July's manga / #One Shot(20)

Wow, this manga is even worse than the anime. At least the anime had some set up with how the older guy was inappropriately falling in love with someone underaged, but this manga just went nope and jumped straight to sex. It's not even well-drawn. The panels are sloppy and the art is simplistic. There's absolutely no plot of course.

Very predictable one shot. I guessed the Jisatsuya prevented suicides as opposed to helping people commit suicide from the very first page. Art is below average for a manga. Short read. Some good one-liners here and there, but quite forgettable.

Short one shot manhua about what lengths people will go to be able to see a dead loved one again. Art was pretty, but the panels flowed poorly and it was hard to understand what was happening at times. Very rushed and uneven pacing. Nothing is explained and you just have to go with the flow.

A manhua like Parasyte. Very interesting, but sadly, it's only a one shot. Leaves me wanting more. Art is great and panels progress fluidly.

I really liked this one shot! The art was beautiful and I just like me some nice sexy tentacles. It's funny how an awful king gets tamed by his own inner demon, and somehow becomes known for all eternity as the immortal benevolent ruler of his kingdom. Very bittersweet, as his existence is both a blessing and a curse. I wish there was more.

Not Harada's best, I'm afraid. While the art is great, I didn't care for this plot, since both the abused and the abuser weren't sympathizable at all, and they both got what was coming to them, quite honestly. Nothing gripping about this tale. I also didn't like the drawing style here, but it goes well with this particular type of story. It uses ill-defined lines to make everything look a bit fuzzy, especially in the case of the protagonist, to add to his genderless quality, I suppose, but I personally am not a fan. Other aspects were drawn in great detail and used dark screen tones, hence it was a bit jarring to read.

Part of the "Immoral Sex" BL anthology, but out of the three stories which are currently translated, this, along with "Poison and Sex" and "Monster Throne," this is the weakest of the three. It is also the shortest and very rushed. The father lost his entire family except for his eldest son, who he believes is a result of God's curse. The son is inexplicably in love with the father and rapes him everyday. It doesn't go anywhere and there's no resolution or conclusion. Very lackluster. Even the smut was boring. Art was very simple and below average even for a BL.

Ugh, horrible. Pseudo-romance where woman wants to trick a man into impregnating her because she hates all men, and that's how she'll get revenge on them while also being able to bear a child that possesses good genes. Father of child is not even angry that he had been hoodwinked on purpose, and family of three end up living happily ever after. Art is awful, just like the story.

Not as good as other works from this author, but the art is nice and it's a short little read. The "story" isn't as imaginative as the ones from the Warrior's Adventure. It's better than most other yaoi stuff though.

Ugh, the art for this is horrible. The supposedly beautiful young miss that the main character is going to take care of honestly looks psychotic with her serial killer grin. Not sure if intentional or accidental, with how bad the art detailing is, and the full color palette. The gist of this promo is that an overworked young woman dies during her train ride back home, and winds up being isekai'd into a world of a webnovel where she's a maid of a villainess. Been there, done that. Not creative, not compelling. Unless they change the artist for this if it gets serialized, it's really nothing worth reading.
