Review 30: Love Seeker

Art: 7
Plot: 7
Characters: 6
Sex: 6

Okay, so these guys in the picture aren't actually from the first novel... my bad. Anyway, this first one revolves around Tomura, the glasses-wearing, shy guy at the company, and Miura, the tall and handsome seme-type. Tomura has been nervously waiting to confess his love to one of the women at the company, but he takes off his glasses and accidentally asks out the eligible bachelor Miura instead. This provokes a friendship that quickly leads to more explicit doings.

The art is so-so. I didn't really like how the uke was drawn very much... if you're going to make him small and adorable, at least put some effort into making him cute. Am I shallow?

The plot is laaaame. Boy accidentally confesses to boy, boy still pursues girl, boy gets rejected, boy realizes he loves boy, sex. Seen it all before.

Characters are typical. Tomura is predictable as the shy, nerdy type who always helps people out because he's too afraid to refuse them. Miura is the handsome bachelor who somehow is just a normal guy and doesn't even know that he's attractive. Riiiiight.

The sex is laughable, really. Tomura, who's an obvious virgin, makes no protest whatsoever and seems to have no pain during the entire sex scene. That's believable, yup. I am still flabbergasted as to how Tomura goes from fully-clothed to completely naked in the space on ONE PANEL.

All in all, a 26/40. Not so great.

Recommendation: if you adore the shy, glasses-wearing uke type, go ahead. If not, find something that isn't totally ridiculous.
