Ahiru No Oujisama Volume 1-3



rating: Teen
volumes: 6 complete
Ahiru no Oujisama or Duck Prince is by MORINAGA Ai. This review is for the first three volumes. Shiratori is a short helmet head who likes plants. He is always constantly being bullied by his classmates who label him as "ugly". It doesn't help that all of his family members are attractive. He meets a girl named Yumiko who shares the same interest of plants as he does. She's also attracted to Shiratori's "type" but I don't think he realizes it. After a freak car accident Shiratori wakes up from a coma looking like a gorgeous boy. Later we find out that Yumiko's dog, Mister has powers and turned Shiratori handsome. Mister's powers aren't that great so Shiratori switches from his good looking self to his ugly self from time to time.

I really enjoyed this story in the beginning but it started to get boring after awhile. Nothing is progressing between Shiratori and Yumiko (and I'm liking their characters less and less), I think in the end Shiratori will stay his "ugly" self since that's what Yumiko likes. Morinaga Ai keeps introducing characters to distract us but the only interesting one is Omae-san who is basically the girl version of Shiratori. It's sort of predictable what happens to her.

There is a part which disturbs me. Shiratori's sister rapes him. Every review you'll see are girls squealing that was cute or hot but I find that disturbing. It wasn't graphic, it was implied. I wonder if one of these girls get victimize, would she still think that part is "cute".

I'm still going to read the series hoping it will get better and hope that rape scene was just a horrible nightmare.

R-18



rating: mature
volumes: 4 Complete

R-18 is by Sugi Emiko. I just read the first volume. Riko is a regular high school girl who writes a sex advice column in a magazine. The problem is that Riko has never had "experience" before and she gets all her inspiration from watching a lot of porn. Her persona in the magazine is R-18. A boy with many odd jobs (Minato) finds out that Riko is R-18 and he uses that to bribe her. Minato also decides to help her "technique" but Riko is still thinking about it.

I thought the instant attraction between Minato and Riko was corny. Minato confession was bleh, hopefully the series will get better soon. In chapter 2 after Minato shows Rico a porn filming he tries to do it with her on the same bed the actors were. That scene wasn't sexy, that was borderline rape for me. And his "your body is MINE MINE MINE" thing was a little uncomfortable. I was happy his editor came to interrupt it before anything happened. He doesn't pull anymore rape stunts after that but it's only the first volume so...

I thought the art was average but I love Sugi Emiko's use of screen tones.

I'm still going to read more but so far the series isn't anything great.
