Two Kinds
Posted: Wed Mar 31, 2010 1:58 pm
I had really hoped to not have to recommend this one, but I'm running out of web comics now... so, it's Two Kinds.
As a warning, it's... very PG-13. And furry. Very naked tiger girl. A lot. But... she's got fur so it's ok, right? There's heavy dosages of fanservice, but nothing overtly... explicit. So yeah.
First off, the art is amazing. The early pages, obviously, are pretty average, but the current art is pretty darn impressive.
And the characters are great. Keith and Natani especially. Of course, you have to read pretty far in to know why... yeah, they're pretty much the only reason I've kept reading this comic for so long. I found it a long, long time ago, kept following it for Keith, but somewhat halfheartedly. And then the Natani plot twist happened...
Yeah, the thing here is? The main plot... sucks. It's a generic "forbidden love" story kinda thing. I mean, unless you count the, "RAR IMMA CRAZY TEMPLAR" thing as the main plot, in which case it's not so bad, but for a lot of it that's treated as a sub-plot... in which case I can say confidently, every single sub-plot is better than the main plot on every level. Which sucks. But the sub plots were good enough to keep me reading the whole time, at least.
So yeah. I have... mixed feelings for Two Kinds, but on the whole it's not bad. Keith and Natani. That's all it needs.
Spoilers, don't read this unless you've at least gotten to Chapter 9:
I know this seems out of character, but my favorite page ever was... this one. Mostly because I just thought it was a cool scene that exposed the epic relationship Keith and Natani have. Because there's one thing that all, and I mean all Reverse Trap stories have in common that really pisses me off. The Reverse Traps gets a crush... and instantly goes all girly-mushy-lovey-deredere, completely ruins the character, and God, that... doesn't happen! When a tomboy/Reverse Trap falls in love, they don't just instantly turn into a girl! That's totally wrong! Which is why I appreciate these two so much, because Natani still has a spine. And this page proved it. Also, because... God, I know that situation. I have been there in a way none of you could ever understand... I wish I had just said it. All the trouble we could have avoided...
