I'll Be Your Slave (Yaoi)

It does become sweet, but at first it's a bit silly. Moriya is taken by Itsuki on sight, and goes straight out of his mind to please him. Everything he does from then on is completely overdone, it is funny. Moriya pampers and spoils the already pampered and spoiled Itsuki. It seems everyone is in love with Itsuki. Itsuki actually seduces Moriya by telling him that he is going to quit modeling for Moriya because the job makes him too tired for sex, and asks him if he would do anything to keep Itsuki would he do this? Moriya begins by saying "but, I'm a guy", and in the next page is expertly giving Itsuki just what he wants. That's pretty funny in itself, but Ugg! It was hard to like the self-centered Itsuki. He floats into a competitor's hands and right into his bed, without a second thought. He actually calls Moriya after sleeping with the guy, and Moriya finds him in bed, naked, and with an assortment of love bites. He is devastated, and realizes it's because he's in love with Itsuki. You have to guess after a while that Itsuki has been allowed to be selfish for so long that he doesn't think of anyone else until he finds himself in love with Moriya too.The Barbaric Prince is a great little story. Kuntomo is a sweet guy who likes to rescue animals in need. Fujimaru is very handsome, quiet, and distant to everyone besides Kuntomo. He is quick to anger, and he flies off the handle untill Kuntomo calms him down. I'd love to see this story make it's way into it's own manga. The hotness potential is off the charts!Overall, I'd say it's a good manga. Nothing along the lines of the romantic Yellow series or the fantastically hot Finder series, but good. On par with the June manga collection I've managed to read so far.

This is just funny in the way some of the drawings are showed. Story over all is not bad and I did enjoy it with the sweet love story add in to the mix. Slave is one word to give away how part of the story goes.

The story in itself was cute and deserves five stars, but by the time I read through the book, it had come a loose from the cover.

looks great

Definitely my sister manga!

Came in excellent shape. Thanks!

I find this one original and very enjoyable, and simply hilarious. Gone is the demanding seme. Instead we have Moriya the perfect slave to his beautiful uke.Moriya is desperately searching for the perfect model for his commercial. He finally finds him in one beautiful student, Ouno. Never mind that Ouno is a guy. The beautiful Ouno is used to being pampered by his adoring fan-like friends. Ouno is one cute character. He is laid back, even passive, hardly utters more than a sentence and just speaks with his eyes.Moriya is more than besotted by Ouno and becomes an obsessive slave satisfying his quietly demanding uke's every whim. The scenes here are outrageously funny and Moriya's enthusiam as he slaves away crazily adorable. As for the sex, it may not be all revealing but it is fun as our lazy uke wants Moriya to do all the work. Watch out for the one in the bathroom.The plot turns serious when Moriya's rival since school days and now working for a competitor appears. Misunderstandings ensue and I find a certain development a trifle disturbing. The ending parts are well done and I love the reconciliation between the 2 lovers.There is a separate short story on 2 childhood friends which is pretty amusing too. One of the characters is prone to violence and could only be pacified by his close friend but of course the feelings are more than friendship.As for the short bonus at the end on Moriya and Ouno, it is just so funny. Never realized that an ice pack for a feverish head could be so conveniently placed.This mangaka's artwork is pretty and lively. Notice all the interesting hands and arms movements. Get this if you want a good laugh as much as a sweet romance.

I'll Be Your Slave is... funny: I dont think it was meant to be, it just is. The story line is untypical, the uke has all the power and the seme is like a blind overly hyper puppy, which leaves a lot of room for these comedic incidents in Araya's art work i.e. excited expressions, strangely placed authors comments in the margins and motions of the human body that are just not possible-I recommend you read this when in a bad mood, cuz you'll be laughing at the end, and that you buy it used or borrow.

