Book Reviews of Kirepapa Volume 1 (Yaoi) (Deux)
Book Review: A series with an uncertain future...
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been mulling over this review for a few days now because it isn't as easy as I thought it was going to be. See, I watched the OVA before reading the book like most of us have so it's almost a bit of a letdown. Chisato's crazy overreactions to everything and his facial expressions are just so funny when animated. Not that they aren't funny here because they are, it's just different seeing it animated. Well, let's see what I can tell you if you aren't familiar with this title at all, shall we?
Kirepapa is all about Chisato, our single dad, trying to prevent horny boys from attacking and molesting his son, Riju. He goes as far as putting laxatives in cookies he feeds to Riju's friends. One of them, Shunsuke, is onto Chisato's tricks and is quite adept at avoiding them. This, of course, infuriates Chisato who is certain Shunsuke is out to get poor defenseless Riju. However, knowing Shunsuke is onto his tricks and still sticks around makes him wonder if he really could be a true friend to Riju.
I really do like Kirepapa primarily because of Chisato's character and his crazy antics. Shunsuke certainly doesn't hurt the story either as he's quite a fox. There are a few relationships in this story and volume one covers all of the first OVA and some of the second, if you've watched them already. Sex wise, I actually think the OVA's might be a touch more explicit than the manga. I wouldn't say the manga is overly explicit but there are a few sex scenes, one being more explicit than the rest. I liked the illustrations more for their humor than how well done they are. Translation and readability seemed fine to me.
Kirepapa is an ongoing series but the fate of the rest of the series is up in the air right now. With how volume one ends, it works fine as a stand-alone so I would still recommend picking it up. No cliffhangers here.
