ANIMAL X - Manga review
I've never seen this manga or heard anything about it till I stumbled up on it on my tablet this morning. (When my PC started playing up >_<) it was actualy under the Yaoi Genre tab... which is a little problem... but tbh, I dont care, I might have missed this manga if it wasnt and omg I'm so happy I found it!
Q: So is it Straight?
A: Ah... kiiiind of?
Q: So it's Yaoi?
A: Err... umm... not really… maybe?
Q: So what's good about it :S
A: The strange thought of Mpreg! ^_^
So what am I on about?... Well, the main chara in the story, Yuuji, starts of being a bit of a geek, he's a bit pathetic. and he gets attacked in his room by a younger guy, Minato, who then tries to rape him. It turns out that Minato is a monster, and thinks Yuuji is too so drags him off to his clan. Minato starts out being a bit of a twat, but he turns out OK and a likable chara. Meanwhile, it turns out that Yuuji is actually a hermaphrodite, but his dominant side is mail, but because of some science experimentation, they restore his female side. But through the entire story, they keep his as male (which I actually liked a lot)... So anyhow, Yuuji does end up pregnant, but I cant say how or why, cos you have to read this ^_^
So anyhow... READ it! I couldnt stop reading this, even though I should be tidying up for new-year ^_^... I havent really started the 3rd installment yet, (cos I fixed-ish my PC and had to gush!) But this manga is full of thrills and spills and some hard hitting emotional crap (that they sadly gloss over to easily) But at the guts of this story it has the magic word for me... Mpreg... well it's not really, cos Yuuji is a hermaphrodite with female bits. but again, they keep his main frame and look as male, which quite frankly is ok for me ^_^
The artwork is a little dodgy and a little dated, but as usual, the story more than makes up for it, and the artwork does get better ^_^

PS: Err... I havent finished part 3... why? cos I couldnt take it anymore O_O... When you want to hunt the main chara down and kick the crap out of Yuuji while giving Minato a tight hug and a safe place to stay. you know you have to stop reading or throw your tablet at the wall... and I wasnt going to do that... so I'll get back to it later I'm sure... err... maybe.
Still the first 2 parts are still really good ^_^
