Cross and Crime

Description

Tokano Yuuka has been going out with her boyfriend Yazaki Norikazu for a little over a year now but doesn’t get to see him everyday since he works in a different city as a newspaper reporter. Although they are apart, they love each other and things are going well. Norikazu gets an opportunity to interview Saeki Keito, the lead singer of the most popular band in Japan, Zero Sum Game, because they were good friends in high school. Being a fan of the band, Yuuka gets to tag along. However, Yuuka gets raped by members of the band while Keito distracts Norikazu elsewhere. It seems that Keito is infatuated with Norikazu and wants Yuuka out of the way. After the traumatic event, the relationship between the three becomes extremely complicated.

After looking at the raws...

Holy shit.

She actually ends up with, not the boyfriend at the beginning who was clearly in love with her, but the guy who had his band mates gang rape her. What. The. Fuck? I seriously think I just found the worst male & female lead in a story ever. I don't feel sorry for her. She and Keito are awful human beings.

offically junk, it ended people and you can already guess who she ended up with...
Some shoujo logic, sad attempt of a seinen plot and xrated art.
Do they even know who their target audience is.
HATSUKI Kyo added to mangaka's I should avoid.

"Sex Crime: The non-H Version"

by Criminal Intent
14 years ago

Rating: N/A

Basically it's a remake of this mangaka's other work "Sex Crime". If you hate stories where women are raped into submission and fall in love w/ their rapists then don't bother with this.

Although the one thing that separates this from it's predecessor is that the boyfriend actually has some backbone.

Subjective

If you can get past the rape (I don't particularly care about this, but a lot of people might) and the whole "It's borderline-H but not really" (I don't view it as actual hentai because the H scenes are too short and sparse), you arrive at a decent manga with an extremely dark subject. That might also be an issue in itself. There is no "good guy" - this manga will probably end with various crimes unpunished, and you will probably get mad at several of the characters, though many of their traits are entirely human. Even if you like dark subjects, you still might not like this. It's not particularly well-written, and it suffers from some of the porn-logic of actual hentai.

Rage Moments. Rawr!

I have to admit the plot is stupid, the characters' stupid but it's one of those mangas where I find it tolerable because of its art. Face it, there are other H/ Borderline H mangas with more nonsensical plots out there. Considering its genre, this is mediocre.

I love the art, love the sex scenes, love the hot guy with the mole (who cares what's his name is) and I love the girl's facial expression (Don't bother about her name) whenever she gets violated. [She looks tortured and traumatized..it's quite rare to find an H or Borderline H mangas with facial expressions like this!].

The reason why I give this manga an 8 is because I simply like the art. And I like the other manga the mangaka made Sex Crime, that's pretty good too. The art, I mean.

This one is from the artist of "Love Junkies". The artwork certainly is as good as you would expect. But in contrast to the aforementioned, this manga definitely is not for the soft-hearted kind. Right at the beginning the girl gets cruelly

violated by three guys and her boyfriend who is not far from the scene does not even notice.

Actually I enjoyed the opening, so much angst.

but after the read the RAW up to ch75 the story is TRSH.
the starring from ch 42, the story made me lol, so much double standar and logic-fantasy of author.

the girl get raped and abused, whenever the girl trying to fight, the man who want to rape her goes puppy mode, then the girl go kyun~

and yeah, after so many crime, everything is unpunished. the rapist get at ticket free life and bang the girl.

after ch.75 the rapist trying to be the victim due family issues,

A huge waste of time.

I've read and seen some pretty disturbing and messed up shit in my life, but never have I read something that made me shake my head so much. The heroine is...I have no words for her tbh lol. She is what she is...her boyfriend however is literally the biggest dumbass. Beware of the sheer amount of rape scenes in this one.

I winced every time the boyfriend got a scene especially when the

groupie starts to leech off of him. The people in this manga who did terrible things, will never get the share of the blame. If you're planning on reading this for the thrill of a male yandere, you'll quickly backtrack away from this hot mess. Probably the worse written yandere I've ever read tbh.

I understand that is under the netorare trope but even I've read better netorare than this crap. Because of the way this is written, I feel absolutely no sympathy for any of the characters. I felt apathetic at the scenes that were suppose to make me feel distressed. Such poor characterization is bound to get boring.

If you're reading this cause of the "dark twisted nature" of this you'll also probably leave in disgust. The plot is quickly thrown away over time and it just became shitty porn. If I wanted to read porn, I would have just read porn.

It's shoujo-ish when it comes to the way the story told

by AnimeWatcher06

Rating: N/A

I actually enjoy some hentai and borderline H that cointain "cheating-sex" scene, they tend to be hot for some reason. Sadly, this one is not one of them that I find enjoyable despite that. While I enjoy the sex scenes, the story in this manga delivered way too typical of a shoujo where an air-headed girl falls in love with the guy who threats her badly and leaves the "nice" boyfriend (who isn't that nice after a twist). I know it happens in real and some women actually secretly get aroused fantasizing being raped, but no I am not talking about what it is the manga try to deliver. But it's more about how they are delivered. Remove the sex scenes in this manga and change it with unexposed sexual abuse then you got another such a shoujo manga. Even the art style is kinda shoujo-ish for a seinen manga.

if you are a guy and want to read manga with such a premise (a girl falls in love with the rapist), go read System of Romance instead. Tho, it's just a oneshot, it delivers the story more manly than this one. Tho I only read until chapter 32 (the English translation so far) and some raw chapters, I can tell that this one is more for female than male reader. Well, it's written by a female author after all. If you are here for the sex scene tho, this one surely has some hot scenes if you are into rape stuffs. I am here only for the sex scene and try not to take the plot seriously. I even skip "BL" chapters, lol. But now, it's time to say good bye to this manga.
