I saw your Ai no Kusabi post on my feed and now I must ask you to ramble about it (things you liked about it, characters you like, anything!). I am in desperate need of AnK crumbs.
YES OFC
i had many feelings about it! iāll try not to give away too much in case oomf wants to watch it but i really liked the art style, iām very fond of 90ās anime and i just really liked the drawings for this one.
also i really enjoyed that the artwork emphasized the main charactersā traits, like during a sex scene when thereās a close up on Iasonās face and it tells you sm of how he perceives his relationship with Riki, way beyond just a sexual partner.
also Riki is really cool! i like that heās so proud and loyal and feisty. he makes me quite sad too, ofc, but thatās all i can say here
plus, how i said in the tags of my post, we have strayed so far from the ancient texts!! i mean iām no yaoi connoisseur, not one bit, but i know that some of the things iāve seen out there donāt even try to glimpse at the level of intimacy shown in Ai no Kusabi. and thatās fair! they donāt have to all be like it, but i do feel like itās a bit lost and forgotten, tho maybe iām mistaken
but yeah i really liked it. it also made me very conflicted bc the relationship is not one i can simply root for, not by a long shot, but that also makes it way more interesting.
also the soundtrack slaps!
(side note i saw you shared touchstarved content in your blog and same, i think ais is my favorite)
