Disappointing.
Some might call me a sicko but I do occasionally enjoy shouta when done differently and done well. This was not one of them. The ukes are just little girls with peepees. Yes, I used that word. Peepee.
Anyways...the premise sounded hot and I jumped into this knowing I wouldn't be getting anything deep because, hey, it's shouta with smut. Yeah...um, as I said, disappointing.
1st & 2nd Story-- the uke was just...facepalm. This could have worked if done well, if the mangaka did something different, if the uke wasn't just some little...geh...Yes, there are ukes(like in shouta) who look really fem but come on. It's like the mangaka wasn't even trying.
Just some elementary/middle schooler girl(complete with tiny breasts) and something that resembles a peepee in between her legs. We can't be too sure since it is censored so maybe she just has really fat lips if you get my drift.
The seme/s don't even look like they're enjoying it. They're just smirking/frowning while they bang the crap out of the uke who BTW is just laying there and taking it, crying and blushing and whatnot.
Tell me this isn't a girl: http://manga.animea.net/himitsu-no-kemonotachi-chapter-2-page-2.html
I've read (and actually loved SOME) PWPs before but this was just...as one reviewer said, a waste of time.
3rd Story-- This story's premise was what helped me decide to read this. It's the kind of premise I usually like seeing in shouta because there's no so-called love involved. Just sexual(kinky) explorations.
It was pretty much a let down. Again, it's the usual 'uke just lies there and takes it'. AND then there's the added 'oh noes, it hurts but I love him' crap. I read shouta for the smut sometimes, I'm not reading it for romance because no matter how low my moral standards go with respect to the yaoiverse, my mind just won't process pre-pubescent kids fucking because they love the person.
I find the allure of shouta(for me) founded on the sexiness of innocent coming together with naughty/dirty. Basically, this just sucked.
4th Story-- another shouta with true love. This story, I just found it strangely disturbing. I'd rather they would've just given me the sex without trying to force feed me this 'true love' BS.
...and the sex scenes were just lame-O...I flipped through them without batting an eyelash.
5th Story-- One word. Boring. Like seriously.
6th Story-- I jumped into this with low expectations. I ended up overestimating this. I give up. Another uke who's just another girl with tiny boobs and some really weird deformity between her legs. For crying out loud, the uke's wearing heels and a corset! And it's not even crossdressing! aselkrtjweorfhwek
