Preliminary Spoiler

[Spoiler Warning]

There seems to be some tension about the merit of Killing Stalking due to a toxic fanbase and relatively questionable content, so there are a few things that should be made clear right off the bat: Killing Stalking is NOT a Romance.

Yes, the series centers around a pairing is gay. Yes, it is sexually explicit. But it is NOT cute. It is NOT hot. It is not about the romance, if you can even consider it that.

What it IS is a Psychological Thriller manhwa that truly excels in every category, and I’ll be addressing some of the discourse surrounding it first.

Yaoi is a ...

"If I die first, I want you to die, too. If you fail, just keep trying. Don't let me down. Ever."


Woah,first review.

I remember hearing about Killing Stalking for the first time from a friend who was obsessed with yaoi manga ... I did my research the next day and there it was. What an interesting manhwa i said to myself..
I don't read yaoi, but i found this one very different and interesting from any manhwa or yaoi stories out there. I will be spoiling some stuff.

Let me just start off by saying that it's not a romantic story.

This is one of my favorite things to re-read. It is not a fetishy BL that most people think it is. It is a psychological horror manhwa that has actual depth to the plot and I think its very well written and the author is very talented at showing mental illness and PTSD. The story is unpredictable and had me hooked when I first started reading; I finished it in one day. I recommend this to people who enjoy reading dark stories with no happy ending
You can see the art style slowly get better and better throughout the manhwa, I love it at its ...

This story was a fairly enjoyable read, and if you have the time, I highly recommend it! However, keep in mind that although some sites may have it under "Yaoi" or "BL" tags, it should NOT in ANY WAY be considered as such. Yes, there are sexually explicit scenes and the two main characters share sentimental moments, however one is a killer, kidnapper and rapist and the other is a victim. Don't let the fujoshis and toxic fandom fool you, this is a psychological thriller. Secondly, there are a few things that left me confused, specifically why he started killing after his mother's death. However, ...

First things first, this manhwa was mindblowing. I don't normally read psychological horrors but this made me more intrigued in the genre. It worked in so many different ways, by that i mean there are little details that just caused you to actually use your brain and think of the story more deeply. More to what meets the eye. Theory inducing. That's the main reason why i loved this, the writing and storyline, instant 10/10.
Now, for the characters... erm. There are mixed opinions on them. Well for me, boi, some points i hated Sangwoo's guts, as most people do, but it's ...

i really enjoyed reading this story. its very different from anything i've ever read which made it interesting to read. the characters are well designed and unique in my opinion but it really bothers me how people romanticize their relationship in any way shape or form. this story is a NOT a romance so i dont understand why people have the need to ship them together. both the main characters are mentally ill. sangwoo does not love bum. bum thinks he loves sangwoo but in reality he just craves love and affection and when he got that from sangwoo he caught feelings and thought that ...

Killing Stalking... I was wondering why MAL hadn't added you to the database being this one of the most popular Manhwas at the time of its publication but well things that only MAL will know, first English is not my strong point, there will be mistakes if you don't come to me privately saying “You have mistakes here, here, there” insert image of genius meme .jpg, I'm human, I learn English alone by my own means obviously I'm going to make mistakes so don't come to fill your stupid messages with that, second there will be Spoilers, third in the conclusion there will be 2 ...

oof i cant give like a pro review but im just gonna say what i thought of it. You know when you watch something about crime and it gets exciting everytime they are on to something or shit happens? Well from reading all of killing stalking id say i got the same feeling but just consistently throughout the whole thing. Like it is so fucked up and just totally insane because of the killing and abuse etc but i CANNOT help feeling attached to the characters, both yoon and sangwoo made me feel so much pity at the fact that they are both flat out ...

This manhwa has been critiqued a lot and I do understand why. However, I found it interesting and wanted to share some thoughts.

Art shouldn't be defined by its fanbase. I think Killing Stalking has many similarities with "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov. If you find Lolita disturbing, you have a right to. If you see it as romantic story about forbidden love, then you do. But the story isn't famous for being controversial only. I watched the movie when I was underage and didn't understand why it even was made. I didn't like and felt like it wasn't something I should be watching. About five years ...

*** SPOILERS ***

*****DISCLAIMER: This manga contains graphic scenes of violent sex, rape, murder, self-harming and suicide. If you are sensitive to these topics, please don't read this manga***

This manga is a suspenseful thriller through and through. Every time I turned a page, I was gripping the edge of my seat. I wanted to know what happened next. Also, the characters are fascinating. There is no black and white. Sangwoo and Bum live in the grey area. For a minute, I think I have figured out Sangwoo. But then the next minute, I am left confused about his intentions and who he is. Neither character is ...

