EmmaJane's Reviews & Ratings

Image quality is absolutely terrible for some reason, and the translation is a typical Renta "localization" that scrubs any suggestion of Japanese culture from the text & makes all the characters sound like the same Facebook auntie. ("You've been diddling yourself in my bed, high on the thrill of not knowing when I'll be back. Did that feel good?" ? Actual quote from our high-school freshman protagonist, lmao.) The art was hard to see & over-corrected with contrast, but it was cute. The story is a sexual role-reversal set in a private all-boys school, if you like that kind of thing. I wandered off about halfway through because two Facebook aunties dirty-talking during dorm sex is not my idea of good kink.
ABOUT THE MANGA:This volume was cute, with basic-but-competent art and a difficult-to-believe (but also cute) plot about a company man who can't say no to a stray ? whether it's an ikemen or a cat. Most of the pages were taken up with triangulation rather than romance or intimacy, & it ended really abruptly, without even any extras. Maybe there's a second volume coming? Anyway, I'd recommend it to the kind of people who think "wholesomeness" is a worthwhile achievement in the field of BL. (Tbh I was personally expecting a kemonomimi-type story, here. Nope!) // ABOUT THE TRANSLATION:Not great, as always, but nobody comes here looking for Pulitzer-quality content. All the characters sounded like aunties, and I often couldn't tell who was talking. The lack of cultural context is always weird. Somehow the cat went from being named "Nyanko," to being named "Mr. Purrkins," which was also odd. Could've been worse, I guess.
