Book Review: ...but I'm Creeped Out
Summary: 3 Stars
Once again, I have no complaint with the art. Yoshino impressed me with Skyscrapers of Oz, but I found the story weak. This time, there are a collection of yaoi stories. The opening story, about a teacher seduced by his student was both sappy and...well, sleazy. I know, I know, most people don't read hard-core yaoi because of its pure image, but really, the story felt sleazy. I guess I have an issue with a teacher who's a ho. Sue me.
Moving on, there is actually another story about step-brothers who fall for each other. I know it's cliche (the manga Brothers was a fabulous example of the line, though), but this short was actually pretty sweet, and comedic.
The next tale is of a young man who is in the dating-stage of a relationship and ends up having to babysit for a while. Well, new boyfriend comes over to help. This is a very clever and funny piece with the two shyly getting to know each other, and the awkwardness of first-time intimacy.
Okay, no-one liked the last story. What a way to end the collection! I'll describe a bit: Convicted pedophile photographer picks up (too) young foreign kid and basically keeps him hostage. Cue to one rape scene and kid with apparent Stockholm Syndrome. Yeeeeaaahhhh...um...the drawings were good? I actually think that made this one worse.
I think the one thing about shonen-ai and yaoi is usually the emotional attachment the collector feels for the characters, and in this case I felt really icked out, didn't care about either character, and it really soured the feeling for the preceeding two stories. I also hate Level C's characters (retarded, slightly brutal and poorly drawn) so I guess maybe my issue is with KittyMedia's choices of stories being not to my taste overall. It's wonderful for the art, but three out of five stories are pretty lame, so this is only for a serious collector.
