Review 31: I'm Falling in Love with Your Magic

Art: 5
Plot: 7
Characters: 8.5
Sex: 7

Tetsuya is the unfortunate "straight" guy who wakes up after a drunken one-night stand... with a guy. He can't remember anything, but the hemorrhaging is enough to convince him that he doesn't want to remember. The next day at his high-school, the most popular guy in the school confesses to him. This guy - Asami - is also a porn star despite being technically underage. The mystery unfolds as Asami relentlessly pursues Tetsuya.

The art is awful. It looks like an amateur doujinshi for the most part, with the 'good' drawings only surfacing in important moments. Is this for real!?

The plot is pretty far-fetched and confusing even for a yaoi. Even when it ends, I can't help wondering if I really understood any of it. Sigh.

The characters are actually pretty well fleshed-out, in terms of personality. Asami's character is amusing in his own way, while Tetsuya is easy to sympathize with. Tetsuya is definitely the deepest character in this yaoi, and his realistic reactions to the whole situation make the manga weird instead of just trashy.

The sex (?) is nothing worth reading. I don't even know if I should call it sex. Half the time it's not entirely consensual, and most times it isn't shown completely anyhow.

All in all, 27.5. Not great... but it's not sitting at the very bottom of the ratings, either.

Recommendation: if you're a sucker for muscular, flashy-smile star semes, go ahead and try this. Otherwise it's just laughable.
