Okane Ga Nai (Manga)

I personally adored this read, it was so beautifully drawn, and the characters had stunning detail to them, the beautiful expressions and attention to detail, made each new scene more moving or some other chapters to be very steamy.

At first i felt alittle sorry for Ayase in his situation but later came to realise Kanou's reasoning, and wanted Ayase to accept and understand Kanou more earlier, but each small step into Ayases understanding meant a new step into the story and relationship.

Making me fall even more in love with the two, and the extreme love within them and how much they deep down cared for each other.
Sometimes the character Kanou seemed alittle harsh with Ayase but it was more an act of over protection and love for Ayase, probably not the nicest of ways to force love upon someone but it makes this a great yaoi manga if he didnt!

Kanou cant stop his lust when he is filled but nothing but desire for Ayase and wants nothing but him.

Well worth a read for people who truley love Yaoi its got lots of steamy action as well as a wonderful storyline full of all the romance and twists you could ask for.

This is a good read. All of it hasn't been translated yet, I'm up to volume 7 currently but I like it. However I haven't yet seen this as a romance.

I see this as control, obsession, and power. Kanou exudes power and is extremely controlling of his environment and his life, so what he wants he gets. He wants Ayase and then finds the perfect opporunity presented when Ayase's cousin sells him off to pay a debt. Kanou buys Ayase and then violently rapes him.

This is not love people. For those to assume that Kanou loves Ayase boggles my mind. He is definitely exuding his control/power and it's peppered by a healthy dose of obsession when you find out for how long he's been fancying Ayase.

You also have it implied that Kanou is not gay, or he believes himself not to be gay...but his obsession with Ayase (who is displayed as a shota with high feminine qualities). This is further seen as obsession when he even equates Ayase as training a pet or a dog. So to get Ayase's love he gets a book on taking care of one's pet (a hostile one) in order to understand Ayase's motives and thoughts.

This of course is ridiculous by anyone's standards. However it is the case. So what you're watching is power plays and the objectification of a male who's extremely feminized. It's interesting because it also brings up the usage of women in the media as sexual objects and their objectification. However again this is a male. As a social comentary this has some worth. As a smut read it has more credence. As for something romantic...hardly.

I do find the art good and if you're into yaoi this should be a staple. For all my statements it's a good story just not one based on romance. read more

looks and feels like shota(which i like), only fact is that the Uke character is actually 18 (says so in the original japanese manga as well, Ayase is a college student). i like the way Kanou is so naive when it comes to Ayase. it's cute. :3 i can't wait to buy volume 6!

Okane Ga Nai, Rocks!!! I love this manga. The characters are great. Ayase is a bit of an air head and is slow to realize Kanou's love for him. The art detail is great except for when the artist draws Ayase's private parts that never see nor Kanou parts either {Disappointed}, but all in all the art is great.
