This mangaka has a talent: She has taken a type of yaoi (cutesy, comedic and light) that doesn't appeal to me and dazzled me! It was more than just sex, sex and more sex.
The Story:
There was a plot, a simple one albeit, but it was there and that is important to me. She covered a very basic theme but it wasn't boring; rather, it was done in a way that affected me. Everyone wants to be loved for WHO they are, not who the other person fantasizes them to be. (Although fantasy play acting sure was fun in this fetish story!)
I even got all watery-eyed when Cat-Boy was heart broken, thinking that he was only wanted for his 'cat' persona. The ending was touchingly sweet without be over-the-top gagging in saccharine.
I love the line where the seme is touched that Cat-boy doesn't ask anything from him. That one sentence speaks volumes about the Seme's motivations and personality formation. Cat-boy is just full of tender innocence. (But he DOES accept prostitution easily. . .hmmm. Was that denseness on his part? LOL.)
The Art:
I love the art scenes with the two of them snuggled up on the bed! Awww. The sex progression was HAWT. I loved it. My only complaint with the entire manga was two items about the art. 1. The seme's face was too expressionless and 2. the uke was distractingly and disturbingly anoerix-like skinny.
I know it was part of the seme's personality to be cold, but even when he was in the heat of 'passion?' C'mon! He was so stiff. I think the story would have had more BANG to the emotions if the facial expressions on the seme were more emotional, rather than mostly stoic.
Most unusual story! Fun.
