ジャッカス! ～触っていいって誰が言ったよ?～ [Jackass! - Sawatte Ii tte Dare… (2024)

I usually stay clear of ongoing manga (I can't handle the waiting period between chapter releases and I have this fear that the translations or story itself might stop midway).

But this was such an interesting manga and I loved everything about it so I had to stick with it and patiently wait for it to be completed. I would love more time with these characters. I feel there was plenty left for a second novel.

I was first drawn by the graphic. Clear lines and let's admit it... such pretty boys! And at the end of the first chapter, I loved the story too. We have Keisuke, protecting his only living family, his older sister, always doing the right thing, being good, going to school, working part time to bring more money. Shinoda, the rich high school with seemingly no care in the world but secretly having a fetish for defined legs in stockings. He is upfront about it and always stays clear of romantic complications. Katsumi, frank and in your face about his preference for men but who has true feelings for the teacher he is secretly dating.

I get weary sometimes that high school stories will have well... high school drama. And yet, I became attached to this group. It was interesting to see Katsumi wiggle his way into his boyfriend's heart and life, getting depressed when he thought he had been dumped, flirt with his colleague to blackmail him into silence (I did wonder if maybe the two of them would start something but alas, it wasn't meant to be). And our main heroes... how they advanced from friends and colleagues to partners in illicit behaviour, with Keisuke wearing pantyhose for Shinoda. And amidst those quick rendezvous, Keisuke discovers he has feelings for Shinoda. But it's not easy coming out, there is room for misunderstanding, feelings get hurt. But in the end, they manage to talk it out and have their happily ever after.

Definitely a manga I'd love to re-read! And hopefully discover a sequel.

2nd read was even better than the first. Found a much better translated version (and with additional pages too). Just love this manga!

Y Scarlet Beriko se posiciona como una de mis mangakas favoritas.
Hago una reseña en condiciones cuando en enero me llegue la edición de Tomodomo, aún así, con la de SuBLime en la mano, deciros que este manga merece mucho la pena. No os lo perdáis ;)

4'5 en realidad.

La verdad es que hacía bastante que no leía un yaoi tan bueno y mucho menos aún uno que me haya dejado con ganas de más.

The artwork is gorgeous, those abs and collarbones and jaw-lines are just so satisfying to behold. ;;v;;
More importantly, the leg-fetish thing got me going like:

This is tew much for my fangirl heart, so sensual, so cute and funny and damnn those legs. There were, of course, some misunderstandings and words that shouldn't have been said, but eventually, they made it through. I wasn't really into the seme at first, but in the end he turned out just fabulous and sweet, so okay.
And Katsumi is so cute, I wonder if there is any spin-off for him.
All hail Scarlet Beriko, this is such a good manga. ;;v;;

A pair of pantyhose accidentally worn reveals a secret fetish!

Jackass! is such a funny and hot manga. I highly recommend it if you're looking for something light to read. The characters are all interesting, even the supporting ones, and the way the plot developed was exciting enough.

4/5stars

I’m not used to reading manga, but my best friend is trying to get me to like them, so here we are. It was quite good, actually. It was fun and a light reading (tho I still struggle with the drawing style and reading form right to left, but that’s obviously my fault).

Finished rereading; wow it's been so long since I first read this manga. Decided to read it again because I saw it while cleaning my bookshelf this weekend and I still enjoyed it as much as I did when I first read it. 🤍

I love Scaberi and I'm looking forward to more high school-themed BLs from her. 🤍 Hopefully Sublime gets to license the spin-off featuring Miyoshi soon 🙏🏻

Nunca había leído manga y encontré éste en la biblioteca , vi las buenas reseñas y me dije. Vamos a intentarlo!!
Me costó horrores leer de atrás para adelante, de izquierda a derecha, recordar los nombres y finalmente claudiqué al 50% porque hasta en las ilustraciones, que por cierto me encantaron, me liaba con los personajes.
Quizás empecé por un"nivel" muy alto para principiantes, mi hija me ha prestado uno más simple que dice que es fácil...ya contaré...
Lo siento MaDo e Izengabe, quizás me pilla demasiado mayor para esto ...!!!!

Fetish is the great equalizer.

No, seriously. It really is. It doesn't matter one's wealth, occupation, social status, or perceived (assumed) orientation or alignment of sex or gender . . . a single kinky inclination can subvert all manner of one's comprehension of how human relations are supposed to function. Does this mean that perversion, by extension, is relative? Perhaps, but JACKASS doesn't go that route. Rather, the boys'-love manga sticks to the formula of two childhood friends whom upon stumbling into a funny and intimate bit of foreplay, can't help but slowly-but-surely go all of the way.