Moriya ist bei einer Modellagentur angestellt und erhält den Auftrag für eine Werbekampagne ein perfektes Modell zu finden. Als ihm zufällig der junge Itsuki Ouno über den Weg läuft steht für Moriya fest - dieser oder keiner. Es gelingt ihm, Itsuki unter Vertrag zu nehmen. Doch dieser erweist sich in jeder Hinsicht als verwöhnte Diva. Zu seiner Überraschung stellt Moriya fest, dass es ihn keineswegs stört, dem neuen Supermodell jeden Wunsch von den Augen abzulesen. Im Gegenteil. Es scheint so als hätte er den eigentlichen Sinn seines Lebens gefunden, welcher darin besteht, den kühlen Itsuki auf Händen zu tragen und ihm in jeder nur erdenklichen Weise zu Diensten zu sein.Anfangs war ich mehr als skeptisch, weil ich für gewöhnlich starke, dominante Seme bevorzuge. Davon ist Moriya hier jedoch so weit entfernt wie man(n) es nur sein kann.Die Geschichte wird im Wesentlichen aus Sicht von Moriya erzählt. Von Itsuki und seinen Gefühlen und Motiven erfährt der Leser deutlich weniger, was vermutlich so beabsichtigt war, um seinen "Status" als angebetete Diva zu unterstreichen.Interessant dabei ist, dass Itsuki all die Dinge, die Moriya für ihn tut, zwar als selbstverständlich annimt, sie jedoch niemals selbst verlangt. Einzige Ausnahme bildet der Sex. Diesen Gefallen fordert Itsuki ein. Doch da Moriya nur zu gern bereit ist, mit ihm zu schlafen und die Sache mindestens genauso geniesst, kann man darüber hinwegsehen, dass dies streng genommen sexuelle Nötigung darstellt. Abgesehen davon handelt Moriya bei allem aus völlig freiem Antrieb - sofern man einmal davon absieht, dass es ihm dermaßen gefällt, Itsiki zu bedienen und zu verwöhnen, dass man fast von einer zwanghaften Obsession sprechen kann.Diese Thematik hätte man durchaus auch sehr viel dunkler darstellen klönnen, so wie es von vielen Manga auch getan wird, inklusive massivem SM Einschlag. Zum Glück geschieht dies hier jedoch nicht. Denn dieser Manga ist eine luftig-fluffige Comedy reinster Güte. Master & Slave mit umgekehrten Vorzeichen jedoch ohne SM und dafür mit einer extra Kelle Humor und Ironie.Nicht jeder mag über die Thematik und deren Umsetzung lachen können, doch mir hat diese lockere Herangehensweise sehr gefallen. Natürlich wird eine solche Konstellation niemals zu meinen persönlichen Favoriten gehören, weil ich ein umgekehrtes Machtgefälle reizvoller finde.Doch dies einmal beiseite gelassen ist I'll be your Sklave ein unterhaltsames Werk mit einem gewissen Seltenheitswert innerhalb des BL-Bereich, der für gewöhnlich derartige Beziehungen weitaus düsterer und bevorzugt mit SM verbindet.Die Zeichnungen sind schön anzuschauen, wenn auch ein wenig skizzenhaft. Die Gesichstausdrücke sowie insbesondere die Ausdrücke in den Augen spiegeln teilweise zu wenig Emotionen wieder. Dafür ziehe ich bei der Gesamtbewertung einen Stern ab.Fazit:Wer einmal Lust auf eine etwas andere Master & Sklave Story hat, kann es einmal mit diesem Manga versuchen

The plot concerns a business man who falls in love with a young model. He pampers and spoils him and treats him like royalty. You'd expect the younger dude to be a lot more annoying, but he's not so bad actually. They're kind of sweet together.There's some action; pretty much the usual stuff; what you'd expect from this kind of thing.The drawings are nice, they're not too feminine. None of that skinny/long hair/wondering if it is a girl or a boy-stuff. Personally I like men to look like men, and women to look like women. Just a personal preference.I was in doubt about whether to give this three or four stars, but ended up giving it four because I just happen to really like the title, the cover and the blind adoration of the older guy.Nothing too special, but it will keep you entertained on a rainy afternoon.
