Okay, so I don't normally write reviews for anime, usually the summary can tell you the gist of it anyways, but this anime is different. Papa to kiss in the dark is a literal roller coaster. I would be surprised if the person who created it wasn't on something the entire time it was in the making, but that's not to say that it's bad or anything. It honestly has a good plot (kinda), and if you can get over the fact that the two main character's are related then it's actually a really sweet relationship. If you want my honest opinion if you're even a little bit curious then watch it. It's only like two episodes long so Yolo am I rite. (Don't mind that bit of cringe.) Maybe an hour of your time wasted is really worth this beautiful creation. And if you're looking at the reviews then you're probably not doing anything to productive anyways. I might have stumbled upon it by accident but God damn I don't regret it. Hopefully you won't either (or you will regret it. That's up to you.)
Papa to Kiss in the Dark and Gravitation both revolve around gay love. Though both are somewhat perverted in their own way (especially papa to kiss) the whole situation and set up is just what makes it so good. If you liked one you will like the other. For people who are very open to almost any kind of animes practically or for people or set on gay-love, romance, etc, then these two animes are the ones for you!
Papa To Kiss In The Dark Read Online
Both of these shounen-ai anime focus on more forbidden relationships. Both the central couples in these series consist of an older man and a school boy. If you want a show with boy love aplenty and comedic content then look no further than both Kirepapa and Papa to Kiss in the dark.
Of the books that I read at this time very few have quite faded frommemory, but not all have retained my love. Conan Doyle's Sir Nigel,which first set my mind upon "knights in armour", I have never feltinclined to reread. Still less would I now read Mark Twain's Yankee atthe Court of King Arthur, which was then my only source for theArthurian story, blissfully read for the sake of the romantic elementsthat came through and with total disregard of the vulgar ridiculedirected against them. Much better than either of these was E. Nesbit'strilogy, Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Wishing Carpet,and The Amulet. The last did most for me. It first opened my eyes toantiquity, the "dark backward and abysm of time". I can still re-read itwith delight. Gulliver in an unexpurgated and lavishly illustratededition was one of my favourites, and I pored endlessly over an almostcomplete set of old Punches which stood in my father's study. Tennielgratified my passion for "dressed animals" with his Russian Bear,British Lion, Egyptian Crocodile and the rest, while his slovenly andperfunctory treatment of vegetation confirmed my own deficiencies. Thencame the Beatrix Potter books, and here at last beauty.
Clop-clop-clop-clop... we are in a four-wheeler rattling over theuneven squaresets of the Belfast streets through the damp twilight of aSeptember evening, 1908; my father, my brother, and I. I am going toschool for the first time. We are in low spirits. My brother, who hasmost reason to be so, for he alone knows what we are going to, shows hisfeelings least. He is already a veteran. I perhaps am buoyed up by alittle excitement, but very little. The most important fact at themoment is the horrible clothes I have been made to put on. Only thismorning--only two hours ago--I was running wild in shorts and blazer andsandshoes. Now I am choking and sweating, itching too, in thick darkstuff, throttled by an Eton collar, my feet already aching withunaccustomed boots. I am wearing knickerbockers that button at the knee.Every night for some forty weeks of every year and for many a year I amto see the red, smarting imprint of those buttons in my flesh when Iundress. Worst of all is the bowler-hat, apparently made of iron, whichgrasps my head. I have read of boys in the same predicament who welcomedsuch things as signs of growing up; I had no such feeling. Nothing in myexperience had ever suggested to me that it was nicer to be a schoolboythan a child or nicer to be a man than a schoolboy. My brother nevertalked much about school in the holidays. My father, whom I implicitlybelieved, represented adult life as one of incessant drudgery under thecontinual threat of financial ruin. In this he did not mean to deceiveus. Such was his temperament that when he exclaimed, as he frequentlydid, "There'll soon be nothing for it but the workhouse," he momentarilybelieved, or at least felt, what he said. I took it all literally andhad the gloomiest anticipation of adult life. In the meantime, theputting on of the school clothes was, I well knew, the assumption of aprison uniform.
