Synopsis

Graduate student Souichi Tatsumi is demanding, violent, tyrannical...and a homophobe. So, it's unfortunate that his best assets are a beacon to the homosexual eye: his ass and crotch. Unfortunate, indeed—for both him and his underclassman -slash- lab assistant, Tetsuhiro Morinaga, who is hopelessly in love with those assets despite the threat to his own personal safety.

Morinaga longs to tell Tatsumi how he feels, not to mention other longings... but, given Tatsumi's personality, Morinaga has a better chance of winning the lottery.

Preliminary (35/? eps)

The Tyrant who Fell in Love in an entertaining romp sure to give you some laughs and leave you with a grin on your face. It features a pairing I've never been able to resist; an older, tsundere uke (Tatsumi) and a more reserved seme (Morinaga) who pursues the relationship. If you're a fan of the Egoist couple of Junjou Romantica, you're likely to enjoy this couple.

So we have Tatsumi Souichi, a self-proclaimed gay-hater whose two favorite people in the world...are gay. He's a classic tsundere; loud, brash, hot-headed but also a bit shy and easily flustered. I think what makes this 'walking personality disorder' ... of a guy so loveable is that despite his gay hating ways, it really doesn't matter to him if you're gay or not. He still adores his little brother and cares about his only friend, Morinaga, even after he confessed to his unrequited love for him. He has denial down to an art form but is unflinchingly loyal to those he loves. He wears his heart on his sleeves; what you see is what you get.

On the other hand there's Morinaga, who's harbored an unrequited love for Tatsumi for five years. At first glance he's a bit pathetic, mooning over a hopeless love, reserved, quiet, polite. Unlike Tatsumi, he's got a few layers to his personality. He can be sneaky and manipulative and he has a tendency to overthink things. He pursues the romance with Tatsumi, pushing, pulling, dragging and coercing him into a relationship.

What makes it all work is the dynamics between the two; I can't say I ever feel bad for either one. They get what's coming to them and they honestly deserve one another. Tatsumi relentlessly abuses Morigina, physically and verbally, treating him like his assistant even outside of the university. Morinaga, who runs after Tatsumi while being perfectly aware of the man's considerable flaws, manipulates and tricks his straight friend into sex and breaks down his walls of denial.

The story...beyond what relates directly to the boys' personal lives there's not much plot outside of the relationship. I mean, Tatsumi is doing scientific experiments and Morinaga assists him and stuff, I guess? It's hardly the focus, but to be honest, at seven volumes, the chemistry is still there and it;s still as fun as it was in the beginning. The author doesn't just throw in a few sex scenes and suddenly it's all roses and everyone is in love and happy. No, Tatsumi's going gay kicking and screaming every relentless step of the way.

The art is good, though it's easy to get mixed up between characters since the designs aren't all that distinct. Morinaga and Tatsumi are very cute, I definitely dig the glasses and long hair. The sex scenes are smutty but not porny and I must say they're quite hot. If I must nitpick, it's that because of the nature of the relationship and Tatsumi's role of not exactly participating in the sex limits the variety of positions and fun things that can happen. Still the author manages to be creative and mix things up.

The Tyrant who Fell in Love is a nice little dramedy, and I'd recommend to any yaoi fan for a good laugh. The boys are funny, hot and likeable and the story is entertaining. It's a nice light read, nothing life changing or amazing, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (66/? eps)

My relationship with this manga is extremely complicated. The way Morinaga literally raped and only thinks about sex all the time (literally, for him, love is all about sex), it pissed me off. Not to mention that history never moves; when everything seems to be going, it comes back.

The question is ... so why did I keep reading anyway? The answer is simple: Senpai. He is a lovely character (as well as handsome), watching him evolve was satisfying. And I became so attached to him that giving up this show was difficult. Today, however, I am officially putting this manga aside. Things could have been ...

Koi Suru Boukun~! It's like, so different from other yaoi manga!! Gosh, I'm sooo tired of that stereotypical crap, let's get some backbone into my ukes!

Oh how shortsighted the thought is. Well then, let's go.

Plot: Rape is love.

Story:
Contradicting homophobe has a gay best friend and a gay little brother. Said best friend is in love with him but "doesn't attempt anything because it might ruin their friendsh--" wait no, Morinaga has no qualms about raping the man he's been lusting after exclusively for the past so or so years when he gets an opportunity to do so. This was never about friendship and all that ... other crap, he wanted his ass and was afraid of rejection.

All of the sudden one night, rape. The next day rape is comedy and there's wacky fights all over the place. This is one part I loathe about this kind of thing, either you make it dark and serious or a comedy. You tend to fail both when you're trying too hard at both.
The rest of this story is Tatsumi slowly falling in love with Morinaga because sex equals love, 'his body got used to him', and rape is a slap on the wrist so I forgive you this once. Let's do it more often. Oh, hold on. There's road bumps in our raburabu road to love, but don't worry through the power of sex- I mean love (they're basically the same thing) we'll get our happy ending.

Someone get this author a piece prize.

Character is very one dimensional. Forget that this is 'role-reversal' of generic yaoi stereo types and you get the same, even more frustrating stereotype. 'Tsuntsun'-beat the shit out of person because I know he'd never leave me uke and happy go lucky masochistic seme that will love his partner no matter what. Say, this doesn't sound familiar at all. Both of the main characters are bitches. Morinaga is a doormat (oh, except in bed) and Tatsumi is just a plain bitch (and a doormat in bed, by the way. Oh hey!).

What peeves me the most is that it's this kind of plot line that will satisfy people into believing this is what men are actually like. Nevermind the gay part, men are still men. They don't think about love or some other rabu shit 24/7, especially not mature college professors. The aftermath of rape maybe, but that kind of goes away rather quickly. These guys are castrated little dolls made up by an author with a knack at drawing and little idea of what really goes on in an adult world. (If you thought it was just sex, sex, sex, you're right but mostly wrong.)

What was I expecting when I first read this? Maybe a bit of realism. Something not 90% of all yaoi manga (aka; terrible). Turns out, this is the same rehashed shit fanfiction thrives on for unoriginal plot.
