Aki Sora: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

''Aki Sora'' (あきそら, lit. Autumn Sky) is a [[Manga]] series written and illustrated by Masahiro Itosugi. It greatly resembles four chapters of the [[Hentai]] title ''Oneechan no Onegai'' which was written by the same author, but is [[Ecchi|not as explicit]].

 

Has a [[Spiritual Successor]] in ''[[Uwakoi]]'', which has a similar premise, albeit with the incestuous bits filed off.

----

* [[Accidental Pornomancer]]

* [[Author Appeal]]: The crossdressing and incest elements.

* [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]]: The lack of genital details is the only thing keeping this from being a full-fledged hentai.

* [[Body Paint]]: Chapter 11 -- {{spoiler|Runa}} goes to the pool with a painted-on bikini.

* [[Can't Hold His Liquor]]: If chapter 6 is any indicator, Sora's alcohol tolerance is practically nil.

* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Runa's [[Odd Friendship]] with Sora ''drastically'' expanded the horizons of his sexual-identity.

* [[Date Peepers]]: Nami to Sora and Kana in chapter 7.

* [[Deconstruction]]: A rather brutal one of how most hentai/ecchi manga portray incest. Usually, it is portrayed as guilt free and sexy. This manga, while often making the second half true as long as the incest part doesn't bother you, really goes into detail how much the characters are wracked with guilt and fear of being discovered, playing it for as much drama and angst as possible. Also, the sex is also portrayed as disturbing at times, partially due to some of the characters being rather [[Cute and Psycho]], and partially because the male protagonist is often a rather tragic case of [[The Chew Toy]].

* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Sora looks a ''lot'' like Nami, so much so that when they were young, even ''their mother'' had a hard time telling them apart... even when naked. In chapter 20 Runa is able to pass him off as female to the art class teacher just by having him wear her uniform.

* [[Dysfunction Junction]]: This makes [[David Lynch]]'s ''[[Blue Velvet]]'' seem like ''[[Pleasantville]]'' in comparison.

* [[Hair Decorations]]: Toyed with. Nami normally wears her hair up to differentiate herself from Sora, but when she really wants to get {{spoiler|Kana's}} attention, she lets her hair down to make the resemblance STRONGER. On the flipside, Sora sometimes finds himself sporting a set when the various girls force him to crossdress.

* [[Fan Service]]

* [[Hot Springs Episode]]: Chapter 5.

* [[Ho Yay]]: [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/aki_sora/v04/c018/6.html Sometimes Miharu and Sora look awkward].

* [[Love Dodecahedron]]

* [[Naked First Impression]]: How Sora first meets Runa. Turns out she's like that all the time.

* [[Oh Crap]]: A variation; Runa was in the ecstatic throes of a climax as she loses her virginity to a total-stranger in Chapter 6... only to freeze in abject-horror when she remembers too-late that ''sex gets you ''' pregnant''' '' as she ''suddenly'' felt the heat of '''his''' climax pouring into her womb.....

* [[Plot Armor|Plot Condom]]: Why else would Sora be able to have sex with women so many times without impregnating at least one of them?

* [[Public Exposure]]: Runa in chapter 20, modeling nude for an art class.

* [[Psycho Lesbian]]: Nami in chapter 8. After [[Matchmaker Crush|the date she set Sora and Kana up on]] goes far beyond her expectations, she {{spoiler|confronts Sora that evening, shoves him down, stops just shy of cutting off his penis with some scissors ("Hey...can I have this?"), rapes him while fantasizing that she has a penis and is fucking Kana, and threatens afterward to cut his penis off for real if he ever tells anyone}}.

* [[Scars Are Forever]]: Played with in chapter 17. One of the things that makes Sora start doubting that {{spoiler|their mother is really who she says she is}} is that he vaguely remembers her having a burn on her arm from being scalded when Sora was a toddler, which seems to have vanished, only to be put at ease since he forgot which arm was scalded. {{spoiler|Aki, however, knew the truth - their aunt scalded herself to simulate the scar... on the wrong (i.e., right) arm.}}

* [[Sibling Triangle]]: [[Triang Relations]] type 11, with Kana, Sora and Nami. Kana is Nami's best friend [[Love At First Sight|who fell for Sora ever sine their first encounter]]; Sora's affection towards Nami seems one-sided, while he [[Unwanted Harem|likes Kana (but likes Aki more)]]; and Nami has a [[Matchmaker Crush]] on Kana. {{spoiler|It seems to have turned into a type 8, as Nami is [[Defrosting Ice Queen|warming up toward Sora]] after raping him...and proceeds to have consensual [[Twincest]] sex}}.

* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: From Miharu, ahem, "Catherine", "Dama Tower", etc. all the more disturbing with desu at the end of every sentence.

* [[Unwanted Harem]]: Sora's, and it only seems to grow with each new character introduced.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Standard for the girls' school uniform.

 

* [[Broken Masquerade]]: In chapter 17, Sora begins doubting that their mother is really who she says she is (see [[Scars Are Forever]] above). Aki, on the other hand, has apparently known the truth for some time but hides it to protect Sora. {{spoiler|When we see Sora in the final scene, it's clear that he's been made aware of what happened to his mother}}.

* [[Not So Different]]: While using Sora and Aki's forbidden relationship as an excuse to take the latter away, it later turns out that their old man is their mother's biological brother.

* [[Replacement Goldfish]]: Turns out the Aoi siblings' mother had a twin sister. Guess which one died in a car accident?

* [[Sequel Hook]]: While on face value the resolution of this tale is one where Aki and Sora platonically break up, on closer inspection the author leaves us with ''all'' the (heterosexual) relationships reset-to-zero, unresolved and ambiguous; leaving Sora free to pursue ''anyone'' in his "harem." Though this is only a fleeting hope until if/when Bill 156 is dissolved.
