I **** you.
Words that are open to interpretation. This manga plays skip rope with the line that defines love and hate, fear and fearlessness, sane and the insane. Truthfully, I’m writing this not long after completing the manga, but with only 5 chapters, it is one that goes by really fast. The lingering questions however, stay for much longer.
The manga referenced here of course is the psychological drama/mystery “Lying Mii-kun & Broken Maa-chan: Precious Lies”. The title hints at the deceptive nature of the story, as the narration successfully manages to throw curveballs and

I xxxx you.
Sounds pretty ambiguous, doesn’t it? Lying Mii-kun and Broken Maa-chan : Precious Lies is one of those manga that, like the opening statement, leaves many things up to interpretation. This manga blurs the lines between two extremes, where things are not always as they appear. The title only helps add to the deceptiveness of this short series. You will effectively be thrown for a loop on more than one occasion and afterwards wonder if what happened was actually reality or not. Although it is only 5 chapters a long and a tad under two-hundred pages, it still manages to suck you in like few ... Dec 3, 2011
I came across this manga completely by chance and I’m not even sure what made me pick it up. Since it’s not my typical read, I don’t have much in my line up to compare it to but its definitely worth looking at.
The twists and turns in this manga were done right. You think “oh so that’s why that happened” and a page later your rethinking your whole though process and trying to figure everything out all over again. The stability of the main characters wavers as things develop [I’m speaking mental stability within their character, not the actual written character] so ways of ... Mar 21, 2013
So this is a mystery, psychological manga which i found to be surprisingly enjoyable. It's short and gets to the point very quickly. The most interesting part are the mental states of the main characters. It kind of reminds me of the twilight zone, where nothing is what it seems.
There's a bit of a twist at the end which is all well and good, but i didn't like how the author went about putting the twist in. It works by only giving you certain information and not the complete picture. And it's not given in any logical manner other than simply to mislead you, ... Mar 23, 2012
I started to read this manga just by chance because of the interesting description, but still I was surprised by the story. There is a lot of room for interpretation and I have to rode pages few times to made most plausible course of events. But still some moments don’t have plain answers and you are free to choose your own version. Just keep in mind, that I’m judging this manga from my point of view.
Story is about two victims of kidnapping, which have their own problems dealing with experience of meaningless violence. They were able to survive, but they can’t return to their previous ... |