Sir W. ("Cousin Quartus") was the eldest of several brothers who ownedbetween them one of the most important industrial concerns in Belfast.He belonged in fact to just that class and generation of which themodern man gets his impressions through Galsworthy's Forsytes. UnlessCousin Quartus was very untrue to type (as he may well have been) thatimpression is grossly unjust. No one less like a Galsworthian characterever existed. He was gracious, childlike, deeply and religiously humble,and abounding in charity. No man could feel more fully hisresponsibility to dependants. He had a good deal of boyish gaiety abouthim; at the same time I always felt that the conception of dutydominated his life. His stately figure, his grey beard, and hisstrikingly handsome profile make up one of the most venerable images inmy memory. Physical beauty was indeed common to most of the family.Cousin Mary was the very type of the beautiful old lady, with her silverhair and her sweet Southern Irish voice; foreigners must be warned thatthis resembles what they call a "brogue" about as little as the speechof a Highland gentleman resembles the jargon of the Glasgow slums. Butit was the three daughters whom we knew best. All three were "grown up"but in fact much nearer to us in age than any other grown-ups we knew,and all three were strikingly handsome. H., the eldest and the gravest,was a Juno, a dark queen who at certain moments looked like a Jewess. K.was more like a Valkyrie (though all, I think, were good horse-women)with her father's profile. There was in her face something of thedelicate fierceness of a thoroughbred horse, an indignant fineness ofnostril, the possibility of an excellent disdain. She had what thevanity of my own sex calls a "masculine" honesty; no man ever was atruer friend. As for the youngest, G., I can only say that she was themost beautiful woman I have ever seen, perfect in shape and colour andvoice and every movement--but who can describe beauty? The reader maysmile at this as the far-off echo of a precocious calf-love, but he willbe wrong. There are beauties so unambiguous that they need no lens ofthat kind to reveal them; they are visible even to the careless andobjective eyes of a child. (The first woman who ever spoke to my bloodwas a dancing mistress at a school that will come in a later chapter.)
About half-way through my first and only term at Campbell I fell ill andwas taken home. My father, for reasons I do not quite know, had becomedissatisfied with the school. He had also been attracted by accounts ofa preparatory school in the town of Wyvern, though quite unconnectedwith Wyvern College; especially by the convenience that if I went theremy brother and I could still do the journey together. Accordingly I hada blessed six weeks at home, with the Christmas holidays to look forwardto at the end and, after that, a new adventure. In a surviving letter myfather writes to my brother that I think myself lucky but he "fears Ishall be very lonely before the end of the week". It is strange thathaving known me all my life he should have known me so little. Duringthese weeks I slept in his room and was thus freed from solitude duringmost of those dark hours in which alone solitude was dreadful to me. Mybrother being absent, he and I could not lead one another into mischief;there was therefore no friction between my father and myself. I rememberno other time in my life of such untroubled affection; we were famouslysnug together. And in the days, when he was out, I entered with completesatisfaction into a deeper solitude than I had ever known. The emptyhouse, the empty, silent rooms, were like a refreshing bath after thecrowded noise of Campbell. I could read, write, and draw to my heart'scontent. Curiously enough it is at this time, not in earlier childhood,that I chiefly remember delighting in fairy tales. I fell deeply underthe spell of Dwarfs--the old bright-hooded, snowy-bearded dwarfs we hadin those days before Arthur Rackham sublimed, or Walt Disney vulgarised,the earthmen. I visualised them so intensely that I came to the veryfrontiers of hallucination; once, walking in the garden, I was for asecond not quite sure that a little man had not run past me into theshrubbery. I was faintly alarmed, but it was not like my night-fears. Afear that guarded the road to Faerie was one I could face. No one is acoward at all points.
All this time I had still not heard a note of Wagner's music, though thevery shape of the printed letters of his name had become to me a magicalsymbol. Next holidays, in the dark, crowded shop of T. Edens Osborne (onwhom be peace), I first heard a record of the Ride of the Valkyries.They laugh at it nowadays, and, indeed, wrenched from its context tomake a concert piece, it may be a poor thing. But I had this in commonwith Wagner, that I was thinking not of concert pieces but of heroicdrama. To a boy already crazed with "the Northernness", whose highestmusical experience had been Sullivan, the Ride came like athunderbolt. From that moment Wagnerian records (principally from theRing, but also from Lohengrin and Parsifal) became the chief drainon my pocket money and the presents I invariably asked for. My generalappreciation of music was not, at first, much altered. "Music" was onething, "Wagnerian music" quite another, and there was no common measurebetween them; it was not a new pleasure but a new kind of pleasure, ifindeed "pleasure" is the right word, rather than trouble, ecstasy,astonishment, "a conflict of sensations without name". 2ff7e9595c
