Reading manga, getting depressed

[elfs]

The other day I found a delightful dickgirl hentai manga entitled Your Name Gets Me Off in which not only were the traditional roles of seme and uke completely ignored, but the male character actually went down on the futanari character and did not get raped for it by the end of the story. Sadly, it usually is the case in futanari stories that a man/futanari pairing almost always results in the futanari on bottom and a woman/futanari pairing always results in the woman on the bottom-- the "most male" character "wins," and a male character eager to go down on dick-- even dickgirl dick-- is almost surely going to be nonconsensually and brutally victimized by the end of the story. Pleasantly, in this case the futanari was simply the delicious center of a threesome with no ill-will among any of the characters. Yay!

This was a wonderful surprise, given how much crap there is out there. This season, the theme for victims has been mostly wuxia heroines being punished for being female. Which really sucks because I happen to like wuxia, too.

Woot! I'm adding this post to Memories so I can look up the manga. ^_^ Completely abnormally awesome. :)

How sad is this? Our standards are so low that we're actually pleased to find a manga in which the character does something outside the heterosexual norm and doesn't get hurt for it?

Yeah, pretty much. I think it comes from having a deep and abiding love for the 'manga' style while at the same time not keying into the odd cultural cues that are so ubiquitous in the porn versions of it. I mean, does anyone else have trouble finding female characters who do not have to be initially coerced into sex one way or another? For a while it seemed like the authors were collectively unclear on the concept of women enjoying sex at all, ya know?

That being said, I would like to look at this sometime; do you happen to know the Japanese title? Searching for the English title only gives me your LJ. :)
