Review of 'Rabbit Man Tiger Man Volume 1 Yaoi' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A silly but surprisingly good yaoi that went in unexpected directions over and over, with a handful of extremely striking art panels, most notably when it gets steamy and goes anthropomorphic. The silly factor keeps any real depth out of the characters, and the yakuza plot isn't fully baked either, but both do get better in the next two volumes. It just felt fresh and interesting compared to a lot of what's out there, particularly given that no one is entirely one-note; Nonami is prone to creating meditative stillness and controls his more rapey tendencies with games, and Uzuki is increasingly torn between the one-sided attraction and day-to-day work.
The only thing I'm really not a fan of at all is the included side story, "If You Write A Lie, I Will Read It As The Truth," which is a complete 180 from the story and very, very rapey and …
