Review 105: Secrecy

Art: 7
Plot: 6
Characters: 7
Sex: 5

It's when I've reviewed so many bad mangas in a row that I truly stop and think, 'is yaoi mostly crap?' Case in point, 'Secrecy'. I mean, wow, there's so little substance! The art isn't anything to get excited about, the 'sex' is never actually shown (there's a new one), and the plot and characters don't make up for these faults at all.

This one's about two guys who have a one-night stand, causing the younger one to seek out the older guy and shamelessly blackmail him into sex. This becomes a weird pseudo-relationship that... I need some milk and cookies. Anyway, the older guy is obsessed with his straight coworker who is getting married, so the younger guy is treated just like a side dish.

The seme - Mr. Older Guy - is awfully cold and a shallow character, too. The uke tries to make up for this by appearing to have some depth, but he's not all that interesting, either. Very fail with characterization, this one.

All in all, 25/40.

Recommendation: None~! Sigh.
