All that is stereotypical and wrong in yaoi manga can be found in this one. The most girly and whining uke ever. It starts off of course with rape, but that continues too long without any consequences. It did have somewhat of a plot that could have led to something. But no, after 5 volumes it's the same old, same old thing. Instead of dealing with the issues presented they basically make everyone who meets Ayase fall in love with him. It goes nowhere and the humor added to it really doesn't fit the overall story.

I also think the art is very off putting and bothers me. To me it seems physically impossible for the main couple to even have sex given their size differences. If you must read it, read it for the semi-amusing side characters and sex, but that's the only reason I can think of to read it.

Ashamed to say I liked it...

This is one of those mangas that I'm ashamed to admit I enjoyed. I myself am truly surprised I didn't hate it since it has basically all the features I hate put together.

First of all it's true what they say, Ayase is too much of a girl for this to be proper yaoi. And I love a manly uke, not bara but a pretty-boyish type of masculinity. Ayase on the other hand is the girliest uke in the history of yaoi. Not only that, he looks like a child so reading the sex scenes really feels like shota, no more like lolicon...

On top of that Kanou is like this super seme; five times bigger, twice as tall, stronger, filthy rich (whereas Ayase is completely broke), practically invincible, super masculine playboy etc etc. I've never read a yaoi where the distinction between the uke and seme was this huge and there are lots that use the feminine uke/masculine seme stereotypes. It was pretty disturbing.

The other major issue is of course the fact that Kanou is a serial rapist. Now, I've read (and loved) Koisuru Boukun and heard similar accusations against Morinaga, but in that manga the uke was perfectly capable of protecting his own hide. Here however, as mentioned before, not only does Kanou practically own Ayase who's piss poor, but he's much bigger, stronger and a whole lot more violent. Poor Ayase! (in a lot of ways...)

Having said all that, I did read all the chapters scanlated so far. Why? Because it was entertaining. I may have been disgusted at it and disgusted at myself for reading it but from beginning till the end I was still thoroughly entertained... I've been trying to figure out what the appeal was since it's not like the plot was that superb either... Initially I think it was just because it's quite funny. The whole thing with the small animal owning guide for example was hilarious. It's more like the story's got great comedic value or maybe shock value or something... Anyway, the trick is not to look for anything too deep or meaningful in this manga cos you won't find it.

It's lowbrow but it'll keep you occupied if you've got time to kill. I don't regret reading it and I suggest you give it a try. You'll quickly find whether you'll hate it or like it...

Ugh, ugh. This manga was horrible. And in my opinion (and what most people have already said) the characters are the worst. Ayase is such a coward and weak and girly. Honestly if I wanted to read hetero-smut I would >.> but every time I read past one of his pathetic attempts to be strong I can't help but bang my head on the desk. True, he has been through a lot but the mangaka just exaggerated his "angelic-ness" so much (especially through the clothing) that I feel sick. Spared this from a 1 because I actually used to like it loooooong ago when I first started reading yaoi.

Hated it

I agree with all the criticisms people have said so far. When sensei was focusing on Kanou in the beginning of the series and his conflicts and struggles trying to express his feelings for Ayase and failing miserably (and being fully aware of it), I found the manga sweet and engaging. Again, when the transsexual (love him!) and the "how to tame wild animals" arc was introduced, I had high hopes, but it just switched to rape again. Once the focus switched to Ayase, it just became completely depressing.

It's sad, too, because one of the hottest scenes that I find in this series (and indeed, all of yaoidom, and that I still keep as wank material), is preceded by a scene that completely breaks my heart, when Ayase finally realizes just how bad his situation is, but of course, this is ignored in favor of sex/rape. It doesn't help, of course, that he is the worst kind of feminine stereotype that just accepts everything and never fights back. After reading 2 1/2 vols, I'm giving up on this series, especially after reading people's comments. I'd hoped it might get better and Ayase might grow a spine, but if he goes on to get raped by anyone who looks at him cross-eyed, it might as well be Boku no Sexual and be done with it.

The art was pretty in typical shoujo style, but people are right, sex just became ridiculous when Kanou is 4-5 times Ayase's size. It also squicked me, considering Ayase is supposed to be a "college student", but the way the art is drawn, it looks like a 30-something man raping a 12-yr-old child.

Don't understand why it became a classic

by HanaChou

As I have stated above, it really is a mystery for me. Ayase is supposed to love Kaoru, because this is a yaoi, that's the outcome everyone expects, but I can't see how the author could unravel all the knots they have tied in the plot. The nature of their realationship is not romantic at all, and with the way Kaoru treats Ayase like a cum dumpster and seems to have problems controlling his emotions when it comes to Ayase, any streak of romance between these two will be really force and clearly just for the sake of "the yaoi". The two keep running around in circle, with misunderstanding stemming from not willing to properly communicate. Kaoru is sweet once in a while so that Ayase's falling in love with him will somehow be believable (for the sake of "the yaoi"), but overall he treats the poor boy (who looks like a 15 year old girl) with no respect, no love, no nothing. Can't even imagine a love blossoming from their messed-up behaviours, unless it's from Stockholm syndrome, which is again not rare in yaoi, but in here it spans on for who knows how many volumes, with no clear, pivotal turning point (yet)

The characters' body proportion (mostly Ayase vs everyone else) is ridiculous. They are your typical "shoujo manga replica" girly uke + manly seme combo pushed to the extreme. I must admit I have a soft spot for gothic lolita fashion so the random gothic lolita fanservice is pretty pleasing, but that's about it. The sex looks like it's between a man and a woman, and it doesn't help that Ayase looks so much like a girl with his invisible penis. I have a feeling the author just draws this with the framework of a shoujo manga in mind, and make the "female lead" a boy to spice things up a little, but still don't want to stray from your formulaic heteronormative relationship (which is a problem with a lot of yaoi mangas, even the more recent ones).

