Overall:

So, I happen to stumble upon this manga from a stupid Facebook page, and thought why not give it a go.
I'm not a manga reader(but an avid anime watcher), so this is still on of my early manga experiences.

Before moving to the crux, I'll address the technical things first.
1. Art was quite good. Faces were very expressive. And it made the disgusting moments even more disgusting (in a good way, of course).
2. Writing was nothing special, but was bearable.

Now to the plot.
* Saki is a socially reclusive yet a very naiive girl, and when entering in high school, wants to become more social-able. So ... she asks her mom to do some make-up and then she suddenly becomes the most attractive girl in the school.
* She then meets a guy in a shop, who invites for a drink, and her wanting to be an "adult", goes there. He forces here into sex, even gives LSD to her, and hence afterwards, declares her his girlfriend. She gives into his charms, and accepts her as his boyfriend.
* Then after hearing about ways to earn money by sex from her school friends, she gets into escorting, and that's when everything goes downhill.

Thoughts
1. So you now know it's "that" kind of story. The "decent-into-living-hell" kind of one. But the series of events and how they are unfolding and being presented, keeps the plot engaging. But since it's a hentai manga, it's interrupted by a lot of sex scenes.
2. OK, so something personal here. I glance a quite many hentai manga, because reasons.... but this is the first time I didn't get ... aroused... by the second chapter because of what was happening.
3. Awful things happen to Saki, very awful. Even though they may seem cliched, it is still very hard to sit through. And this continues on for 6 chapters, which is quite amazing to keep the reader engaging and disgusted at the same time.
4. But Chapter 7 is when it separates itself from other hentai manga. Without spoiling anything, all the horrible things that happened before all combine to make a big punch in the gut, and to the heart, that you won't forget soon.
5. It makes me scared that it happens to girls (and maybe even boys) in real life.

TL;DR :- One of the (surprisingly) saddest manga stories I've read as of writing this, and considering it is a hentai manga. I'm disgusted, emotionally drained, sad as well as a little scared after reading this. NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.

EDIT : [SPOILERS] I've noticed something. Except for the obvious sexual pleasure, she doesn't show emotions or thoughts for her current situation, except for the abortion scene and at the end. You'd think one would break down and cry a little when one get's hurt, but even after all the bad things happening to her, she persists. She endures the pain for a good future with her boyfriend, until...

Beautiful. In many manga series, the character will experience the bad so that the good seems so much better when it comes. Realistically, some people just have completely terrible lives. The transition from seeking solace in life to seeking solace in death is beautiful and convincing.

Along the way, the reader is reminded that less fortunate people have unexplored characters and stories that are often overlooked. Many undeserving people are beaten down by life. Though the protagonist may have been naive, she tried to live with others and just couldn't stand up to the world by herself. She took a bad path in life, with no ... one to help her at any turns she took, and she eventually found herself stuck. The world is as foul as people make it.

Though the story is experienced in third person, it really is as Saki experiences things. The lack of her thoughts make the story so much more tragically beautiful. We see Saki convincing herself that she is okay, we watch as she despairs when hope is taken from her, and at the end there is no after story, no epilogue. When life ends, it doesn't matter what happens afterwards because to experience something, you need to exist. Even if the people who made Saki's life miserable were meted out justice, she will never get to experience that happiness.

I really appreciate how this manga shows that life can be worse than death. The ending for this manga was a happy one. After toiling through life, she got the eternal reprieve she deserved. She may not have ever gotten to enjoy life, but she won't have to suffer through it ever again.

I see in a lot of comments in many websites of hatred againts Saki-chan, saying that she is silly, dumbass and she deserves all that things for her bad decisions.

I am going to defend Saki-chan from all that things. What happens is that Saki-chan is a TEENAGER, an insecure teenager that only wants to have a friend, to be accepted, like everyone wants to, how many of you did things in those years for liking others?

