Review 116: Uso to Kiss

Art: 8.5
Plot: 7.5
Characters: 8
Sex: 8

... What is with the fascination for incest, particularly half-incest stuff that makes you think, 'well, that's kinda creepy, but at least they're not directly related'!? I mean, do they have to be half-brothers? Why couldn't they have been stepbrothers, completely unrelated by blood? Even that's kinda weird, but I would have almost let it slide compared to this. I know judgment isn't something to be handed out so hastily, but... this kind of thing does make me uneasy.

The story seems pretty typical at first - guy meets uke working at a bar, they meet for drinks, get drunk and have sex at some point. The complication is when the older man - seme - finds out that the uke is his younger half-brother. Ashamed, he keeps this from the uke and pretends that they're not having sex anymore because he found out the uke is a minor (17 in Japan, which means pretty much 70% of the yaoi we're reading is... yeah). But how long can his charade go on without the uke finding out the awful truth?

Spoiler: (highlight to read) They actually aren't related by blood. Whoaz.

Sadly, both the characters and the sex are pretty good, making me feel even worse after I found out their 'relationship'. What a pity...

32/40.

Recommendation: If you're looking for something intriguing and aren't too squeamish.
