, so why was the other MC--the one Jamie obviously liked--with someone else? Then they (obviously split) and kid just gets sent away? No. No resolution to this. No no no. 1/5 3.25 rounded down.

CONSENSUAL! Dude. That in itself is hot, and the sex was hot too. The whole thing was actually really good. Short, of course (one shot) but I enjoyed the play.

Fun series of stories with a bunch of different themes. Not much in the way of sex (despite the bdsm!) but still good stories. Definitely good for a reread.