Everyone is making proffit of her kindness and innocence that, step by step, made that awful ending when she realizes that wasn't the way... A sad story

Well, to be completely honest, I found a meme, got curious as to what it was and it lead me to reading this story. I've had a few hints and sort of guessed what it was going to be like before delving into this story. I was correct, but it exceeded my expectations and just kept doing down and down and down.

I must say this story had a very good impact on me and my thoughts of actual people around the world. Leads me to say that you got to be careful in your decisions as one thing can lead to another and you'll ... never be able to go back on that.

Its a very hard manga to read and I wouldn't be surprised if you drop this manga very early. Its a good eye opener and you start to realise the bad in this world and that there always will be bad people.

You should definitely check this manga out, even though its a hentai, and hard to read through, it will certainly teach you a lot of things about how cruel life can be. It is probably the only hentai manga you should ever read.

This review will be purely based on plot, I don't review hentai/doujin based on sex taste, because it's all biased; needless to say, you shouldn't be reading this for jack material. If you are though, prepare to be massively disgusted and go limp immediately (Even for you well-versed in UB and MF tags).

STORY: [Full Spoilers; it's just 200 something pages so go read it and come back]
I'm going to be breaking this up into 3 Parts: The innocent stage, clueless stage, and the desperate stage.


INNOCENT STAGE (Experimenting and falling to social pressure; also the longest)
Metamorphosis follows the tale of Saki Yoshida, a social outcast in ... middle school. She's envious of all the attention her other peers get, and decides to finally make a change in her life. She decides to begin putting on makeup and changing her hair style (she also removes her glasses), with the help of her mother. To her surprise, this actually works. She goes from being rock bottom on the social hierarchy to hanging out with the popular girls. One day, while out at a bookstore, she meets a man named Hayato.

Haytato, is for all intensive purposes, a scumbag (Practically all of the characters in this story are). He finds her in the bookstore, and invites her to out with him. In just one date, he pressures her to have sex with him at a love hotel. Not to mention, he also starts her long-addiction to several forms of drugs throughout the doujin (Upon a closer read, they seem to be Ecstasy pills). As a reader, it's pretty clear what is going on at this point. She's getting roofied and taking advantage of. Regardless, after they have sex for the first time, she starts to see him as a reliable person in her life (This should go without saying, but if someone takes you somewhere private and tries to have sex with you on the first date; you shouldn't oblige). Unfortunately for Saki though, she's only 13 (I'm assuming since she's in middle school) at the start of this story; meaning she is still quite young and impressionable. She doesn't realize that Hayato is a bad influence in her life until long after her entrance into adulthood. She ends up ONLY having sex with him EVERY time they meet (Again, I don't blame her for not realizing the issue here, due to her age).

Back at school, she overhears of a "job" from her "friends" which can make some quick cash. All she has to do is talk to some geezers and turn them on (Can't see this going wrong, right?). She meets with one of these clients (Who actually turns out to be one of the best Ugly Bastards in Hentai period, more on that later), and he tricks her to have sex with her. Garden variety stuff. When she returns at school, she is taken aback. Why? Turns out someone took a picture of her leaving the love hotel with the Ugly Bastard. This is when a group of male students decide to blackmail her and force her to have sex with them (Once again, this is pretty tame so far). After countless occasions of just flat sex with her classmates, she begins to develop a slut reputation around the school. This immediately causes her "friends" to get jealous, send her death threats, and make her life much more harder at school.

When she comes home, is when the plot thickens. I unfortunately saw the twist coming, like the degenerate I am, but it still hit hard to home. Over a dinner discussion with her parents, her dad starts to realize how much she's GROWN UP. All of you reading this, should be having all sorts of red flags going off in your head. After dinner, her dad breaks into her room and rapes her. It was at this point that I realized this wasn't just the garden variety rape hentai, that I had taken it for.

At this point in the story, Saki is completely unable to avoid being raped. She goes to school, her classmates fuck her; if she goes home, her dad fucks her. It gets much worse for her though, once she lets out a loud moan in school, causing everyone to know that she has become a slut (Even though it's really not her fault, yet). Her "FRIENDS" (I hope you are recognizing a theme by now) write all sorts of *great* death threats all over her desk. This prompts her to run home for emotional support.

