Summary: Ned’s a normal guy. All he wants is a normal life, with a normal job, and a normal wife, in the normal universe where those with soul mates are born with a red string.

Review: [Rec’d on Western Yaoi forum] Tied in Red by Torakodragon is a relatively young comic; it just started this summer. So far, though, it has been a very sweet story. Ned and Doug live in a universe where everyone who has a soul mate is born with a red string tied to his-or-her finger. Eventually this string will simply join with its mate, and the two people attached to those strings will become attached to each other for one week. There is even a government agency tasked with assisting the tied.

The author insists that it is “horribly drawn,” but the art — while not fancy — is pleasant and attractive. The characters, even the secondary ones, are interesting and likable. As a whole, the comic just makes me smile.

Updates sporadically.
