Review: Hmmm…I don’t think I’ve read something so unabashedly slutty in a long time! And it’s bara. I don’t think I’ve reviewed any bara yet.

So I would like to say, as one who draws: never copy the anatomy from manga. Especially this manga. It’s bara, so one expects the pecs, but MAN. These guys are sporting eight-packs on their abdomens. That shit ain’t natural. And every guy in this is a beefcake, from doctor (hobby: martial arts) to store clerk (hobby: wrestling). At least it’s justified? It’s a genre kink, so even if it wasn’t justified, I wouldn’t hold it against them.

One of the great things about bara is that the men have pubic hair. This doesn’t seem like such a big deal until you’ve seen the naked dicks and hairless “men” in such series as Sensitive Pornograph. Uncomfortably bizarre. So bara, men looking like men. I’ll never complain about that. Ever. But again, bad proportioning is a different story.

But whatever, clearly this artist works very liberally. Aside from anatomy, paneling goes from confusing to downright nonexistent during sex scenes. Sex scenes! And there are a lot of them. A lot of very wet, very fantastical sex scenes. Every other page! And wet. THEY ARE SO WET. CUM EVERYWHERE. Including one page with a flowery stream of cum, reminiscent of The Swan Princess. (There’s a weird clash, ain’t it.)

Making the sex scenes (and thus the manga) even more confusing is the pointless penis-censoring. Really, why even bother? I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND. Is a penis really worse to see than any of the other graphic sex acts performed in this book? Really?

Those scenes…There are just lines everywhere, and some toning here and there… But does it really matter if we can see the specifics? …No, no I don’t think so. I think we can get the general idea of what’s going on. Asses. Asses everywhere.

I must also add, before I move on to the latter half of the book (which takes a surprising turn away from the pornography of the first half), that I really cannot resist a manga character with a goatee. Besides sideburns (and the occasionally muttonchop), I’m not very fond of facial hair (mustaches are RIGHT OUT). But man, something about a manga guy and a goatee just rubs me the right way.

/unnecessary personal tangent that you didn’t need to know

Taking a more romantic turn, we have a chapter about an emotionally clumsy movie star in love with a hapless baseball player in a high school setting. Even if this author has a hard time telling a coherent story (like, a REALLY hard time), it’s cute enough. Especially the baseball player. He looks like a cat! (Mee-yow?) Unfortunately, the baseball player is one of those characters that just doesn’t get it. Even I’m not so dense that I can’t realize what someone means when seal the phrase “I ONLY WANT YOU” with a kiss.

Well hey, at least his teammates are understanding of his romantic predicament.

Of course, the whole bit ends in a more traditional sex scene, by which I mean, the artist doesn’t try to fit 26 panels into a single page.