When she goes home, she is abruptly greeted with a bitch slap from her mother. Turns out, she knows she's been having sex with her father. Now, this is the only part of the story that I thought made no sense AT ALL. Upon crying for her mother to believe her that he raped her, SHE SIDES WITH HER HUSBAND. What the actual fuck?! Her mom calls her a whore, bitch, and a slew of names before kicking her out of the house. With nowhere to turn, she remembers Hayato and goes to him for advice.

CLUELESS STAGE (Entering the *Adult* world)
Saki ends up moving in with Hayato and continues her fervent sex streak with him. She considers herself to be an adult now, and capable of making her own decisions (At best, she's probably 14 here; in other words, way too young to go out on her own with her "reliable judgement"). Hayato introduces her to an underground drug ring (Great boyfriend material there) and proceeds to get her hooked into cocaine (This being the 2nd drug that she had experienced by now). She foolishly believes that Hayato took her in out of the kindness out of her heart, and says that she'll pay Hayato's 1 Million Yen debt. Only one issue: She doesn't have a job. This is when she begins to actively whore herself out to others.

Right there in the club, she is raped by Hayato's buddies. Again, I don't blame her for not realzing this isn't acceptable for several reasons (I. She had shitty parents who didn't tell her how the real world works, II. She's still a minor, III. She's under the influence of cocaine in this scene, IV. She trusts Hayato and relies on him for things she, herself, does not undestand). Honestly, calling this whole doujin "unrealistic," for these reasons is missing the mark. After being raped by all the guys, she develops an obsession for cocaine, since it makes her orgasm significantly more intensely.

After some time, she begins her life as a prostitute. Dressing up, dying her hair blonde; she's living that *extravagant* adult life. Hayato shows his bad boyfriend skills off by gaming on the couch while telling Saki to get an abortion, since it's bad for business. Saki reluctantly goes through with it, and meets up with the Ugly Bastard who took advantage of her earlier on in the story. When he meets her, he's a bit surprised. He notices how she has no idea what she is getting herself into, and ACTUALLY GIVES HER ADVICE. Finally one Ugly Bastard that isn't a complete shmuck! It still doesn't help him by much, since you know he did force himself onto Saki earlier, but compared to the other encounters she goes through; he could have been much worse. Anyway, he tells her that Hayato is using her, but she doesn't believe him. This is when Saki starts to become desperate: She begs him to let her have sex with him, in order to pay off Hayato's debt (This is because our Ugly Bastard over here, declined the proposition to have sex; this was mainly due to her innocence being tainted.

She returns to her joint, and raped again upon asking for Hayato's whereabouts. This is when she encounters her third new drug: this time being Heroin most likely (Notice how it's injected into her, and also the most powerful of the drugs she's experienced; just a guess, but still). After becoming a literal cumdumpster, she's thrown into the alleyway. This is when she enters her desperate stage.

DESPERATE STAGE
After being raped and thrown into the alley, she realizes all her money was stolen; as well as her drugs. When she goes back to Obata (Forgot to mention, but he basically owns this joint; also the guy who injected her with Heroin), he gives her a choice: She can either take the money or the cocaine. She chooses the cocaine. When she tells Hayato about this, he beats her up and evicts her (Take notes guys, this is a real gentlemen).

She's left homeless, jobless, and all the while; she's still in her prostitute apparel. At a playground, she sniffs a bit of cocaine and instantly gets high. She starts masturbating right there on the slide, when two homeless guys approach her. She gets raped by them, yada yada, and then she wakes up somewhere else. The homeless guys give her what looks like puke in a bowl, and she vomits after inhaling the aroma. This is when she realizes she's pregnant again. She chooses not to get an abortion this time though, and opts to change her life for the better.

