Story, 10:
Where to start... Well, for those who read the synopse and are accustomed to bl manga might say “there we go! Another main character being sexually harassed by his superior... Its cliché time!!” like sekaichi hatsukoi, mankai darling and a few others. In fact, it broke from the genre right there since its far more complex than that.
Acid Town introduces several characters that, while being seemingly non-related, are all connected through a complex web of present and past relationships. The usage of time in this manga is heavy talking about events even before the main character was born. Those who like linear storylines with

Determined to do whatever it takes to cover his ailing little brother's medical bills, Yuki and his friend Tetsu get caught trying to break into the local yakuza family's office. Hyodo, leader of the Seidoukai, however, is surprisingly willing to let them go unpunished and, what's more, even offers to take care of the hospital bills from now on. He has only one condition: Yuki, without fail, has to show up at the office once a week. Yuki accepts the offer - and his duties at the office turn out to be meaningless. Sitting around and playing chess, Yuki can't help but start to ask

Story - Really intriguing, involved storyline with compelling main characters. This story is a step above the usual ‘I like this guy…..there’s some complications and misunderstandings but then we eventually get together’ manga. It’s a plot-heavy, romance-light drama – but the romantic elements meant more to me when they do appear, as I was more invested in the characters.
It’s set in a quite gritty urban landscape in a world of gangs and crime, in a city that has been affected by some as yet unspecified environmental calamity – which provides an extra note of underlying background tension. The main character Yukio and his friend ... Jun 21, 2014
This story is definitely not straight forward. Most people may not like that, I agree, but I find that Kyuugou has written this story extremely well and in a captivating way.
At the very beginning, you believe that your main character is the first character introduced--Yukio, with his best friend Tetsushi who he'll get into trouble with, since the city is obviously not as clean as it should be. They do get in trouble, with the Yakuza, and it ends up in what I hope is his favour. As soon as the basics are pounded out, you get more in depth with Yukio, who is a ... Feb 7, 2015
I'm a very fond of acid town. I couldn't put it down.
My very first review: When I first read Acid town I had thought in my mind that it's going to be boring and I'll end up forcing myself to read the whole chapter, just for the heck of it. But oh no I was wrong, I got so engrossed by the characters sad, lonely, dangerous, traumatic, horrifying lives that if I windup like one of those characters, I wouldn't survive a single day. I'll probably become a mentally deranged person. I like a story which the past caught up with the characters, and ... May 5, 2019
if you like seinen and yaoi, this manga is for you.
The story is not focus on the relationship between two main characters which fall in love but contains a very interesting plot about Yakuzas and gang war. All the characters in this manga are in deep pain and you will be too by knowing their stories. I think that Kyugo has really managed to make them all very humans and even though you haven't experienced the same things they have, you can trully identify yourself and understand their feelings. It's a hard story but i can't wait for next chapter! I recommand it at 100%. Jan 14, 2022
Acid town is nothing short of a twisted, dark tale with the themes of karma, love,revenge,sexual assault,trauma and much more.
It follows the motivations of different characters connected to one person(who is dead) and how those strings lead to their actions in their present situation. In short, Its an emotional yet an epic ride.Several conspiracies tying them together and how that is related to the main characters is certainly a treat to read. The characters are the best suit of the series. Most of them are morally grey not to mention they are written extremly well. The BL tag might be a turn of for some(it has a ... |
