Review 88: Ijimetai Hodo

Art: 8
Plot: 8
Characters: 9
Sex: 8

This is a fun one. A bully - the seme - tries to intimidate a kid he's always crushed on who's in the same grade - the uke - but fails miserably year after year. His threats are empty because he'd never want to hurt his crush, but he keeps it up in order to put on a gruff image, and because he doesn't want anyone to know that he likes the uke. But this uke is vastly more intelligent than usual, and soon the bully becomes the bullied...

Art is good for this one. I especially like the uke's character design. So pretty~!

The plot is amusing and goes around full-circle at the end. I like it when mangas wrap things up like that, it's satisfying.

The characters are great. The cowardly, immature seme is hilarious, and the take-charge, cunning uke is such a treat. One doesn't often see ukes like this one.

The sex is pretty decent, actually. No complaints here, but nothing super special.

All in all, 33/40.

Recommendation: If you like comedies or ukes who can actually think for themselves.
