The first time I read Koisuru Boukun I was bored, searching for some kind of distraction. Too good I find this! Koisuru Boukun is, at least, one of my favorite yaoi mangas.
The story is focused on Morinaga Tetsuhiro and his beloved but tyrannical Senpai, Tatsumi Souichi.They have know each other for almost 5 years and Souichi sees Mori like a friends, or better, "sort of friend". Pity Souchi is not only a "slave driver" but also a homophobic guy with brother complex (the little bro's gay and actually is living in America with his lover), too bad Mori's gay and seriously in love with ... him. That's it, more or less.
At the beginning the two characters are very simple, thay can be determined by two or three adjectives, but that's not making it less enjoyable. And more the story continues more we discover about them. Like Morinaga's past or how Souichi can be "human" and not just an asshole, even if him try to hide it.
Guessing about the rape, you know, I do not like it. Initially I didn't care too much, but at the end of that act of betrayed I had felt truly bad for Souichi. And then for Mori. So for the both of the them.
The point is, it's a manga. Right, the rape it's not exactly something you can define educational and morally acceptable, but it's not as if, now that I've read it, I would rape someone. Nobody would do it, if not seriously disturbed.
For as I see it it's only a stratagem to make the story continues. Souichi would never admit his feelings for Mori, neither allow him to do anything and this wonderful story would never have existed. Only my opinion.
However, the mangaka mixes comedy and more serious parts with cleverness always finding new jokes, sketches and situation where the character are moved with ability.
The art isn't marvelous but is so nice and expressive. Love when they blush, when Souichi seems to care for Morinaga more and more and the funny parts! And generally all of it!
A must read!! ^^
