Yuuki Ryoh

Adult Black and white graphic novel/collection of stories.

Rhapsody is a collection of five story sections.

The first section is titled "Rhapsody of a Brother and Sister" and includes four stories ("volumes"). The first story involves the brother mooning over a girl, and the sister that is jealousy. The sister has taken care of the brother since their parents died, and, as she notes: "[y]ou need no one but me." The brother and sister have a very close relationship. Too close. The second story involves the brother and sister being too close some more, and a memory of when they found out that their parents had died. The third story involves the girl the brother likes stopping by the apartment. The girl and the brother go up to the brother's room, and then the sister calls the brother downstairs, tells him to stay down there and the sister heads to his room. When the girl refuses to leave the brother alone, the sister sexually attacks the girl: "I'll make it so you never show your face in front of my brother again." The last story follows directly on the third. After the rape, the brother (so far unaware of what really happened), confronts his sister while she is in the shower. The sister tries to go down on the brother, but he pushes her away. But that doesn't last. The artwork in these stories is good, nothing is censored, but the subject matter is off-putting.

The second story section involves a one part story called "Our Relationship." This story involves a very smart, beautiful high school girl, named Saeki, and the girl, named Ryoko, that she "stalks." After learning that Ryoko needs to take a make-up test, Saeki invites herself to become Ryoko's tutor. Ryoko's nervous about the situation. Then she learns that Saeki, the girl that could get into any university, is intentionally failing her tests so that she could remain in the school with Ryoko. One thing does not lead to another, as there is no sex and no nudity.

The third story section involves another one part story, this one called "A World of Beautiful Women." This story involves a school club that needs one more member to stay open. A strange all-female "Conjuring Tricks Club," involving bondage. A woman is stripped, bond and made to join the club (oh, and all this nudity and bondage is occurring outdoors, on what might be school grounds). Good artwork, good story.

The fourth story section is yet another one part story, this one called "Got Milk?" This story involves a man and woman that have been going out for a week. When the man finds and reads the woman's planner, he finds out that the woman goes out with other men. The woman spots him reading the planner and begs him to not leave her, and that she will do anything to keep him. The man asks for milk, the woman brings it, and then an odd sequence of events unfold. The man shoves the woman over, shoves the milk into one of her holes in her lower body, and basically attacks her. Interesting little odd story.

The last story section is yet another one parter, and a return to incest, in the story titled "Little Sister's Feelings." Yet again, the brother wants to break off the relationship, and the sister doesn't want to do that (difference being that this time it is an older brother/young sister relationship). The brother says that he likes one of his sister's girlfriends. The sister "make[s] [his] wish come true." The brother and the girlfriend enjoy each other while the sister watches.

Overall, the subject matter was a little too off-putting. The drawing was good, though hindered by being black and white (and the incest). Book includes: incest, no censoring, rape (girl on girl), bondage, exhibitism, whipping, and voyeurism.… (mere)

Adult black & white graphic novel.

Strange little ten part science fiction graphic novel.

The first part introduces two of the main characters, Sheila and her bound slave, Chacha. While Sheila plays with her slave, we learn that Sheila wants to find a new slave girl, and innocent, because she is bored with the overly experienced Chacha. We also learn that Sheila and Chacha are aliens, and that Sheila has targeted Earth to find her newest slave (for those that dislike multi-tentacled alien's attacking earth women and the like, these aliens look life female humans).

The second part involves the search for and discovery of Sheila's target, the Earth virgin Ayaka. Ayaka literally runs into Sheila, and is targeted for slavery. The three women end up in Ayaka's apartment. Sheila requests that Ayaka strip, Ayaka refuses and tries to run away, and ends up stripped anyway.

The third part is titled "Enforced Masturbation." Chacha demonstrates masturbation, and Ayaka is fondled and forced to masturbate. The book flows along, further humiliating, abusing, penetrating (with a chocolate bar), and enslaving Ayaka. The further stories include the first kiss, penetration, gym class without a bra and pierced nipples, and self-manipulation.

Overall, the book has good artwork and some good interesting parts, but enjoyment is somewhat hindered by the black & white nature of the book, and the censoring. The book contains: slavery, bondage, rape, some mild censoring (odd, considering the other book by Yuuki that I've read wasn't censored, might be a different Yuuki), fisting, humiliation, piercing, and exhibitism. (overall a rating of 3.992)… (mere)
