wasted potential

by uke-lele

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

It's a pity, really. Everything about this manga from length of serialisation (I'm betting it could've run 3 times longer if allowed; there was a lot of room for expansion), characterisation and even the yaoi scenes was brimming with unexpended potential. However, the author regretfully decided to compress everything into six short chapters. The first two chapters were actually well-paced - then came the third where everything started accelerating like a bullet train. The end-result is a rushed, albeit very pretty, product that leaves you wanting more because it could have been so much better. Except that it's over and I'll just have to live with it.

The premise was alright, an excuse creative enough to make the plot acceptable, if not viable. The art got me hooked from the very start. The tone was always kept light, focusing on the trials and tribulations of Ryoichiro as he fusses over his new guest. It'd be good had it been kept that way, because in truth there was a lot to write about; unfortunately, the story dived into a new arc too quickly and of which was also resolved too quickly. I can pinpoint the exact moment when the story took a nosedive to join the "story exists so I can draw sexy time" group of yaoi mangas. It was disappointing, because I was actually getting emotionally invested. There was this one scene where the two leads make an informal promise to visit someplace together (chapter 3), but it was never adequately covered. Just one illustration of how much more could have been done with the story if it had been permitted to run longer. It was sad watching it fall...

That's not to say it doesn't have its merits. For one, the art is amazing. Qaltaqa's probably the hottest seme I've ever encountered (superficially speaking). Physical appearances don't get any better than this. Characterisation isn't morbidly bland, which is an achievement in itself. Again, Qaltaqa's physically memorable, and the language barrier offers an additional twist on his personality. Ryoichiro behaves like a typical shoujo lead but has some backbone, which is good enough since I've learnt not to expect much. His expressions are great, too. He carries most of the humour throughout the manga, loveable geek that he is.

Sex is alright. Again, there could have been much more if only it was extended. Qaltaqa's background means he behaves a little differently in bed, and Ryo's fun to watch. We're offered a short glimpse into the potential adventures they could have.... and then the manga ends. Gosh, just thinking about this makes me want to cry. WHY.

While I enjoyed the ride, I'm just disappointed because it could have been so much better.

Very pretty art

The art was lovely, which I appreciated. The story was sort of cute I. Spots and pretty racist in other places, so it wasn’t my favorite. I think it could have been handled better. The end was also pretty rushed. Definitely better than most average manga, but it had a lot of potential and didn’t quite get there.

I really loved this Manga, because it was a different take on the Yaoi stories I have read so far. It has a little bit of everything and Qaltaqa is super sexy, as well as beautiful. I would most definitely read it again!

Agree--Wasted Potential

by Prazeodymium

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

This manga was one of the most unique ones I've ever read but I agree that it fell short once the pace picked up. Even though I'm still in the middle of reading the scanned translations I did finish it through the raws and I was slightly disappointed with how it seemed to just taper off when there could have been so much more added to the plot and character development.

Even though I'm disappointed with the length and the idea of how it could have been such a more in depth ride this still ranks at the top when compared with many of the other yaoi manga that I've read simply because of the originality of the idea and the depiction of the characters (Enzou I love your art!).

I go back and read this manga at least once a year and everytime I do I squeal and blush and drool at the art style as if it's the very first time all over again.

It's simple, sweet, there's no annoying love triangles, and the love scenes are drawn so beautifully...it's seriously a work of art.

I'm not saying it's the most profound piece of literature in the world, but it's something you can relax and read comfortably if you want to feel butterflies hehe

This one has haunted me for years and I can't believe that it's still one of the best-regarded yaois. The Indigenous character acts like a dumb brute, running around like a 'savage'. Even just considering the quality of the story it sucks. Google colonization or orientalism to understand just how dominant groups (The Japanese author, in this case) are able to sell you on these horrible caricatures with little to no backlash because the mass audience is not educated enough to be disgusted by its bs.

This manga seriously gave me diabetes

First of all, this manga has top-tier art style (as expected of Kyugou-sensei). Secondly, the plot is really sweet and unique. What I most definitely like was that time when Qaltaqa cut his long braided hair and the children of Lutah made it an accessory for his bride, Ryou.Bride were after all expected to make an accesory out of it as proof that they accepted their love.It was a custom of Lutah men to offer a part of their long hair as it signifies soul and body itself before the sun sets.(So freaking romantic 😭😍) Ryou cut his own hair as well and made it into a wedding ring which was the very first wedding ring of Lutah. Ryou suggested it since he has shorter hair and because, they were married, alright 😭Gosh, I almost flipped on this scene because it's too sweet! The seme and uke is a fated pair and I won't shut up how perfect they are towards each other! I love Aqnam's character too along with their father, Jiltana-san. Majority of the Lutah people aren't prejudiced too! The children are so adorable!

Will re-read this insanely sweet and moving BL manga over and over again😭😍

MASTERPIECE 💙

I've read tons of BL manga/hwa/huas but this is one of the best that is really well-written and so lovely that you can't help but fell in love 🤍

i'm not sure what the fascination is with "dark-skinned tribal dude" tropes but they're never really stories that i think are done well or find enjoyable/memorable. it would've been nice if he was an exchange student learning japanese, something that is relatively common now. i don't know why he had to be from a tribe when the general "language barrier" comedic attempt would be present... anyway, the art was nice but i wouldn't read this again. it was really fast paced, had very little character development for qaltaqa. we didn't really get to see him struggle with concepts in our modern everyday lives, so that felt strange (i mean, his brother automatically went to check in at the airport like it was second nature...? ok lmao)
anyway, interracial couples are rare, but well-done ones are truly scarce or, dare i say, inexistent.

I just read it today, and agree with other manga fans, it has it's pros and cons. Both guys are cute as heck and the plot was interesting. But the ending left me hanging. I know this is yaoi fantasy since most primitive cultures are not very accepting of the alternative lifestyle. Since many cling to traditional values, but I could be wrong.