This when we enter the final Chapter (7), which is by far one of the more disturbing ones. It begins with her being fucked in an alleyway, but it becomes gradually more upsetting as we realize that she's still pregnant. Some close up shots of the fetus, that would make anyone limp after viewing it, and we end the rape scene. Post-rape, she starts to crave Heroin, and despite harboring her child inside of her, she injects herself with it.

The following scene is when we see her at her lowest; outfitted with the hobo garb and all, she re-visits Obata's joint, only to find he isn't there. She instead begs the guys outside the joint for money, and she actually receives some before promptly being mocked. She moves on to take her saved money out of a locker (presumably at the bank), when she's stopped by a familiar group: her "friends" from middle school.

They don't recognize her, but she immediately identifies them. They accuse her of stealing, call her a hobo, and openly mock her. They physically abuse her, and stop her when she tries to run away with her money. When she trips over, he pregnant belly is revealed and her lack of panties as well. This is when one of her old "FRIENDS" notices her subtly. What follows is some of the cruelest scenes, I've ever seen from a Hentai/Doujin (And I've seen and read plenty). The bullies, now adults, stomp on her pregnant stomach in an attempt to kill her unborn child. Just wow...Then her friend strips her down, and they proceed to rape her. Almost the whole time, they are kicking her clit too. They then proceed to take a Coke bottle and shove it up her vagina, quite forcibly. They steal her money and leave.

With her water broken, being mixed with the blood from the pain she endured; she gives birth to her child in the bank bathroom. The final shot we see her like this is a haunting one: She stares into a mirror, before properly returning her hair to its original state and then puts on her glasses, before crying immensely. She breaks the mirror, crawls on the floor, and apologizes for being such a bad mother. Believing she'll die, she inserts all the drugs she still has on her. She faints before saying she's glad.

The scene then transitions to an much older Saki, presumably in her 20s-30s considering her child (Hana) seems to be around 8 years old. She tells Saki to snap out of her daydream. Saki then tells Hana that her past was miserable, and she didn't know how to take care of herself. She then tells Hana that due to her presence, she could start fresh in life. The Doujin ends on the bathroom floor with her broken glasses, cocaine, and blood on the floor. Combining this scene with the flash-forward, it's highly probably that Saki gave birth to Hana in that bathroom.

Final Thoughts
That's about all I have to say about this review. I will say his though, I rarely get immersed into Anime, and even rarer for Hentai. By the flash-forward, around when Saki was telling Hana that she didn't know how to take care of herself, I was bawling my eyes out crying. The only other Hentai to do that for me was Tiny Evil Episode 2, and even that wasn't as strong as this. Definite 10, and it's going on my favorites list.

Perfect. Disgusting. Captivating. Unreadable. Thoughtful. Atrocious.
Metamorphosis, or Henshin, is simultaneously one of the greatest and one of the worst manga I have ever read. A horrifying exposé on the depraved dark side of modern society- masquerading as a hentai manga- Metamorphosis is an experience you will *never* forget. It's a story you'll read, ponder for a very long time, and then never want to think about ever again.

