otakulys's manga / #past heartbreak(2)

Hmmm... Interesting so far. I need more chapters to get a better feel, so it's a four for now, but could go either way. Only one chapter at the moment. It's got a concept I'd like to see more often in yaoi, overcoming homophobia and what not. But how it unfolds is tricky. We'll see. EDIT: Five stars for going much better than I thought it might! I need to read it again from the start, after these few chapters, but it's such a sweet, touching story. Sad, too, but in the right ways. I also like that it wasn't some random dude who wouldn't take a hint. I was worried that was the case, so I'm glad it ended up being more complicated between them. I really wish there were more stories like this. I love the whole overcoming homophobia thing, the fear and the bravery and the growth. This was a great read, and I love the twist with Matsuri. I hope he gets some love soon! Maybe in an extra chapter or something. He deserves his own manga.

Wow, despite the creepy premise, this was honestly not as bad as I thought it was gonna be. I'm not satisfied at all with how they handled the fact that this was all due to his unsuccessful attempt to rape the guy's friend, but honestly, the fact that they acknowledged it as being wrong at all is a big step in yaoiland. I love that there was that friendship between the two omegas, and I wish more yaoi focused on friendship like that, especially omegaverse which seems very set on alienating the uke especially. Not a perfect story, maybe not even a good one, but I enjoyed it despite its flaws. I like how hard the alpha works to earn the omega's love, and even in the end, he doesn't insist they come together until the omega is ready, if he ever is. That's honestly pretty sweet for omegaverse.
