galateadoesbooks 's review for:
Eve and Eve
by Nagashiro Rouge
There are 6 one-shots in this collection, each with their own theme. Overall, the book is a pretty good collection, doing some novel things with the Yuri genre, and the author loves drawing their sex scenes, as evidenced by their Twitter (https://twitter.com/na_ga_shi_ro); and Pixiv account (https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/30583883), which I will be masturbating to shortly.
Each of the stories here are best treated separately, and here are my spoiler-free reviews of them, in the order they appear
1. I Want to Leave Behind a Miraculous Love: 3/5
A touching story about the boundaries of language. Also sex. That too. Wish there was more of the former, but ah well
2. The Case of Eko and Lisa: 4/5
Talks about the commodification and objectification of sex, and how genuine intimacy sprouts from it regardless.
3. Top or Bottom? The Showdown!: My Repressed Highschool Memories/5
Reminds me of how me and my friends acted in highschool, shipping each other and doing things that definitely would've gotten us suspended. Still processing the trauma that those memories have given me, but overall a really funny story.
4. An Infidelity Revisited: NTR/10
Short, sweet, and to the point, just like the titular affair.
5. Heir to the Curse: Trigger Warning/10
this story deals with themes of generational trauma and consent, and in my opinion does so in a rather nuanced, if extremely fucked up way. If stories about sexual assault aren't for you, then please skip this. It's extremely graphic, and the story tackles the themes in a way that a lot of people will find insensitive, but I found the story more of a toxic, Stockholm-Syndrome style deal more than anything.
6. Eternity 1 and 2: Eve and Eve: 5/5
My overall favorite from the bunch. A story about a love that strives to be eternal, but aside from that, it's best to go in blind.