Keisuke Hara is persistent, athletic, and proud. He's also kind of poor, and he relies on his outgoing older sister, Akiko, and his gregarious neighbor, Katsumi, to fill in the gaps when he gets too focused on survival and doesn't pay enough attention to enjoying his youth.

Masayuki Shinoda is laid back, a womanizer, and filthy rich. He also has a fetish for feet/legs, and an even deeper affection for pantyhose.

JACKASS posits Keisuke and Masayuki as childhood friends whom have drifted apart but are tossed back into one another's arms as high school nears its end. Indeed, it's in gym class when Keisuke tosses on his sweatpants only to tearfully discover his alcoholic sister left her hosiery in them. Surely, the guy is doomed to ridicule from his fellow peers. But that's when Masayuki arrives.

Faking illness? Check. Stumbling into the nurse's office to avoid embarrassment? Check. Learning your mega-rich childhood buddy wants to nip and nuzzle your pantyhose-clad legs before you take off the hosiery? Um, check?

Boys sure are troublesome, aren't they?

This comic is more enjoyable for its frank, back-and-forth humor than for its inevitable bickering-turned-consummation, which happens a lot in yaoi comics. Keisuke is more uptight than his rich friend. Masayuki bottles things up more effectively than his straight-laced cohort. And then there's the hilariously bold Katsumi, an effeminate classmate whose side story regards an affair with an older man, as well as Katsumi's ambitious yanking of another classmate out of the closet.

JACKASS doesn't spend a lot of time on Masayuki's fetish for hosiery, but the author does finagle the young man's kink into a handful of situations that suitably drive the story forward . . . which is the best one can hope for. That the characters frequently bicker and berate one another over shortcomings other than those related to perversion and sexuality makes the comic a comfortable young-adult romp that slowly and casually bleeds into a more serious, more genuine, almost-love-story.

Crying over a lover who leaves without saying a word? Arguing over whether to come out of the closet quietly or while screaming? Worried about the strain of one's newly discovered sexuality on existing family relations? JACKASS is a quick-moving manga, but it's full, and it touches on each of these topics. Beriko's art does a lot with a little, and treats all of its characters with the concomitant respect, frivolity, and comical you-should-know-better sensitivities one can only hope exists somewhere in the real world.

Innamorarsi di un volume unico è difficile, i personaggi difficilmente riescono ad essere incisivi abbastanza da farsi amare dal lettore.
L’eccezione che conferma la regola è questo yaoi della sensei Beriko, dove a momenti di pura ilarità (scaturiti da discorsi di un realismo sconvolgente) si alternano intense scene di adolescenti inquieti che si stanno scoprendo e affacciando al mondo adulto.
L’amicizia, l’accettazione di sé e del prossimo, la famiglia, il senso del dovere e l’amore sono scandagliati con una naturalezza che solo una buona autrice riesce a trasmettere.
I disegni sono un altro punto a favore, hanno linee chiare e pulite oltre che buone proporzioni. Sono presenti scene di sesso esplicite.

…………. 4.5 stars ………….

This was so much funnier then I thought it would be. I loved that it didn’t take itself super seriously and that it also dealt with some heavier topics (hom*ophobia, student/teacher relationships, kinks, etc.). This was also more spicy then I thought it would be (I don’t know why I thought that, given the synopsis and that it’s rated M, but somehow I did 🤦‍♀️), and I loved it so much.

I loved that Keisuke and Masayuki were just kind of orbiting around each other until something happened to set them off. I liked that this dealt with both of them coming to realize their feelings for each other. And getting to explore their sexualities together! Another thing that I loved about this manga was the secondary romance and the secondary characters. Katsumi and Aramaki’s storyline was really interesting and I wish it was explored further.

I really enjoyed this one and I wish there was more content for it! This one is getting four and a half stars. It was just so much fun to read!

3.5. It was ok. Amazing artwork and the story was cute. I’m hoping there will be another volume for another couple in the story.

I'm really loving this mangaka.
The relationships are real and beautiful (the familial and romantic alike).
I laughed and cried. I wish there was more to the story.

Este manga es pura delicia.
La edición de Tomodomo es preciosa y la traducción de diez.

