I've read this manga title 'The Summit' sometime ago and was not too intrigued by the story but the artwork however was astounding, so I decided to try my hand at vectoring a few of the characters. This is truly a challenge and a great way to learn, there are many different variations of lines to work with and I could learn how to extend the ( Read more... )

I finally got the time to indulge/read this story and I'm putting it and the prequel into my favorites list. I really enjoyed the mature/realistic theme throughout both mangas but surprisingly more so with this story. I thought that the author did a really great job in portraying the trials and tribulation that one faces in/throughout a ( Read more... )

I don’t know how I managed to miss this one but as the saying goes, better late than never. I think I’ve fallen in love with Mizushiro Setona writing style; it’s just so refreshing/original and was quite eccentric. I found it very intriguing how she created the two protagonists with a lot of flaws which I grew to appreciate throughout the story ( Read more... )

typical mundane yaoi mangas where the 'uke' acts way too feminine even more so than a female and his figure resembles one (why not just make him a chick with a dick if that's the case because he certainly acts like one). Pretty annoyed with these overly sensitive 'uke' all teary eyed just at the touch of the 'seme' and the meaningless sex without ( Read more... )

When it comes to yaoi OVA’s, I must admit that ‘Sensitive Phonograph’ is without a doubt the trophy holder in the non censorship department and I guess (pretty certain) that we’ll never see any new yaoi material that is remotely like it, not ever! I just recently watched ‘Tight Rope OVA’s’ and I honestly can’t say that I enjoyed it (even though the ( Read more... )

I also like that her characters are never lacking in dynamism. There’s always growth and there was a lot of that in this manga which is precisely why I enjoyed it so much. No matter how frustrating it was for me to try and understand the mindset of two rather unnerving characters (Atori / Tooru) I still held hope for them and thank goodness it was ( Read more... )

When it comes to yaoi, I like the seme to be somewhat sadistic because I find the whole S&M and bondage thing intriguing ONLY in the comic world. I’ll never watch the real thing, (hypocritical I know). Age is also very important (I just don’t condone teens or worse, minors in adult situations). His personality should be mature, mysterious and a bit ( Read more... )

I had to reflect on this because I haven't read anything this compelling/refreshing in a while. Though I must admit that after I initially read the summery for it I wasn't expecting much but boy was I ever surprised by the turning events/plot twist. The characters were so intriguing especially Kai, he had an air of mystery around him and I couldn't ( Read more... )
