Intoxicated by Changpei Literature

[reviews_and_ramblings]

 

Omega Shen Tingwei wakes up after a traffic accident and soon realizes something is very wrong. The people around him have no idea what an omega is, the local pharmacy doesn't carry his heat suppressants, and no one - including the doctor at the nearest hospital - seems to understand the reason he is feverish and giving off the scent of wine is that he's going into heat. Enter Lian Jue, a wealthy man with Emotional Deprivation Disorder who is struggling to balance running his company, appeasing his difficult family, and caring for his adopted son, Kangtong. When he encounters the heat-drunk Shen Tingwei staggering around the city and saves him from getting hit by yet another vehicle, the two men soon become entangled in each other's lives. Shen Tingwei is lost and helpless in a world not his own, and Lian Jue can't help but be drawn to the intoxicating stranger...

My Rate: 8

For being a Chinese manhua, Intoxicated is pretty sexy; of course the sex is not explicit, but at least it was not totally erased. Said that the story is a mix of comedy and emotional romance, meaning that the romance is not all easy and peachy, but at least it's always clear from the first episodes that these two are a couple and are trying to reach a level where their love can develop peacefully. Really nice graphic (Chinese are top on this) and the mix between chibi and ordinary characters are good and not disappointing. Sometime I found the introduction of Chibi like an intrusion, but not in this case.