Liked most of the chars, though sometimes a bit hard to tell them apart visually. Ended up being less p*rny than it looked like on a thumb through, but still too p*rny for me.

4.5 stars

The art is great and the characters are amazing.

Review coming soon!

4.5 Recensione su Chibiistheway
Uno dei migliori Boy's Love letti ultimamente! Non fatevi fregare dalle premesse un po' "sciocche", merita molto.

Why did this have to be so good. I want to cry because it was so cute. I want more of all these characters. I want to know where ALL the relationships go. I could read multiple volumes with these guys through the ups and downs. Like. For reals. So perfect. Instantly going to go back and reread my favourite scenes 😍🥰

hot. i shouldn’t read stuff like that at the bus stop tho

YOur basic Yaoi story; Fun, sexy ! ! !

4 stars. Yaoi. Blushes of heat, but cant look away. 😳🧐😶

3,5 stelline che arrotondo a 4

Devo dire che me lo ricordavo mooolto peggio. Non so perché mi ero messa in testa l'idea che fosse orribile. Anche se lo avevo già letto per oscuri motivi mi sembrava fosse orrido e invece... mi è piaciuto. Mi sento pure di arrotondare a 4 le stelline...
Non è sicuramente un manga così approfondito, con storie mozzafiato ma fa il suo dovere. Mi ha intrattenuto e i personaggi sono molto carini. Mi sono piaciuti tutti e, anche se nel mio cuore continuo a sperare in un volume sequel per raccontare meglio le storie delle due coppiette secondarie, mi sento di consigliarlo :) Non ricordo (e non ho la sbatta di rileggere cosa avevo scritto in passato) ma se lo avete tra le mani mi sento di consigliarvelo. Forse non è una di quelle opere indispensabili nella vostra libreria ma di certo non sfigura neanche :D Una lettura carina e con alcuni spunti interessanti. Si poteva sicuramente fare di più ma anche così può piacere :D

Lettura 2020:

Mi aspettavo di meglio. Un manga godibile e con bei disegni che però... non mi ha trasmesso molto. Keisuke e Masayuki nonostante siano i protagonisti sono poco approfonditi, l'inizio della loro storia è abbastanza no sense e pure quando si mettono effettivamente insieme come coppia dopo un problema di incomprensione e l'altro...non hanno quella passione o intimità tipica di altre coppie. Semplicemente Masayuki ha il kink per i collant e le belle gambe... oh, che caso il migliore amico etero ha le gambe lunghe e per sbaglio ha indossato i collant della sorella... yeah... w l'amore! La storia è tutto un "Mi sa che mi innamoro dei collant del mio migliore amico... ehm... del mio migliore amico" "Omg mi sa che mi innamoro del mio migliore amico anche se feticista e stronzetto" yeah... che originalità...Seriamente... so che parlando di manga non sempre le storie narrate hanno senso ma almeno c'è un po' più di introspezione nella coppia e l'escamotage per far mettere insieme i due piccioncini passa in secondo piano con il tempo dando spazio a momenti teneri, innamoramenti un po' forzati ma spesso dolci qui...meh. Oltre alla storia tra i due studenti possiamo trovare altre due storie in background decisamente più interessanti e ahimè ridotte all'osso. Avrei apprezzato sapere di più sulla storia di Haruomi con i suoi problemi di omofobia dovuti al suo mancato coming out e all'attrazione per il compagno di scuola Katsumi, avrei voluto capire come il ragazzo era stato costretto a venire a patti con la sua sessualità, vedere il suo percorso di "redenzione" per i problemi causati con il suo comportamento e scoprire qualcosa in più sul suo avvicinamento con il dolce e furbetto Hosaka. Avrei anche voluto conoscere qualche dettaglio in più sul dottor Aramaki e sulle sue insicurezze nel vivere una relazione clandestina con uno studente. Due storie che promettevano una maggiore intensità e che potevano portare a un'opera più complessa mentre invece... ci si focalizza sulla commediola romantica tra due liceali innamorati e testardi, una storia ahimè già vista e rivista in tutte le salse. Consigliato a chi vuole qualcosa di leggero da leggere ma...non aspettatevi certo miracoli! Sicuramente c'è di meglio da leggere e comprare in giro

10.2017:

