Love Pistols manga (also known as Sex Pistols)

Warning: The following is about yaoi XO If that is not your cup of tea then I suggest running for the hills. Even though I am not going to post anything rated R pictures I feel as if there should be some warning. Sad that one does not have to warn for straight sex or boobies. CHANGE PEOPLE! Let’s change the world one mind at a time.

So after that random opening what am I going to talk about? The manga Sex Pistols. Or Love Pistols depending on what version you are reading. Try to search Sex Pistols and you aren’t going to get ANY information. Search Love Pistols and you will get….the world’s tiniest amount of info. Go us!!!

Spoiler alert: someone gets thrown from a building. And they marry their attacker!!!

But yes. Spoilers for the manga Love Pistols and all that in details. XD

Oh okay. It all makes sense now.

Brief Synopsis of the manga: 30% of humans are not descended from apes but from other animals. These humans refer to themselves as Madarame. There are different levels of seed and desirability between the different species. Males can also become pregnant and carry babies to term. One day Norio’s normal high school life is crumbled when everyone starts looking like animals and trying to molest him. Things get even weirder when an upper classman takes particular interest in him. The story follows Norio as he finds out he is a special kind of Madarama and how he is now tied to Kunimasa and his huge ass family. Oh and everyone is gay. The end.

The details...just so many details.

My first issue with this manga is…the characters. I spent most of the time super confused. If it wasn’t the amount of characters it was the characters looking super familiar with one another. After a while it was just a blend of huge men and tiny boys. Some had blond hair and some had dark hair. It really reminded me of Our Kingdom. All the characters looked so similar and it gave me a headache trying to keep them straight.

I wish I had 4 dads and two moms too. Sounds amazing.

So on top of everyone looking alike most of the main characters are related to each other. And not in the traditional ways of my dad slept with someone else so we are half-brothers. No it is more like everyone has the same MOM and she went out and had all these relationships. Oh and two of her partners also hooked and had a baby too. So everyone is related and the concept of mom and dad are out the window. Which in any other instance I would be happy. But since I am already confused on WHO people are good luck on me remembering who belongs to who.

Um that is a man. That is your husband.

There are those two issues. Then there is the matter of referring to males as women. I have no problem with that if that is what the person wants to be referred to as. I do have a problem with it when someone is referred to in a gender they do not identify with. I also have a problem when someone is getting called out of their gender and are being referred to as a woman in a possessive way. As if being a woman automatically means you are lower on the food chain and you BELONG to someone. So it pisses me off as someone who thinks calling someone out of their preferred gender is wrong and it pisses me off that men are being called women because basically they are belongings.

Still...no. Just no.

Of course this issue and the whole…..really, REALLY sleeping around issue might not be a big deal considering the kind of world most of the characters live in. Not Norio of course but many of the other characters. They have a closer ties to their animal selves and animals don't have silly moral issues. Their main goal IS making more of them and protecting the babies. Protecting the baby makers and proving who is the strongest. So maybe in this universe the behavior of the animal people is more understandable?

But does that really make sense since it was commented that the other animal people are trying to cut back on their numbers. I can’t remember where it was said but it was said. So if they are trying to cut back on the numbers can we really explain this heavy seed business? I don’t know.

Violence is so sexy.

This ALL being said…XO where were my sex scenes?! Norio and Kunimasa were having…issues if you would. But what about the other people? But what about Shiro and Yonekuni? We had two scenes of them hasing the sex and that is it. And the first scene Yonekuni was apparently not awake. But after that NOTHING. So the two main pairings are not having sex and most of the time not even touching. How is this a yaoi manga? XO GIVE ME THE SEX!!!!

With all of this being said….I do have to say Love Pistols is pretty….unique. I know the concept of humans not evolving from apes isn’t a new one but the thought of people evolving from snakes and panthers certainly is. Of course the idea of bears trying to have sex with cats may be a little X__X but at least the idea is new if the art work is lacking, there isn’t enough sex, and everyone is having off camera sex with everyone.

You had me at hello?

I felt bad for Norio in most of the chapters I read. Really I guess all of the brothers had weird upbringings with like 45 parents involved so maybe it was hard for them to love and stuff. But Norio thought he was growing crazy, was nearly molested by everyone in the world, and “fell in love” with some crazy fool who said hello with his penis/sperm. Really I am not sure how he is still alive in regards to all this crap. Oh and then he is told if he doesn’t pass some animal test he has to be locked up forever. STUFF OF DREAMS.

So overall….I guess I wasn’t that impressed with this manga. Which is sad because I was checking it out because of the OVA news. The overall plot is very weird and unique but the art was not my style. It was hard to tell the characters apart. And after so many chapters I wanted the main characters to actual have love in their hearts and not still all this doubt and insisting it was just for the seed or something. Factor in the new creepy sky dragon thingy animal and I am like…no. No thank you. My yaoi needs smutty scenes and eventual love. XD Because I am so romantic ya’ll.