Story: 10.
The plot of Metamorphosis is almost flawlessly arranged. An innocent girl's nightmarish spiral into a world of filth and disorder carefully laid out over 225 pages, Metamorphosis is impossible to put down no matter how much ... you want to do just that. Just when you think the worst has come to pass for the MC, Saki Yoshida, the author leads her even further into the depths of her own personal hell. It is no doubt one of the scariest pieces of fiction I've ever come across, and that's for one main reason: none of what happens to Saki is her own fault. The only sins she actually commits of her own free will: being innocent and being self-conscious. These two very mundane flaws, character traits anyone can relate to and sympathize with, are the root cause of everything that will go on to ruin her life.
That's what makes Metamorphosis so scary. There is not a single moment in the story that you can point at and say: "There. That decision. She could've made the choice not to do that, and everything would've turned out fine." The story is a nightmare made reality, a horror story Saki can't escape from no matter what she tries at every step of her downfall, because she's afraid to resist, too pure to understand what's happening, or just forced into making choices she can't refuse.
So that leads me to the next part of what makes this manga frightening: So, nothing that happens to Saki is her own fault. But everything that happens to Saki is everyone else's fault. From the people who just ignore her plight to the ones who uncaringly abuse and manipulate her, Saki's fall from grace is orchestrated by the actions of all of the other people in the story. If just one of the people she encounters along her journey into darkness decides to help and support her, she could be rescued from her plight. Still, whether or not that does end up happening is something I'm not going to spoil. The author does an incredible job of exposing the world of apathy and agony that lurks just under the surface of civilized society, and depicting Saki's headfirst plunge into that world.
The torture and abuse in this manga aren't just for shock value and the sex isn't just jerk-off material. Everything has a purpose and actually builds towards themes and the overall storyline.
And the ending.... man, the ending... It might take you a few minutes to understand what happens, but let me just say that it's going to stay with you for a very long time. (And a piece of advice: throughout the bathroom scene at the ending, pay very close attention to how her appearance changes.)

Art: 7
The art is pretty good for a hentai. The artist's use of perspectives, angling, and decent focus on realistic body proportions isn't something you'll find very often among hentai artists.
My only gripe with the art, and my main problem with this manga overall, is that it makes most of the sex that happens in the manga look visually appealing. Yes, I get that's the point of a hentai, but in the case of a serious story like this, where every sex scene involves Saki and someone who abuses and manipulates her, and in many cases even tortures her, it takes away from the somber tone of the story. Every sex scene is a horrifying representation of her disappearing dignity and sense of self, and the art that goes along with it should reflect that. But in many cases, the art glorifies and sensualizes the act instead.

Character: 8.
Metamorphosis is full of disturbing and sleazy characters, but what makes it even more depressing are the good people who turn their backs to Saki because of misunderstandings.
Saki's metamorphosis as a character is particularly well done. Her gradual corruption and debasement are masterfully executed, and with every scene of the manga the author makes you really feel for her losses.


Enjoyment: 2.
I give the story a full ten, the art a pretty high rank of 7, the characters an 8, and the manga overall an 8/10. So why am I putting the enjoyment at a 2?
Because Metamorphosis is NOT an enjoyable experience. And it's not meant to be. If you're still jerking off 70 pages into the story I'd say you're into some weird stuff. But if you're still going at it 200+ pages in, you're definitely a threat to society. (Just kidding, but seriously... wtf??)

Metamorphosis is a vile, disgusting, depraved piece of fiction. It is a manga you'll read once and never want to read ever again. But it's one that'll leave you thinking about it long after you finish. How could Saki have been saved? Who was the worst person she met? Could something like this actually happen in real life? What did the ending mean? Metamorphosis is a story that will capture you and never fully let go.

Overall: 8.
A perverse, gloomy, sordid tale, Metamorphosis is not for the faint of heart. But if you can make it through all 225 pages I think you'll come to the conclusion that it was worth reading. Just not something worth reading again.
The well-written plot, good art, complex characters, depressing tone, and healthy dose of social commentary all come together to create a truly horrific tragedy, and a uniquely serious outlier in the hentai genre.
8/10. Would recommend with caution.

P.S.: If you're a JoJo fan, I'd recommend that you read the Josuke ending too. It's on nhentai along with the original.

Did you see BDD freeze the wave while Caps roamed? He's playing the waves to perfection. While Caps is dicking around and taking advantage of GenG, BDD is costing G2 50 gold per minute. If he does that for 8 minutes, that's an entire Doran's Ring advantage given to GenG. G2 are just lucky that GenG played suboptimally, if they played perfectly G2 wouldn't have won.