Zu allererst muss ich sagen, dass die Beschreibung auf dem Buchrücken wirklich irreführend ist. Für mich liest sich der Text so, als sei das Tragen der Strumpfhose eine Art Rachakt Keisukes an seiner Schwester, oder eine Trotzreaktion von ihm. Tatsächlich ist es aber so, dass Akiko sich Keisukes Jogginghose borgt, sich diese über ihre Strumpfhose zieht, die sie zu dem Zeitpunkt trägt und dann die Jogginghose, samt Strumpfhose auszieht als sie schlafen geht. Keisuke, der am Morgen in Eile ist, schnappt sich die Jogginghose, zieht sie zum Sportunterricht an und schlüpft somit, zunächst unbemerkt, gleichzeitig in Strumpf- und Jogginghose. Natürlich ist es, so wie ich es hier beschreibe, nicht für einen Klappentext geeignet, aber wäre nicht ein einfacher Satz wie, "Durch einen dummen Zufall trägt Keisuke plötzlich die Nylons seiner Schwester und wird von seinem Freund aus der misslichen Lage befreit." besser gewesen?
Davon mal abgesehen, waren die Geschichte und die Charaktere. Wir haben Keisuke, der noch nie verliebt war und seine Freunde Katsumi und Masayuki. Katsumi ist offen schwul und in den Schularzt verliebt, der allerdings diesbezüglich eher zurückhaltend ist. Masayuki ist ein Frauenheld, der, wie sich dann aber herausstellt, viel mehr einen Fetisch für hübsche Beine in Nylonstrumpfhosen hat, als sich für den Menschen in den Strumpfhosen zu interessieren und immer einen Rückzieher macht, sobald Gefühle ins Spiel kommen. Nachdem Masayuki Keisuke aus der Patsche hilft, beginnen die beiden eine Art Beziehung. Masayuki darf Keisuke in Strumpfhosen bewundern, und Keisuke merkt, dass er sich von Masayukis Berührungen angezogen fühlt und verliebt sich in ihn. Dann ist da noch Miyoshi, der Katsumi moppt, weil er mit seiner Sexualität so offen umgehen kann. Dies lässt Katsumi vermuten, dass Miyoshi ebenfalls schwul ist, dies aber nicht ausleben kann und somit seine Wut darüber an Katsumi auslässt.

Leider leiden die Geschichte und auch die Charaktere darunter, dass hier mehrere Handlungsstränge gleichzeitig laufen und oftmals der Fokus nicht lang genug oder stark genug auf einem Handlungsstrang bleibt. Hinzukommt, dass der Erzählstil ziemlich flott ist - ein paar Panels mehr hier und dort, wären vielleicht hilfreich gewesen. Vielleicht wäre auch ein zweiter Band gut gewesen um die Geschichte etwas zu entschleunigen.

Kei-chan vive con su hermana, que se desvive por cuidar de él y le da toda la libertad del mundo. Shinoda es un chico que proviene de una familia adinerada pero está harto de que le juzguen por ello. Los dos son compañeros de clase pero no tienen una amistad.

Un dia, Kei-chan se pone sin querer unas medias de su hermana y Shinoda que le ve le lleva corriendo a la enfermería, donde le confiesa su fetiche por las piernas y las medias y asi ambos establecen una rarisima relación con tintes sexuales.

2/10

Este manga me decepcionó mucho. No fue lo que yo esperaba. Es más, creo que la mangaka tuvo una idea original pero no supo desarrollarla de un modo que no fuera tonto y ridiculo.

Es una historia muy normalita y ordinaria, que no destaca por nada. Me costó leerla porque a veces perdía todo el interes. Es una historia sin equilibrio.

Kei-chan me gustó, fue un chico adorable que merecía mucho amor y un principe. Él se enamora mucho y se siente profundamente confundido porque jamas se habria imaginado enamorarse de un chico o sentirse excitado porque este estúpido chico, su amor unilateral, le besara las piernas.

Shinoda no me gustó nada. Fue todo un capullo. Solo iba y venía como le daba la gana. Nunca llegó a enamorarse de Kei-chan, solo de su puñetero fetiche. Fue un personaje odioso, ¡y lo odié! Además, tiene un tinte oscuro que no me gusta.

Las ilustraciones me parecen feas. No tiene un arte hermoso, lo que tampoco ayuda a la obra.

Me he quedado sin ganas de volver a leer a la mangaka Scarlet Beriko.

Antes de inciar: no estoy evaluando de la misma forma al manga que a los libros. Empezando que no sé si un manga entra en la categoría de literatura. Sin embargo repito: no soy experto en manga pero intentaré opinar sobre los dibujos, los personajes, y la línea temática.

