The grave mistake here is that this manga isn't correctly tagged as psychological—which it should be. Yet even without that tag, it almost requires a warning label. There is a high chance it will make your stomach churn, why? Because this manga portrays an abusive relationship—one built on hate, guilt, repression, and resentment. The foundation of their relationship is deceit, which makes it rocky and unstable.

The boy's love for the girl is very twisted, as he is conflicted between hating and loving her, thus he abuses her for causing him such pain. the "horrific" scenes in the chapters are drawn in a modest ...

It's amazing, and I can really understand the characters, despite the fact that I haven't gone through a similar scenario. I am personally quite cold-hearted, but I was able to sympathize with the characters, especially Beniko and her actions to a large extent. It may just be pure chance or coincidence, but to have one twin extremely violent even though both were put through similar situations, it really brings about the magnitude of the emotion or feeling Umi had for Beniko, but at the same time, it was kinda extreme for no apparent reason.
