Kami-sama no Ude no Naka

Description

Series of stories revolving around dormitory boys in a all-boys catholic school.

Studying in a rigid public school, it's the season for emotional teens. Too pure to be called romance, these young men conceal this feeling underneath their uniforms: A boy with stigmata on his body, a displaced son of a noble family and his Asian servant, and a kind priest.

I really liked this series. It was a little different from the usual Yonezou work as this one a plot and it played a big part. Not the smut that is usually there. It was good read. I'm enjoying it. The Muslim Character threw me off a little. I had a good laugh from it. ;D. But all in all I'm loving it.

Great Mangaka, Cliché Story

I'm quite a fan of Nekota Yonezou, but In God's Arms is a little disappointing in comparison to her other pieces of work. You'll find that this series is full of her usual, delicious artistic style but hindered by the over-used, cliché story lines.

The story follows a group of boys enrolled in a very strict, all-boys private Catholic school and that's where the trouble begins. As well you all know, if you're in an all-boy's school (especially a dormitory), you're going to have some gay fun. That's a passable cliché. Things start getting downright ridiculous when one character is inflicted with stigmata (wounds and/or pain resembling those suffered by Jesus during the crucifixion.) Of course; we have a gay priest, overzealous leaders and spoilt rich-kids.

If you happen to be of the religious-fantasy type, this is your kind of story. The characters (one or two of them...) are struggling not only with family issues but the issue of their homosexuality and its religious repercussions. Sounds like an interesting storyline, right? Well, it could have been. The problem is that In God's Arms just never seems to get there. Nekota seems to happily scribble away her clichés - religious guilt, sex in the church, sex with minors, gay priests... There's so much to work with, but no real depth goes into any of it.

For those of you who like these themes, you will definitely love this series. But for the rest of us, you're in for quite a shallow and unnecessarily melodramatic read. Take your time to enjoy the wonderful art and try not to let the story annoy you too much.

just great

I thought this would just be like all the other stuff Nekota has, cute, sexy and a little plotless but i think this is just gold. Sure there isn't a grand plot or scheme of things, but I think many of her stories are just really meaningful, I liked many of the couples.

And make sure you give vol2 ch2 a read... I loved it, that was my favorite chapter ;o;

I really have a thing for master/servant relationships and this matches my exact kink! X3;;

I'd love it if Obsession could finish the series, but it looks like it's on hiatus...

REALLY GOOD! The story line is very well written and all the characters are linked one way or another. Too bad the scanlations team stopped scanlating it --;;

From the description, it sounds like hotbed of lust and depravity. But the second storyline with Won and Shio was actually really sweet and had an engaging storyline. The extras are funny, too.

Pervy, but charming

Most titles by Nekota Yonezou are very dirty and erotic, but something really draws readers in, not just because of her pretty art, but because of a certain charm she has with characters. Kamisama no Ude no Naka de is my favorite manga by her, with short stories ranging from all different types of couples that are extremely lovable.