First of all this isnt Boys love/yaoi, it's horror. This isn't recommended for people who are under 18. If your looking for somthing deranged and actually uncomfortable read it. It contains r@pe, abuse, gore, and all that.The art style is so good and it makes the story so much instresting. Its like a movie when a character does something dumb and youre screaming at them. Almost every character has issues. The characters react realistcly you can see it in their expressions alot. The story is so good too. Do not get emotionally attached trust me. Also don't read the comments.

--The review contains spoilers--

This was a roller coaster of thoughts for me.. Because I'm a big story lover and passionate reader, this raw story wasn't such a blow up for me. But I'm still convinced this story is probably too much for someone (torture gory scene, painful sex scene to look at, rape, murder and much more!).

I'm gonna be clear, I read this because of YAOI element. I thought that I would got a story about man with crush on murderer. The murderer would realize that he likes the guy too and than they would kill people together, you know, classic harsh love story. But ...

Im going to make this short.
I went into this series thinking I was just going to read another yaoi. But it was definitely wrongly tagged. It is a psychological thriller, and a really good one.
The opinion of many people may have been influenced by the fandom this series has, which I'm definitely not proud of in some aspects. You see, what is bad is always what gets the most attention, thats how its like with every single fandom.

Putting that aside, Im going to write some SPOILERS so be careful!!

What one has to understand is that this is a character driven story, what is the ...

Although I gave it a 7, the art, characters, and enjoyment are around an 8.

Starting off with some cons, I felt that it being called BL was quite misleading as it's much more of a thriller as other reviewers have said. Additionally, the chapters centering on that guy from the police force always seemed to be placed poorly. Like I'd reach the end of a good chapter focusing on Yoon and Sangwoo and then it would go over to that other guy which was annoying especially since he wasn't very interesting. It has an open ending which I'm normally not a huge fan of. ...

I think there is one main problem with Killing Stalking. It was marketed as, the crazy fans treated it as and it is even marked as a yaoi. It is a psychological horror with gay people. That does not mean it has to be a yaoi/bl. It does not have to be labled seperatly. If you treat it as a psychological horror I think it will fix some of the problems people have. I cannot speak on if you don't like the plot, or disturbing images which is perfectly alright.
( sorry it's less of a review and more of a public service announcement)

A friend of mine posted a meme of a main character on instagram so I asked what this manga was. While reading it I was slightly uncomfortable because there are some gay things but I just kept reading because it was interesting and the buildup of "tension" was pretty cool. Besides, ik the point isn't the "sexy" situations but there are some t1tties there so it makes me feel a little better about it. Yes the drama was good. I would end there but MAL wants the review to be longer so I added this sentence hoping it would let me submit the review now. ...

this is NOT a yaoi but i did enjoy it for what it is. i liked the creepiness of it and i dont think we should rate stuff based on their fanbase... i liked the characters and the art a lot. i could not stop reading,i was wandering what whould happen next. i think i might be a bit biased because it was one of my first mangas/manhwas. overall it was a great read and i would recommend it, only if u want to read it because of the action and not the shipping. i do not recommend this if u are a victim of ...

Words cant explain how much i love this. Its so beautiful and painful in all the best ways.

Lets just get one thing straight. Its NOT romance,NOT BL,not at all to be fantasised about. The author did NOT intend for this to be romantic or anything of the sort. Sangwoo and Yoonbum are not a couple and they never will be. They should not be shipped with each other! Both have their toxic, terrible traits.

That being said,the read will break you mentally if you arent careful. Please take your time reading it and if you have a weak mentality please reconsider reading it.

now look, before someone jumps the gun and decides to call me crazy for genuinely liking this comic, let me explain a few things to you. no, i am not one of the weirdos that likes to romanticize sangwoo- or any of the things that he did throughout the series. in fact, i hated the guy. his character was done so well by the author that i hated him so much- but somehow still had an inkling of compassion for the dude.

this comic deals with very serious and triggering topics, like abuse, kidnapping, rape, torture, assault, self-harm, suicide... the list goes on and on. i ...

(May contain bad english very sorry)

Okay, I think at this point we should all know this is not a yaoi or a romance. It is a psychological horror and to see people calling this a yaoi? I do think before you read it you should know if you really don't despite the fact that everyone else who has read this series has said this but this manhwa does not hold back on anything and I mean ANYTHING. Not to mention it including Nudity,Borderline Personality Disorder,murder,tramua and more.

Though despite all that the series is surprisingly very good. The art was amazing! the story and character ...
