Yeahhhhhhh sometimes I forgot why the stereotype for yaoi was 'rape you over and over and you fall in love with me' for so long and this sure is just that incarnated in one messy piece LOL. I enjoy plenty of trashy erotica here and there, but admittedly didn't even find this enjoyable. Can't recommend it tbh

The story is just all over the place. Reading the synopsis, I bought this to check out cause it sounded intriguing and maybe dark, but it's just a whole thing of 'random inkling of backstory', 'surprise! That was the reason!', 'surprise! That was a LIE!', insert rape scene between ... every story point, and so on.

It's hard to say more than that without spoiling it but felt very much like the author was throwing things at the wall and seeing what would stick (I think would be a saying for this). Just yeah, not a great read, arts alright, but even the little omake at the end had me more cringing then finding it funny cause man tastes change a lot as you grow up, huh. ^.^"

Pretty much what you expect from a yaoi that has a rape scene in the first chapter.

The story is unbelievably silly, characters act incredibly dumb, and plot points come out from nowhere whenever it is convenient for them to do so, The art is decent, but it won't blow anyone away.

Suna no Rasen is extremely flawed and yet still I enjoyed every second of reading it.

It has every trope that reeks of lazy pandering, and yet is lovable for it. It is so shameless in what it is doing that I can go along with things that would make me upset in something ... of higher quality.

Is this good? Not by a long shot.

Is it enjoyable? Hell Yes.
