Ijimetaihodo Aishiteru



Ijimetaihodo Aishiteru by Mizukami Shin is a collection of short stories.

Takashi has been bullying Haruki since they were children. But he's an idiot, and Haruki always manipulates him. Will these two ever sort out their feelings for each other?

The Fox's Wedding- The Fox's Wedding- Tohru has just quit his job, broken up with his fiancee and moved back home. And it's all because of his supervisor, Hanao! But Hanao is more than he appears to be...

Foreign Culture Communication- A historical story! Commodore "Just call me Darling," is new to Japan and is given a young, beautiful and incredibly naive translator named Haneda Takayuki.

Little Lost Lamb- Kamiya Inoru's parents run a Catholic church and he helps out by listening to confessions. When classmate Shiba Youichi comes in and confesses that he's in love with his classmate, Kamiya, the priest substitute can't resist seeing how far Shiba will go for forgiveness...
Warning: Dirty things happen in a church, and with religious objects. Also, the author doesn't know much about Catholicism.

Educational Affections- Student Ogawa has changed lately since his father remarried and he aquired a new stepbrother. Both basketball team coach Koga and school doctor Takamura are concerned about his home life, but when they find out what Ogawa's brother's been up to will Koga be able to keep his cool?"

This manga is definitely different than a lot of yaoi I’ve read. It’s more like hentai/porn in that there's a lot of sex and the sex scenes are hot, explicit, and a decent length.. Toys are used in two of the stories. The storylines are fairly basic, sticking to the character’s relationships with each other exclusively, and none of the characters develop beyond the fundamentals. None of the relationships really get convulted at all. This book is fundamentally romantic porn.

However, the relationships have interesting dynamics to them. The ukes are the pursuers in most of the shorts and they aren’t remotely passive. Most of them are manipulative and know what they want.

I liked the art in this. It’s a little different than what I’ve seen before, but in a good way. The characters are willowy and the ukes are especially delicate like usual, but the eyes are very, very expressive. The faces are of a different style- more realistic, but not the point that it’s distracting.

That's the Spectrum Nexus Link. I know it can also be found on animephile and probably other manga sharing websites.
