Enough said. Unlike a regular manga that spread a plot over several chapters, the mangaka managed to do so in 11 pages and still make it plausible. You know what motivated the protagonist to do what he does and you are shown how he is going to achieve it. All that's left is the conclusion of his play but that's left up to your imagination, and that's why it makes this one shot so good and yet so... painful.

for such a short oneshot, it hold a lot of meanings and feelings. first, the characters. they have motivations and reasons for all their actions, they don't do things 'just because'. the protagonist, act, he don't react. he is cruel because people had been cruel to him. the uke is the usual innocent one, but his innocence is actually believable - someone who live separated from anyone, he is like a blank slate that anyone can paint him their own colour. it's unfortunate for him that it will be his twisted older brother. the storyline is good, with the ending something very interesting. the art, is of course, very nice.

really, a great oneshot for anyone want a very quick fix.

Well, that was certainly *different*, but I didn't think it was anything to write home about, personally. There isn't really motivation from a realistic perspective. It was also very awkward to read and not even remotely "hot". More like it reminded me somehow of the movie "gummo". Very strange.

.. how to make of this one-shot. It certainly is unconventional, no doubt, though to call it amazing would need a whole lot more debate. I think in the meantime I'll hang it there for now, it feels like I haven't devoted enough time to thoroughly comprehend it. But hey at least there's smut haha.

Oh wow, I wasn't expecting this. So unique, refreshing... dark, but not dark just for the sake of being dark-- there is plot, it all makes sense... and in just 11 pages, wow. The characters are original, interesting, believable. We have a dark, manly seme and innocent, naive uke-- but this isn't what you think. Just give it a try, you will be surprised.
