to me, haruka minami is one of those yaoi mangakas whose stories, plots or characters never leave a deep impression on me. the only one that i actually remember and quite enjoyed was saihate no kimi e to and even that had a couple of pointless sex scenes. It's not that i don't like her, it's just that her dull plots sometimes bore the hell out of me. it's like she's just drawing a story full of sex and adding a plot just for the heck of it (a pwp). also, most of the times, her sex talk and dialogues fatigue me the usual: "wow, i never knew you were this sensitive: just by me kissing you ur already..." "*blush*" ,etc and all that crap. the smex scenes are beautifully drawn but the plot is so boring and unoriginal that it makes them unhot. dont get me wrong here, i like haruka minami (her drawing style) and all but i was just noting some of the bad points in her plots which i'm pretty sure, quite a lot of you have already noticed. but one thing that i HAVE to appreciate about her is her art: it's absolutely beautiful. except for the fact that all she draws are stereotypical ukes and semes. seriously, everytime i read one of her mangas, i always get the feeling that her semes are horny sex-driven males who can't control their lust and her ukes are cute (VERY feminine) male crybabies who can't fight back nor manage on their own without getting raped by someone. o yea not to mention they're always the ones doing all the blushing and crap (well most of her stories consist of these stereotypical personalities). i have to admit the art is practically what makes her mangas enjoyable to read. lol its so rare these days to find yaoi mangas which reasonably good drawings and a PROPER plot. lol.
this post isn't intended to rant on haruka minamis works its just that i wanted to point out some crucial stuff that ruins her mangas. feel free anytime to contradict me or something. its just my opinion
o and btw random: who here agrees with me that yaoi mangas are more enjoyable when the seme and the uke are hard to predict?
