Nasu Yukie: Machigai no koi
I can't remember when I first heard that Nasu Yukie (of Here is Greenwood fame) was writing BL, but ever since I found out, I've wanted to avoid it with all my might.
Then, curiousity got the better of me. Nothing good ever came of that ...
Nasu Yukie should not attempt to write porn. She ought to just stop that right away. I don't mind her writing gay fluff or gay comedy or gay drama; over-all, it's not her writing BL that's getting to me (although I think she ought to fulfil her protential for good, mainstream stuff) -- but not porn! Please! There is, fortunately, only one mildly porny scene in this book, but it nearly killed me. My imaginary dick went so flaccid it's not funny. It's so awkward ... no mood what so ever (she was never an atmospheric kind of shojo manga-ka so I guess that's given) ... just bad.
What really gets to me, however, is that I only enjoyed one of these stories. The other two were bland to say the least, and had no punch like Nasu's earlier short stories (Dareka, anyone?). I don't even think that it's because I expect too much of her, because the one story I did like (unfortunately, the one with sex) amused me and made me think she can still do good stuff. The last omake manga was funny, too.
Am very ambivalent.
