Review 53: Intense Rain


Art: 8
Plot: 8
Characters: 8.5
Sex: 8.5

Fufufufu... this is a very good one, for those of us who appreciate comedy and drama mixed into one yaoi. This revolves around a naive uke and a playful seme who both get drunk and have a one-night stand. They end up in a relationship, but the seme neglects the uke after a while to go to parties and the uke walks out on him. Years later, the uke comes back because he's subbing at the school the seme works at. This reopens old wounds, and the end up together again in a very dramatic fashion.

The art is quite nice in this. I particularly like the uke's wavy-ish hair. Very intriguing.

The plot is fairly simple but pleasant. The kitten was a hilarious plot device, and despite being cliche it was just... so cute. In fact, there were tons of usual plot devices used in the expected ways, but somehow they came off as decent compared to other yaoi.

The characters are likable but not superb. The seme is hard to understand, but the uke is more predictable. It was quite touching to see the uke hang onto the apartment key that he had been given, years ago, by the seme... Kinda adorable. They made an interesting match.

The sex was quite nice, except for the one time right before they broke up, which was just sad... But the earlier scenes were very passionate and had the satisfactory amount of panels.

All in all, 33/40. Pretty darn good, for a drama/comedy starting with drunken sex.

Recommendation: Good if you like comedy, good if you like drama. It covers both genres nicely.
Extra Note: Here's a few funny panels that made me laugh. Enjoy!
