Amnesia as you guys probably know, is an adaption from the game Amnesia, which is an otome game

if you've never played one before you should know 2 things about them:
1) the story is about a girl having the chance to choose out of many hot guys, one to fall in love with etc, you make choices and go down a road with certain chara's , you got many possible endings according to choices you make etcetc google for more inf
2) games like Amnesia are designed in a way that 'you' the one whom plays the game , will be able to imagine yourself AS the ... girl in the game, as
'the HEROINE'
does that name sound familiar? it does right
As matter of fact, to create such an effect, the girls 'heroines' are almost always (I've only played a few so I can't say all xD) really weakly expressed
because it's you! , you yourself make the choices , so ofcourse it's not that weird that she does not have a name
it's so that you can imagine yourself to be her, or well that's the purpose of the game and,
this is why in almost all otome game made anime, the maingirls
are really weak in character, cause it's only the guys of the game that actually have one planned out before them
so for the producers to give her personality and somehow, make a good storyline out of all the possible ones
is not what you can call easy

This whole weak main character thing becomes an achillis heel in many of these anime and often ruins the whole thing BUT
In Amnesia , the girl actually has a reason to be timid, shy, confused, have a weak presence etc ,cause she has 'amnesia' or whatever kind of memoryloss she is suffering from (I can't say she never annoys me but, I can manage to relate to her, if you imagine yourself to be in that situation .....)

As for the anime itself
as for now, I've watched 9 episodes and though I can't say 'I enjoyed myself 100% watching every episode' or 'can't wait to see the next episode' or sth along those lines
for an otome anime, I don't think it's bad at all, I expected more because I really love the game and was really looking foreward to it
but, hey! they kept the original designs of the characters intact
and well, I think they really work! I love the eyes, love the clothes , love their voices and all
the guys are just, all , perfect in a way so, no complaints about that one
even if the story lacks, we still have candy for the eye and ears... I guess...
so overall I'm very satisfied with the art in that aspect (the surroundings , background, movements,... ain't all that much but , I don't really care, it's not a sports anime or anything)

though for some of you , the pacing might seem to go slow, actually , everytime an 'arc' with a guy ends , I'm like 'allready?' 'was that all?'
I have no idea where they're trying to go with this show (what kind of ending are they gonna make cause the game has loads of endings) and
it might turn out being just another cheap-plot girly fluff 'I love you let's be together forevah and evah' anime
I'll be crossing my fingers till the last episode for it to be worth it xD

I love the opening theme and vid, love the ending vid ,
so in short:

Amnesia has a nice package of good designs , pretty boys, great and fitting voice actors nice art and pretty good sound

even if the story's not really worth it, maybe the guys are? xD
and well, if you compare it with other otome anime , it ain't all that bad
there's only a few otome I actually managed to watch completely,
and even less I actually managed to love, so I've learned not to expect too much when one is gonna air
I strongly advice you guys to play the game though :D

when your dearest wish will get granted and then turns your life upside down in a suffocating way
the one you longed for turns out to be very pushy and neglects your feelings, deciding everything for you.
the heroin has to fight with newfound feelings and his own confusion

this story describes on the other hand the sadness of this a succesfull man
when thinking you could never love and when you do, not being able to hold in your overpowering feelings , and practically crush it

the art is really pretty
this mangaka can draw so many beautiful expressions, also the characters have gorgeous looks and are captivating in ... their own way

reading this won't be a waste of time
i totally enjoyed this story
tough it'is pretty fast, it's really heartwarming =^-^=

rika the breeder isnt just the average yaoi manga
it's pretty creepy and dark
rape, wicked systems, initiation ceremonies,incest, freaking hard bullies, murder, suicide, and more rape °-°

if you only like loveydovey cutecute yaoi
don't even bother to read this , you'll hate it
this manga doesnt give you a warm and happy feeling like others do
it made me feel a bit suffocated and made my heart hurt ;c
i can describe it the best as heavy

... This kind of story was a first for me, okay rape stories are common but this one has a really deep feel to it , really
there's more behind everyones intentions and it's kinda complicated and confusing at times
relations between everyone can be questioned..it's not predictable

Even though this manga revolves about a whole rapesystem, no long hot sex scenes in this one, her other manga i read , dogs style has a lot so maybe they have yet to come?
the art , i love it , it's very intense and those eyes damn, they can give you chills

about the characters, it will take some time before i forget them really. You have those mangas you just read and ten minutes later you forget their names. This manga makes you really think about it and kinda sticks in ya mind.

I hope they scanlate it completly soon cuz i can't wait to read the rest of it.

but if you like dark yaoi stories whom give you the chills and you like some rape---
damn what are you waiting for , read it ox

This manga contains two stories, the first about a priest whom gets in a sexual relationship with a student. The priest falls in love so badly that he gives up his everything and even starts seeing the dude equal to god or something.
Teacher-student forbidden love stories arent something new,I eat them with breakfast. There is no plot ,no actual story. Just a sinfull priest crazy in love with a crazy possessive, sadistic, jealous kid.

The second had more of a story,also not original. some debts a guy pays with his body to help his young master.

both stories have strong devotion in common.

if you're someone ... who likes to see two people get closer and fall in love its not something for you...
It contains some sm so if you're into that read it dx
the sex scenes were pretty nice :D

The art is good, well drawn and the ukes dont look like females so i like it :3

character, not special, the stupid uke whom does everything for his holy seme and a sadistic seme who likes to bully.
The second a well known strongminded uke and a more easygoing seme who does show some love

event though the story was not special and the characters were flat i enjoyed it dx overall i give this manga a 6/10 since i know i will probably never read it again, just a story which is similar to other stories.
