Review: Poison Cherry Drive (PCD) is a single volume serialized in Hanaoto and licensed by Kitty Media back when dinosaurs still roamed the earth. To summarize, it is a yaoi version of Gintama with an art style reminiscent of Detroit Metal City. This may seem to be an odd description, but that’s exactly what this manga is: odd.
Story: The manga is centered around a jack-of-all-trades group who will take on any job. Their first task was to kidnap a man and rape him as revenge for their client. And that was about as normal as it gets. It only gets crazier with each page, and by the end, the only possible conclusion is that everyone is crazy. Literally.
… Yeah. Since there’s not much of a plot, let’s move on.
Art: For those of you unfamiliar with Detroit Metal City, suffice it to say if you’re looking for your pretty boys (i.e. Kanda Neko or Aya Sakyo), you’ve strayed far, far, far, farrrrrr from your path. This is the author of Dog Style, but I think she was on drugs when she drew this one. Every now and then, Motoni-sensei throws in a distorted facial expression that completely kills any sexual tension in the story and shrivels up penises. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to laugh or to masturbate. Or maybe both.
In conclusion, I’m not really sure what I was reading when I flipped through this book. It started out with a vague existence of a plot, but even that slipped through my fingers as I continued to read. But what it lacks in storyline, it makes up for with unique style and humor. For those who love crack yaoi or are simply high on crack, this is the manga for you!