This manga for some reason cut so deep i love this type of mangas and story telling i love the all want to make a change but dont know how and it makes me sad seing people judge someone by how they look and other stuff and it makes me sad people being hateful towards other people and this really shows how bad drugs can be if you get addicted. i rate this 10/10 probebly will read again <3

The story hits deep and love this style of art and it was really enjoying to read.
it really is heartbreaking to see someone getting bullied/ pushed away

Who said H doujins are only good for jerking off? This series right here proved that not all H doujins display sex as a pleasurable thing. It shows us how it can corrupt a person, it shows us how we can change.It presents a character who's so fragile that she gave into pressure just to fit in. I'm sure some of us feel that way, not feeling part of something and trying as hard as we can to fit in. But there are drawbacks to it: for one, we forget who we are and what we really want in life. Because of the pressure that ... society delivers to us, we can no longer function as our own person. The female lead represents all those strangled by the status quo, those being used for someone else's gain. This series showed us how real an H doujin can get. Sometimes, you don't need to follow the norm to emerge. True emergence reveals itself when we choose the right choice.

Take note: despite being an H manga, it's not for the faint of heart. Also, bring tissues, because you'll cry more than you'll jerk off. But I assure you, this series will change your life.

Emergence, or Henshin, or even Metamorphosis. Is a manga written by ShindoL. And it seems that my man ShindoL here is notorious for making tragedy mangas and this one is not an exception. I'd have to say that this is one of the best hentai I have ever read, in fact I would consider it a masterpiece.

-The story-
The story is just fucking amazing, bravo, magnifico, impeccable, sugoi, incroyable and put more praise words from all languages here. This shit is like The Godfather of Hentai. It just shows how a tragedy hentai is supposed to be done perfectly. The character development of Saki, how she ... transformed from an innocent girl to a corrupted thot (excuse my ghetto language there) is perfect, I have nothing to say that could probably improve the story. The sex scenes are just umm... meh, I think. It serves only as a filler, at least for me anyway. This is one of those hentai that the story outshines the sex and not many hentai do that. The story crushes your emotions and it already does that since the beginning, and when you think the story couldn't get any more worse, my nigga ShindoL here quickly proves just how fucking wrong you are. The story also gave me a new perspective in life, there are a actual women out there who have been in Saki's position, and the thought of something Saki experienced in the story has also probably happened in real life, hmm... it fucks me up man.

-The sex-
This hentai has a lot to offer when it comes to the sex, here are the fetishes that are in it:
-Glasses
-Drugs
-Mind break
-Pregnant
-Dark skin/Ganguro/Gyaru
-Piercing
-Dirty old man
-Vomit
-Incest
-Violence
-Death
-Prostitution
-Ahegao (This hentai is ahegao heaven)
I probably missed a few but I think it's enough to tell you what you are up for. The sex scenes doesn't really arouse me, probably because I'm already busy crying from my eyes rather than from my genitals.

-The art-
The art is great, props to the artist for his job in drawing Saki because she's one of the hottest characters I seen in a while. She stays hot even in her miserable states later in the story. The artist also did a great job in drawing the background. While for the men, I don't really have much to say.

-The characters-
The personalities of each character is depicted nicely, it's not your typical "make all men horny and rapey" type of shit. Also, how Saki's personality and moral gets more and more degenerated throughout the story and how well done it is depicted is a big plus from me.

-The enjoyment-
I didn't start to enjoy the story until chapter 3 where everything started going tits up and Saki's life started going downhill from there. The more I read, the more I get immersed in the story and how I get more and more emotionally attached to Saki. The ending is where it fucks me up, although I was kind of expecting that kind of ending, how it was brought up was really soul crushing and very depressing. Poor Saki-chan.

Overall, I give this a strong ten. This is an example of how a tragedy hentai should be done. This is like (more analogies coming) the Illmatic of tragedy hentai, the Shawshank Redemption of tragedy hentai, the Sgt. Peppers of tr- Uhh.. A-Alright, alright, I'll stop with the analogies there.

I recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the feeling of being very attached to the protagonist or If you just like the idea of an innocent girl becoming corrupted.

I’m gonna be real, I enjoyed it. Warning though this manga is very morbid and if you’re sensitive i don’t know if it is for you. I loved the psychology and it wasn’t scary or traumatizing for me.

