Review 143: Bitter

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

Pretty standard plot here. The young hotel-chain manager finds a drunk patron - a beautiful uke - and carries him to his own suite. Then he takes off the unconscious guy's clothes and molests him, leading to a very angry uke in the morning. "I mistook you for a prostitute," the hotel manage says. The uke, however, will have none of this.
Soon, the hotel manager finds out that the uke was in fact his rival; another hotel manager with a competing hotel. And the uke proposes a deal - in return for use of his body, he wants the seme to help out the rival hotel's marketing at the risk of his own hotel.

The art is pretty nice, courtesy of Minami Haruka of course. I like this style, in spite of the feminine portrayal of both uke and seme.

The plot is obviously not great, but whatever. It's Minami Haruka; some sacrifices can be made.

The characters aren't superb, but I'm rather fond of the uke hotel manager, Shou. He manages to be detached and alluring because of his bitterness (hence the title) which is an interesting twist for a cute uke.

The sex was all right, but for some reason the effeminate way the seme is portrayed doesn't work for me here. All the characters look just a little too similar.

Overall, 27.5/40.

Recommendation: If you like slutty, bitter ukes who only care about money. I.e. gold-diggers.
