otakulys's manga / #multiple stories(37)

Golly, mister! You didn't have to have a bunch of guys gang rape me to show you liked me! Next time, just ask me out! Tee hee!

I knew what to expect, and I read it anyway. Now I'm ugly crying and trying not to sob. This is such a beautiful, tragic story. They just loved each other so much. The back and forth from when their lives were happy and their futures were ahead of them just made it all that much more painful. I just hope there's a heaven for things like this. In a fictional world, we can decide for ourselves that they're together again in death.

Very sad. Beautiful art, complicated human emotions. Reading the comments made me think I should skip this, but it ended up being painful in a satisfying way, rather than in a way that destroyed me. I actually preferred the complicated, messy story to the first story. I'm not a fan of incest, for one, but it was also just more typical and cliche than the second story. Didn't hate it, though. I haven't read the precursor manga, so I was sort of filling in the blanks as I went, but I appreciated the nature of the character unfurling, these people lashing out, hurting others so that they can feel your own hurt, etc. Definitely sad, and it leaves a little empty feeling in your gut, but... I've seen much worse. At least they're still trying. (Just from this, though, I wish Sato would dump Akira and find someone better. He's the only one who doesn't seem redeemable, but maybe he's featured in the first story?)

What the... Okay, I know I've read the first story elsewhere, but I don't remember it having that ending. I also don't entirely get what it was talking about. Is the other guy a doppelganger? Is he a triplet? Is he a manifestation of the other half of one of the brothers? Either way, so weird and random. It had potential, but it was just too brief and all over the place. I have no problem with dark, gory, or disturbing, but that was just weird. The second story was weird and kind of gross. There was some serious dissonance between the two, like they weren't done by the same person. Is that the case? I need to look. Anyway, this is a fucked up collection, and I'm afraid of what to expect if more stories beyond the two get uploaded. What even...

Stories like this really frustrate me, because there's so much potential, and it's all thrown away for some simple rape to love. I was really hoping the second story would just end after the first part, focusing on the messed up relationship they had that would mean they could never be together. It's better than what it was, and seeing the uke drop to his knees like that really grossed me out after what that jerk did to him. Being "in love" doesn't give you a free pass to hurt someone. The first story, I found the uke interesting but the seme boring. However, the art is so pretty, and I did enjoy elements of both stories, even if the way they wrapped up annoyed me, so I gave it four stars instead of the two it would probably get based on those endings alone. Also, I love the guy painting the house, totally like, "Ah, I see you're in chains. That's nice."

A little rushed at times, but ultimately sweet. I feel like the second story would have benefited by being a full novel, where the friendship is explored and deepened. As is, it's like a snapshot of something he saw happen, the end. He hints at wanting change, but nothing changes. At any rate, not a bad read. I feel like I've read it before, but it must have been a while ago, since it was just vague recollections.

The first story was really sweet (love the supportive friend!) but it felt very unfinished. There were hints of things that never came up. Like I thought he'd find the photo he took of him sleeping and realize he'd been pining from the start. I also thought something was up with the guy he was assisting, but that went nowhere and was never mentioned again. Regardless, it was a sweet little one shot, so hey. The second story was sad but interesting. I liked the open ending, because I think on the one hand he's taking control and freeing himself, but on the other hand, he's letting go of more than just the bad. Anyway, only two stories here so far, but they were good. ^^

Lol. I mean, at least they're short and sweet. I do like mimic stuff, and a fourth person with the three. I like how melodramatic the straw was. That plastic is sturdy, I tell ya! I actually had that happen sort of, where the car jerked forward when I was younger, and the straw stabbed the roof of my mouth. It hurt and even bled, but miraculously did not jam its way through my brain and out of my skull.

Aw, that was cute and simple. I don't get why so many people were hating on the first couple, though. I thought it was typical BL fluff. Sweet, nothing groundbreaking, but certainly not crap. At any rate, everything was rushed, and the weird mind games and miscommunication annoyed me, but the boys are beautiful, and I wish I could see more of their lives now that they're being honest with each other. And the older brother, what's that guy's deal? At least he's a decent wingman, I guess?

Damn, I want it to be longer! There were things I didn't love about this, but it's so unique and complex. I just wanted it to keep going. There wasn't enough room here to do what could have been done. As far as oneshots go, it was a solid approach to the whole thing, making it a story he was telling. I just wish there'd bee more. :( Noooo!! My heart! The second story was really touching and sweet and deeply sad. I hate that we're left here, knowing that inevitably they're doomed. I mean, they're kind of doomed already, right? Either way, I wish we got more stuff like this, only with happier endings. x_x
