Synopsis

Reiji Kurose was born in the countryside, and has spent his life believing he can never leave his town. He cannot leave his mother alone with his shut-in brother and demented grandmother, nor can he escape the clutches of Gen Minegishi, who keeps Reiji at his beck and call. In contrast, his childhood friend Sakuko Akiyama sees past the nothingness of their gloomy town and dreams of the chaotic glamor of Tokyo.

As a way to withdraw from his monotonous life, Reiji finds comfort in watching the performances of "Acrylic," an idol group, and its most beautiful member, Nagi Aoe. But when he encounters the famous idol behind a convenience store in his grim town, he does not anticipate that he will soon be involved in a series of scandalous events that seem to be a repercussion of times long past. Robbed of his innocence, Reiji struggles to wade through the abyss of sin he has been pulled into, all while an intricate web of lies, obsession, and betrayal threatens to tear him apart.

Everybody is a sick fuck, everybody is manipulative. Throughout most of the manga, it appears that there is little hope for the main character and you keep on reading to see where he goes because you just can look away from his spiraling into depression. There is a bit too much explicit content for my personal taste, but it serves a purpose in the narrative. The plot is intriguing and unfolds in unexpected ways, all while maintaining a straightforward and easy-to-follow storyline. The plot twists are seamlessly woven into the narrative, and the depictions of raw depravity leave nothing to the imagination. I particularly appreciate ...

i'll be honest: this manga is insanely mid, but i cannot get enough of it.

it's not groundbreaking, the character's are all terrible, the story is all over the place and the pacing is incredibly slow.
but, somehow, it's swallowed me whole. this is not a manga i would EVER recommend and it's a struggle to get through the chapters without sighing, getting frustrated or physically hitting the book. i'm surprised it's got enough support to have a physical manga that you can hold and rip to shreds (if you'd like).

i think what makes boy's abyss so addicting is it's lack of good characters. at this point, ...

The ratings of this manga are proof of how easily edgy and pretentious writers can gaslight the audience into thinking they're actually good. In fact, this mediocre at best manga is not much better than the frown uppon generic romcom/harem manga and anime. The concept appears to have a glimpse of potential, and the first chapters, while not a masterpiece, are strong enough. We soon come to learn that this couldn't be further from the truth, with characters that serve as no more than molds for fatality, and who are either extremely one note and archetypical or plain non existent. The pacing is extremely ...
