dynamicdylan's review against another edition

I hate the main character now. At first I thought, "Wow, a BL that talks about transgendered people! Awesome!" Nope, the main character calls his m-f transgendered sister, his brother and multiple times says she's a he. "He's still a man, just dresses like a girl." That's not how it works. I know this is just a BL, and in Japan being gay isn't accepted there. But in a genre where the men all sleep with other men, you'd think the writer would TRY to write accurate LGBT+ characters. RAWR!! So mad!
Hopefully in the future, BL will get better. More accepting. Smarter. I'm still waiting for it to.

Die Beziehung der zwei Hauptcharaktere entwickelt sich; wir haben neue Kinks die sie ausprobieren, und wir lernen die Vergangenheit von Kotas ersten mal mit 15 kennen, weil er seinen damaligen Liebhaber wieder trifft. Und da er erst 19 (!) ist, hat das doch ziemliche Auswirkungen auf ihn. Wir bekommen gezeigt, wie er zu dem Menschen wurde, der er heute ist.

If you were to compare books to food, "Punch Up" has about the same nutritional value as a glass of Nutella. Except of course it doesn't make you fat. It's just that - reading "Punch Up" is neither good or bad (okay, so the comparison to Nutella really falls flat, sorry about that) - it's slightly kinky pointless fun using cardboard cutouts instead of characters and just about every BL cliché you can imagine. It's the kind of book I like to read in the morning when I have a day off. That's why it gets three stars rather than just two. It's entertaining, but in a really empty way. But it doesn't pretend to be anything else, and I can respect that.
Also, it has cats. And cats in manga are always worth an additional star.