I give it two stars for the gothic lolita fanservice.

Don't take the whole manga seriously

After going through the first two volume alone, I felt like I needed an ice bag. It pained me to read this manga. I can't understand why I even decided to read through a volume and a half. I guess the hope that I'd get something better out of it by reading it was too strong.

I can't speak for the manga as a whole, but I can give you something as close to an observation and inference as it can get.

I found the characters- MC, love interest, and all the other characters interesting. That is, if they're not going through the story proper- like omakes and side stories. Their personalities are interesting. It pains me to read them in the story though.

In an omake, their exaggerated actions, interaction and responses is forgivable. In the story itself, it is beyond unforgivable.

I think this is why there are people who seem to hate the manga. The main characters' personalities -Kanou being too masculine and Ayase being too wimpy, girly and clueless to the point of asking for saving grace- are too exaggerated for us. It's like there's no space for common sense to be in the picture. They aren't human enough for us.

It's sad to think that it's bad. This manga is too misunderstood, but I'm too pained by it to even take the time to understand it.

The only thing one can do is to not take the whole manga seriously. You'll hate the manga if you do.

this manga has alot of hype. but it is just horrible. there way to much rape. the uke looks like a ten year old girl. the story drags on and it makes you feel like a pedophile just for reading. That being said the side story Henshin Dekinai is very much worth reading. it has nothing to do with these loathsome seme and uke. but rather being o.k with your self and your sexuality.

Crap

by Shailley

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

I don't recommend it. I couldn't stand the possesive lover in it. He clean pissed me off. Mostly because he had the bright idea that if he raped the uke the uke would love him. (I saw the reverse attempt of this trick in another manga, the seme tried to make the uke hate him, and failed when the uke admited he loved him. So if anyone wants to complain about how some mangas aren't realistic, I suggest over looking this factor again!) Anyway, back to the subject. I hated it. It was repetitive and the characters were mental retards. Ayase could have called the police. (Don't give me some crap about how he loved Kanou (or whatever his name was) 'cos I don't believe that.) The buying and selling of humans in most countries is illegal and so is rape!

Ayase was such a girl. This wasn't even yaoi, that's how much of a girl he was.

Alright. I normally HATE it when the uke is as defenseless and spineless as Ayase, but considering Okane ga Nai was one of my first yaoi loves and I fell in love with little Ayase immediately, I find this series to be very addicting. I really do hate Kanou most of the time for his horrible treatment toward Ayase and get awfully annoyed with Ayase for being so passive, but I like how Ayase is so kind. I really feel sorry for him and love the sweeter side of his. He does not hate Kanou for everything he has done, which is something only someone really good-hearted could do, and he sees that Kanou can also be a bit caring every once in a while. I wish he could fight back even a little, for Pete's sake, but if you get past his rather frail and wimpy traits, you see he really is a good kid and has lived a hard life. He still can be positive after everything that has happened to him, which is an accomplishment and shows how strong he really is (in a way). But I really do find it hard to like Kanou. At all. I guess I still love the manga not only because of Ayase, but because Kanou would do anything for Ayase (except be nice). It is as if Kanou can be a complete d!ck to Ayase and hurt him all the time, but the second anyone else tries to even touch the kid he is dead. Kanou would give his life for Ayase, so I suppose I see something cute and intriguing in that. But no matter what, I cannot help how much I love Ayase. I seriously just want Kanou to be (even a bit) nicer, less aggressive, and more understanding of Ayase, as well as Ayase to be happy. Poor thing. =[ I do believe that he does like Kanou and mostly enjoys the sex they have like addicted2u said, but I think Kanou needs to listen more to Ayase and stop making him do things that only humiliate him. For example, he makes him take a video of his lower area while being played with, something I would have been furious and appalled by. He also gives him a blow job while Yamato is on the other side of the door, which is just plain mean. He needs to stop going over the top with his angry/hurt feelings and taking them out on Ayase by nastily teasing him like that.

faaaar to girlish

The starting idea is promising, as are the fist volumes. Kanou is a strong, violent determined loan-shark who has absolutely no idea how to handle Ayase (this is the funny part) and wants to keep ayase close to him at all costs. Ok so far. As long as the story focuses on Kanou and his actions the story was quite nice. But once the interest shifts to Ayase and his emotions, it gets annoying. He's way too naive, more feminine than a girl would be, and everybody seems to want to f**k him (I’m not kidding; it's like 1-2 attentive rapes per volume).
You can see kanou trying to change to adapt to ayase's needs (he tries, but doesn't always succeed), but ayase doesn't evolve as a character. He just complys himself with his status innocent helpless little victim (not just kanou's victim).
Ok, I got the fact that this is yaoi with a veeeeeeeeery strong shojo influence, but how many time must we see the same "damsel in distress act"?

All in all, it started out interesting, but it has no plot development, and no relationship development, at least not in vol 3-6.
