Kawaii Akuma

Description

Akiyoshi Tooru is the perfect student with glasses. Unfortunately, he’s always been told that he was 'cute' and 'pretty' which forced him to develop an inferiority complex as a young man. The very same Akiyoshi received a confession from a boy of rare beauty, Naruse Fuuta. Of course, Akiyoshi rejected the confession from another man. However, Naruse lost it, underwent a complete change of attitude, and attacked him! Now knowing the fearsome nature of Naruse, what fate awaits the fleeing Akiyoshi?!

It's crack!

by jarta
15 years ago

Rating: N/A

I have read a lot of yaoi and there's a lot of yaoi types and variety out there but this would be my first time to review a yaoi manga, so bear with me.

One of the reason's I decided to do this because I see some negative reviews here and I was pretty amused with them. Plots and character developments are good. But others seem to fail to recognize that this story is actually mostly crack. ___ And yes, I've always have one reaction to this kind of stories and that is *All hail crack!" snicker snort snicker
For people who would be planning to read this, never take this story seriously and feel free to make fun of the characters.
The art, well I've always been a fan of unique art and I find it really pretty. ______

Yes, I know, I suck at reviewing since I can't describe much what I feel about this manga except that I find the story hilarious and the art pretty. It's definitely a good read!

Madarame Hiro-sensei as I noticed seemed to be fond of unusual characters and pairings so yeah. I can say I'm now officially a fan of this manga-ka! 😀

As Close to Perfect As Yaoi Can Get

by voraciouszest

Rating: 9.7 / 10.0

I'll admit forthright that this review is definitely going to feature some bias. I started reading Madarame Hiro's work not one month ago, and I'm already a die-hard fan.
I read Scarlet first, and although I very much enjoyed it, Kawaii Akuma came out as the favourite. By a mere fraction, though.
For those who are waiting for the scanlated releases, it's well worth the wait. Madarame Hiro not only paints a gorgeous story, but the artwork accompanying her stories are delicious, delectable and completely indulgent. Quite frankly, I'd buy her next comic even if it were filled with gibberish and pretty pictures.
Kawaii Akuma features Akiyoshi, a prideful and stubborn young man whose masculinity complex leads him to reject the offer of friendship Fuu-chan comes to him with. Fuu-chan, or Naruse Fuuta, looks like an angel. But he is all devil inside. Having been rejected, Fuu-chan sheds his angelic mask and aggressively pursues Akiyoshi.
It's a bit of a typical storyline. You can't really escape those when you read Yaoi. Therefore, it's always best to look out for a mangaka who can present the same broad storyline in a new way. Madarame does this very well. Blended with elements of comedy and drama, Kawaii Akuma is a refreshing take on the 'little devil' story. Akiyoshi's struggle to escape Naruse's clutches takes interesting turns as their relationship develops.

In any case, Kawaii Akuma definitely deserves a spot on your wishlist. Whether you appreciate the art, or the story (or happen to enjoy it all), there is something for everyone. Brilliant and beautiful.

Art reminiscent of Watanabe Asia

by adalee88
15 years ago

Rating: N/A

I had difficulty liking the art at first too, but ended up liking it a lot towards the end. As with Watanabe sensei's art, most of it is focused on line drawings with substantial emphasis on the eyes and lips for the "pretty" panels, and more simple shapes (ie circles, triangles and hair-on-end) for the "funny" panels. I find the contrast amusing, bc it gives the characters more dimension. they aren't ONLY pretty boys, but boys with multifaceted personalities and insecurities, regardless of their outward appearance.

As for the 2ndary characters, esp the supposed bodyguard w the heart of gold, I would definitely liked to have seen some smexy development of his storyline!

All in all, I enjoyed the story, it was less trite than some other yaoi titles, and is worth your time if you enjoy line art. At any rate, it left a smile on my face 🙂

Amusing

by starish6

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

Yep, that's about all it was. Amusing. The reason being is that I'm a huge sadist and I like people who are sadists. (a.k.a. Naruse) Sadists are funny. Everything about Naruse is creepy: his eyelashes, his lips, the way he talks...and his personality.
I mean, look at this: I bawled from laughter!
It's an awesome way to get someone to listen to you...Maybe I should try it....

Anyway, this is a manga for people who like creepy ukes - I mean, semes...No, what I really meant was...creepy semes that look like ukes!

*speechless*

Gotta be honest. It'll annoy you plenty of times. Every criticism thrown at this manga, or most of it anyway, it's true. But like everyone rating this, you will read it all and will have the intense urge to read it all. It's true that the paneling is messy, and the author likes for everyone to say something, so the panels are plenty of times littered with little boxes and dialogue. You can choose to just skim over it, because ultimately it's just that, background people talking a lot, but you will have the urge to read it all. That's the thing with this manga. I think that's the reason it's so famous, and why it has such mixed reviews.

