Gravitation Remixes
I just downloaded all twelve or so of the Gravitation Remix dojinshis. I've wanted to read these for the past few years, but I've never really gotten around to it. I'm currently in the middle of my third one (I'm not reading them in any particular order), and so far... well, they weren't quite what I was expecting.
First of all, the Yuki/Tatsuha one rather surprised me. I wasn't expecting Yuki to be the uke, and I was completely shocked when things took a turn for the violent. Tatsuha may be kinda creepy at times, certainly a fanboy to the extreme, but I wouldn't have pegged him for a rapist. I couldn't even finish that one. It had knives in places they shouldn't be.
Hiro/Shuichi: This one followed slightly the same formula as the first- somebody gets seduced and then dubcon ensues. I thought Hiro was way OOC- I just don't think he would ever treat Shuichi like that, especially in bed. Shuichi was very much himself the whole time, however. Luckily, this one wasn't nearly as rapey as the first.
Tatsuha/Riuchi: This was just plain confusing. I couldn't tell whether they had actually slept together or if it was all in Tatsuha's mind until toward the end, and even then I was confused as to how many times they had done it. I suppose the ending was clever, if rather disturbing. Let's just say that in this one, everybody gets to be a rapist. Yay! Also, I'm getting the impression that Tatsuha is just going to be evil from now on.
Yuki/Shuichi: I actually found this one to be rather sweet; or at least as sweet as these two get. Strangely enough, it culminated in a foursome between Shuichi, Hiro, K, and Tatsuha, which I suppose was kind of hot. In a weird, dubcon sort of way.
Tachi/Ma-kun: Yeah, I stopped reading as soon as the water sports showed up. Ew, no thanks. Also, is every single one of these dubcon? I'm not going to get a single one where both parties are enjoying themselves fully, am I? Nope, I don't think I am. Obviously, I've been a naughty girl this year.
Goddamnit. Murakami, I love your work, but please stick to writing crack-filled fluff from now on, okay? I certainly wouldn't be adverse to a little sex, as long as it's actually fluff, and not whatever this kinky shit is.