Jackass! es el primer manga que leo de Scarlet Beriko pero debo decir que he visto varios capítulos de yaoi -diferentes historias- y generalmente son similares. Ahora bien, sobre este volumen los dibujos son muy buenos, hay viñetas que te matan de risa; sin embargo, cuando hay cuestiones panorámicas es difícil ubicar qué cosa es. Los personajes son entrañables, pero de nuevo: son los personajes modelo. El uke es tímido, retraído, introvertido; el seme es temerario, simpático y encantador. Las otras dos parejas son el mismo arquetipo. Lo más interesante de la temática es el fetichismo con las medias y la amistad/atracción sexual.

Me encanta pero no podría darle más de 3 estrellas. Vale la pena leerlo, es divertido.

I did not expect to like this as much as I did. It was oddly respectful for its theme and didn't trade in a lot of the genre's harmful stereotypes.

Full review eventually appearing on ANN.

This really suffers from the “every hom*ophobic guy is secretly gay” trope, I can’t.

Ein Manga, der mir überraschend gut gefallen hat! Wahrscheinlich sogar der beste Boys Love Manga, der mir bisher untergekommen ist.
Zuerst sah es für mich so aus, als würde es bloß um den Strumpfhosenfetisch des einen Protagonisten gehen, worum dann viele sexy Szenen gesponnen werden... Zum Glück war dem nicht so.
Stattdessen hat mich eine extrem witzige und charmante Story erwartet, die sogar mehrere Handlungsstränge aufweisen konnte. Anfangs hat es mich etwas gestört, dass so viel nebeneinander passiert ist, aber bald hatte ich alle Charaktere auf individuelle Weise ins Herz geschlossen und wusste gar nicht, welche Storyline ich am liebsten verfolgen wollte.
Ich denke aber, mein Lieblingscharakter war der feminine Charakter, der viele tolle Facetten hatte, treu und liebevoll und so selbstbewusst war. Ich mochte ihn wirklich so sehr. Aber auch die anderen Jungs und auch Keisukes Schwester waren herrliche Charaktere. Wobei es mir teilweise manchmal schwer fiel, die ganzen Jungs auseinanderzuhalten, weil es doch so einige waren. Und dann auch noch mit so vielen verschiedenen Haarfarben. Und dann waren sie auch noch alle irgendwie schwul. Was ich eigentlich ok fand und für die Story auch echt cool. Aber ein paar hetero-Charas hätten das ganze doch ein bisschen glaubwürdiger gemacht.
Doch alles in allem mochte ich die Story wirklich unglaublich gerne. Sie war so viel witziger als erwartet. Ich habe den Humor einfach geliebt! Und das muss man erstmal schaffen, dass die Erotik in einem Manga, in dem es um einen Fetisch geht, hinter dem Humor in der Geschichte zurücktritt. Selbst die sexy Szenen waren von Humor durchzogen ohne dass das ganze ins Lächerliche gezogen wurde. Eine Gratwanderung, die der Autorin extrem gut gelungen ist!
Perfekt fand ich auch Länge und Tempo der Geschichte. Die Länge von ca. 240 Seiten war wirklich perfekt! Ich liebe ja Einzelbände bei Mangas und ich wünschte, es gäbe mehr wie diese hier, die solch ein perfektes Tempo haben, wo man nicht das Gefühl hat, die Story sei zu gehetzt.
Dann zum Zeichenstil... anfangs ist er mir weder positiv noch negativ aufgefallen. Doch dann habe ich immer wieder besonders detailverliebte, filigrane Zeichnungen gefunden, an denen ich mich erfreuen konnte. Ja, und man muss schon sagen, dass die Figuren alle wunderschön aussehen.
Insgesamt kann ich also kaum etwas Negatives zu diesem Manga sagen, außer dass ich eine Charakterübersicht am Anfang ganz hilfreich gefunden hätte, um zu wissen, wer wer ist und v.a. wer wie heißt. Denn mit den Namen hatte ich auch so meine Probleme.
Dennoch habe ich sehr, sehr viel Spaß an dem Manga gehabt und habe mich immer gefreut, ihn zur Hand zu nehmen. Es war wirklich bisher der beste Manga aus diesem Genre (auch wenn ich bisher noch nicht viele BL-Reihen gelesen habe). Ich schaue mir auf jeden Fall noch weitere Werke der Autorin an! :)
