This manga... I don't really know where to start. I don't usually read these kinds of magas but here goes.
* May contain spoilers...sorry*
The art wasn't to good and the story... scared me, but don't get me wrong...I think i'm crazy but i did like it.

"A girl has sex with a man she met on a chatline. She later learns a dark secret about the man, only to meet him again under less-than-favorable circumstances. This is a short oneshot that will leave you confused and wanting more."
The last line from the paragraph above is so true, also the last line from the manga when she ... realises she loves him is very heartfelt.
"There was no other man that made my heart flutter like that he did."

I found it really funny when she learnt that he was *wanted*. They could of made a happier ending but there was no other option for him.
( Hopefully you understand me more after you read the story)

I guess if your a mature audience and your just looking to pass some time, i think you should read it.

[✪ Spoiler Warning ✪]

Before I go into this quick review, we need to keep in mind that this is a one-shot, so the intensity at which I'm looking at certain characteristics of this one-shot will be fairly different from a normal manga.

Story: 6/10

For a one-shot, the story was fairly interesting. It introduced the characters in a "good" way (keeping the story's atmosphere in mind) and allowed for future reflection at the end of the one-shot. The fact that this story is a one-shot makes the story even better, as if it were any longer, the story would have likely been worse.

I believe ... that the story was meant to give an idea that there are many ways a person can go about developing romantic feelings. For the main character, that way was through getting r*ped in an abandoned building by her prior sexual partner. Even if this is an undesirable way to develop romantic feelings for most individuals, it got the "message" the story was trying to convey across properly.


Art: 5/10

The art is fine for a one-shot. Nothing to really note about the art...


Character: 4/10

The main characters are more of devices that are used to show the "message" of the story. One is a normal girl who was a bit lonely, and another is some serial murderer/r*pist. As for the side characters, they merely act as a way to add more thoughts to the main female lead as she is getting, uh, defiled.


Enjoyment: 6/10

I cannot say that I did not find this one-shot to be intriguing at the least. I thought it would be worse, so it betrayed my expectations at least.


Overall: 5/10

I can't say I would ever think of this one-shot when recommending something for someone else to read, but if you like reading basically anything (despite the quality of the work), then you should give this one-shot a read.
