Customer Review

This is the first volume of a series of other independent. It contains 90 pages of color comics, supplemented with 28 bonus pages, richly illustrated. It first appeared in 2014. Stjepan Sejic is full author: scenario, drawings, ink setting and colors, all to computer graphics.

Lisa is a writer who works in his great novel while earning his living writing erotic news. As the story begins, she is preparing to write the story of his meeting with Ally (a young woman financially comfortable). It speaks directly to the reader indicating that this is a love story, with many scenes of lesbianism and bondage (sadomasochistic practice of tying its partner in an erotic relationship or sexual) to prevent the reader what might be leaking a story to rosewater.

In 2 pages, Lisa speaks in broad strokes the life of Ally and his own, before they met, and the emptiness of their love life. Then the narrative shows the first physical encounter between two young women, their preparations and their first night of lovemaking until the second meeting.

This project has a bad reputation, even since before its release in the form of paper album, a certain number of pages were published on the internet (on site DevianART) by its author. In the bonus pages Stjepan Sejic explains that initially it was only that of gags in 1 or 3 boxes, and he developed the story later with the help of his wife Linda Sejic. The goal for him was to find the energy to draw, and the taste for his job after the series Witchblade: Redemption with Ron Marz.

Obviously, given the summary, the reader expects a good dose of eroticism, trend sadomasochism. Sure there are some scenes with frontal nudity of the 2 main characters (Lisa & Ally), and some scabrous positions with domination. By cons, there is no drawing of penetration or humiliation with physical abuse. The level of eroticism is rather nice, because Sejic performs a little faster drawings without dwelling too much on the finish. That does not mean they are sloppy, but the degree of variable accuracy decreases erotic potential.

Some examples. When Sejic represents nipples of the ladies, or pubic hair, it does not look for realism, it does not emphasize the texture of the flesh, or the shape of the pubic hair. The former are represented as circles quickly sketched, the second in the form of a brown or black color job. The reader can appreciate the slim shape of Lisa and Ally, by cons he can not imagine their skin texture, or the most intimate details of their anatomy.

Sejic also showcases some sadomasochistic practices. It starts with Lisa naked on a bed attached (being willing), and this goes to the ball gag, including of course the latex corset. There is even a bed with frames allowing uncomfortable positions. On one side the drawings show these frankly, on the other it does not is a pornographic magazine or a dominatrix perfect manual. Lisa explains itself in his narration that interrupts its description when the feeling becomes more important than the technique, that is to say during the preliminaries.

The narrative understanding of the author is to give voice to Lisa that she expresses her feelings and emotions through text cells, and to ensure that the reader assists (involved almost) as spectator physical realization of this relationship out of the ordinary (Lisa and Ally had corresponded via the Internet before). Sejic poses as a starting point that it is the wish of living a dominatrix experience / dominated that leads to the encounter between Lisa and Ally. By cons, it is not for women jaded or experienced in the field. So the reader discovers the gradual implementation of these practices they simultaneously. Then there are 2 consenting adults whose objective is the search for a shared pleasure, but not at any price. Lisa has therefore from the outset of a password that allows him to understand that she wants to Ally suspend.

Despite the sleazy side of the shape of their pleasure (this dominant relationship / dominated), the story never poured into an unhealthy voyeurism. Stjepan Sejic takes the time to express the mood of the two women, their doubts, their fears and their excitement. The reader discovers the birth of a rather romantic love story, presenting a singular characteristic, namely the shape of their physical love. Lisa eventually rationalize the use of this submissive relationship as a form of expression of a passion for entertainment out a bit unconventional, making her and Ally geeks of a particular kind, but nothing Moreover.

The reader should not expect either to reflect on the sadomasochistic practices. It has a passage on the sensory reactions when Lisa puts on latex corset. But the author does not dig the psychology of dominated or dominating. He remains in a state of simple observation of the fun of dominated to appreciate to rely on the goodwill of another and accept these little pains that make it more aware of his body. It shows Ally as a person taking almost more fun to imagine the scenario and the staging of future antics, that realize them. Throughout these pages, especially emphasizes the relationship of trust between Lisa and Ally, and the development of their romantic feelings for one another. Without bid scenes, it would be almost a novel rose water, devoid of silliness.

In this story tells Stjepan Sejic the first romantic encounter between a dominant and a dominated. He does not realize a pornographic comics, but an erotic comic in which the feelings take first place. In contrast to a catalog of sexual prowess anatomically and morphologically unreliable, it is primarily a love story, where mutual trust is paramount.