It's not cliché at all, and it deals with a good does of dub-con, though I would never consider rape as a theme, given that Akiyoshi is always clearly in denial. He himself pretends to dislike Fuuta, but the moment Fuuta turns around Akiyoshi is pouty. There are panels showing him mooning or pouting over Fuuta, but he thinks it's not like that. Fuuta is rough, but it's never nothing I don't expect from MEN handling each other. Everytime they are not having sex they have pretty intense conversations, with Akiyoshi pretending to be all annoyed about them.

Is it a manga about love? Who knows, but I personally know it's the kind of manga that will make you despair, facepalm, piss yourself laughing and gasp in suspense. It may have a lot of flaws, but even those flaws are handled in ways you hadn't read in other manga. So I could say that even in the bad, it does remarkably. You might not like it that much at the end, but it will sure leave you an impression. And when you read other manga and find stuff you don't quite like, you will remember Kawaii and Itoshii Akuma and how better they did at the bad, if that makes any sense 😛

Overrated and underrated here Imo

by kurosu_yuuki

Rating: 7.3 / 10.0

It started with positive points because it surprised me. I'd never expect Naruse to be the seme! I though he was those kinds of seductive ukes, but that's all. Now that I think about it, though, I can't see Akiyoshi as the seme, hehe...he's just so uptight!

Anyways, there’s this whole rape controversy. I, for one, am guilty about the matter, because I'm a big fan of dub-con, so I like it just they way it is...It's kinda sexier when the uke's reluctant, rather then when he's like "do it more". So, for me, it's not a you-raped-me-so-I-love-you kinda manga. Akiyoshi didn't fall for Naruse right away. At first, he didn't give Naruse full consent, but yes, he could've fought it if he wanted, he just didn't. It’s not rape, it’s just dubious, because, as he said himself, he “felt it”. It's possible that someone would feel pleasure even denying it, especially because Naruse prepared him and made sure he was enjoying it.

Well, the characters themselves aren’t very complex, but they serve their purpose.
Naruse is just a deceiver on the highest level of it all! He really entertained me, down to his appearance to his personality! And even the fact that he gets things quickly, he's not slow at all. Oh, and his appearance? I hate when the seme's more feminine than the uke, but after chapter 04, Naruse turned out to be just PERFECT! The kind of dreamy seme I love.

What really makes me love Madarame-sensei is how well drawn the sex scenes are. It’s not like they’re just beautiful, but the expressions on the characters’ faces are so full of pleasure, it’s amazing! And… God.Damn.It. That was the sexiest masturbation scene EVER!
Even the details, such as Naruse kissing that host - I was sooo shocked! But it was good, you know? I like when the seme makes the uke feels conscious about his feelings.

Then, towards the ending, the problems started. The plot never changed nor developed, it just stared the same.
But I have more complaints:

They were taken as a couple (Naruse even announced it) before Akiyoshi acknowledged his feelings - actually, that part was never even revealed, like there was no need for him to feel anything, or at least to tell his partner.
The ending itself felt unfulfilling. After all they've gone through, I thought they would have to suffer a little before they could be together as a couple, but it didn't happen. They just got there, as if all the hate from before meant nothing. I was a little disappointed, frankly. And how could it freaking end with a joke, after all Akiyoshi’s thinking, such deep things about his love?! Isn't he gonna confess?! He says "what are you laughing about? This should be touching scene", and that’s exactly how I felt. That scene pissed the hell out of me...or I guess I just hate comedy.

In my opinion, whoever wants to read this has to be careful with other’s reviews. I think people exaggerate. The “1”s here are out of line – it didn’t suck, I’ve seen way worse. But the “10”s aren’t honest either, because there were issues in this manga that were completely abandoned by the author, which didn’t quite do it for me because I expect some degree of seriousness. So it was enjoyable okay to read, but not sightlessly remarkable. I can sum “Kawaii Akuma” up with: read it, you won't regret it, but don’t expect wanting to re-read it in the future - which is also why I don't understand how it's so popular in the yaoi fandom...

I'm between liking it and disliking. It was kind of funny how extreme the characters' personalities were. And their appearances, I can't even begin to describe odd uke and seme relationship. Read once. Came back a second time a couple of months later because it was difficult to forget the quirks in this manga.

my gawd it's so funny~! At first when you look at first chapter you'd probably think "urgh-another girly uke and blah blah blah" but i'll tell it's not the uke thats the

the uke is the seme you may think it's gonna look werid but, it's not. It dosen't show the s*** scenes until a few chapters later. first FINISH the first chapter (I mean FINISH it through the end) then decide if you want to continue reading it. I'm soo glad I finished the first chapter...give it a try 🙂
haha the story pretty unique it's a lot diffrent from most mangas and the art is sooo pretty.

Interesting so far.

by Poemi

The uke-seme relationship is slightly different than usual in this story - it's the serious megane-type vs the rare devilish extreme-pretty-boy-type. The character development is nice and slow so far, which is fine because the first volume hasn't been completed. I'm curious to see where this will go...Fuu-chan is a bit of a mystery at this point.
