Slugline: An actual boyfriend! Admittedly a cheating, manipulative one, but still!
Tatsuya has seduced both his girlfriend Maria and her best friend Lisa to be his lovers, but he does not want to sneak between them as he has to with his liaisons with Maria's mother. So her sets up Maria and Lisa to accept sharing him openly in a menage atrois. Tatsuya then discovers that there are other women in Maria's family he has yet to seduce when visiting England and begins taking steps to correct this terrible oversight.
Tatsuya comes close to being a paragon of virtue for porn manga, for he is merely manipulative and arrogant when the standard is cruel, distant and abusive. Sure, he has to seduce every large breasted woman that wanders by, especially if they are related to his girlfriend, but the ogling and horndog behaviors are almost typical for teen boys. The art is rigid and the dialogue is stilted, but few porn titles had any worthwhile dialogue to begin with and women who merely violate the laws of biology/physics in breast size seem refreshingly normal. If this review seems overly forgiving perhaps it is because the last few adult titles that were in the review queue for Prospero's Manga were not finished once started because they were creepy and/or disturbing. This is a tolerable porn manga in which the characters' kinks and fetishes are not the stuff of crime dramas.
Blue Eyes, vol. 1 has been previously reviewed on Prospero's Manga - Mature.
Blue Eyes, vol. 3 is also available from Right Stuf, Intl., an online retailer specializing in manga and anime.
