declaired 's review for:
Twittering Birds Never Fly, Vol. 1
by Kou Yoneda
This cover showed up on my radar because I'm on CS Pacat's mailing list and was highly recommended; I'm weak and trashy, I bought it.
(TW: this manga deals frequently with/is generally irresponsible abt sexual abuse trauma, although not in the typical "rape as love" category)
The manga chapters aren't entirely usual, in that they tend to alternate flashbacks (sometimes with different main characters, although they are all player characters in the same yakuza universe) with the main plot/love story of Yashiro and Doumeki.
For a series that is ostensibly so focused on sex, it's the tender moments and the aesthetics that really take up the majority of the page. The art is gorgeous and occasionally daring (in angle and form), in pursuit of the sensual rather than the sexual.
My favorite story is the first one we get between Kuga & Kageyama-- it's a good introduction to the world (and to Yashiro!)-- as well as having some of my favorite panels & scenes (also, perhaps pettily, the love story is short and RESOLVED)