It’s not for everyone, im someone who enjoys mangas and animes that shed light on dark topics, and morbid situations. If you are like that, and that interests you I do recommend it. And NSFW warning on it btw


The art style is very lovely, and it really gets into the depth of things that really do happen even as I type this review. It’s dark, it’s ... nsfw, really impactful. No manga is like it, i will say that.

Man...This manga is something. It's definitely not for the faint of heart and definitely not something you want to fap at (especially towards the end).
I read through this manga in less than 2 hours. During those two hours I was extremely interested in how it will turn out...but towards the end, I kept asking myself "when will it end" over and over again.

This manga is really tragic and interesting. But morally I can't give it more than an 8. Only because I don't like these type of train wreck stories.
If you like that sort of thing, by all means go ahead and read this. ... You'll love it.
If you're more into happy endings avoid this manga at all costs. Otherwise a great read. Will be reading more of ShindoL in the future.

Full of obsession, scary when exposing the dark side of society in the context that main character (main) is too naive and stupid (because if you experience many times in life, you will be smarter than here, from a-z still stupid), and if this had been the result of how to raise a child in the family and the brutality of society, she might have suffered from this since childhood, and what is the role of saki's mother? If she doesn't trust her child, why would Saki trust her? With a family like this, Saki should have been someone else. It's not normal at all. ... Anyway this is an example of a character in a world "we should have lived" thrown into the darkest part of modern society where humanity vs altruism is swallowed up by materialism, greed and evil. They have swallowed up all the good qualities of people.

this is the first time that i read a hentai and wow

it's just so many emotions in a couple of chapters i can't even explain it

at first it was a tipical story of a no one who becomes a popular girl but then BAM she dicovers sex and drugs and omg....

i'm gonna be serious, i was so desconfortable reading it and seeing all of that stuff that for a moment i thought that maybe i shouldn't been reading it because it was too much for me and 'i dont like that kinda of stuff' and 'im not really in hentai so why go on?'
but
the truth ... is
i couldn't stop

it's true that i passed many parts because .. (read it yourself)
but damn it
the end...

i finished my first hentai manga crying

i know that i didnt enjoy that much because talks of some stuff that make me disgusted but i can tell when i read a good story and oh yeah boy i've read damn really good story


the only thing that i really hated:
THE FATHER
WHY WHY TSSSSSKKKKKKK

i think the first time i heard about this, i was told that it was a hentai that was impossible to fap to, and it puzzled me because i thought people were sick enough to fap to anything. regardless i don’t read hentai but with all the praise that this gets i decided to give it a go. it’s graphic but that’s coming from someone that doesn’t read a lot of hentai however i still think it’s extremely graphic.
it was just depressing, seeing this normal girl take the wrong path step after step, at one point i remember wanting to barf, i knew i ... was going to throw up, just a spiral of misery, ill think about this for a while, not the sort of thing you forget.
7 heart wrenching chapters

PSA: If you've been raped or have severe depression do not read this. This is extremely realistic.

I am, man I usually have a pretty thick stomach. I read a hentai and I wasn't even turned on. This manga hit home, not for me thank god. This manga is what I've seen a lot of women go through. They leave it all with some guy, its rare, but I've seen it on both sides. Especially women.

Without having any idea what the general synopsis is, the story has great pacing. It's very simple and realistic. I often found myself thinking "man this is so real." I know ... so many girls got into that hardcore stuff because some cute guy who seemed nice introduced them. It's not about dating or romance. It's about influence. It is easy for a women to make money selling her body and no one wants to say it but it does decrease your value. ZFor money, drugs, attention, opportunities.

I'm not here to judge, heck, I'd probably do the same. How real is this manga? Scary real. In fact, I want to know how someone could've possibly known all of this. Girls do having dating apps where they pretend to be under 18 and get 10,000 USD for blowjobs etc. I have experienced this.

The review:
Story: Great. Extremely realistic. Scary realistic

Art: You'd be turned on if you couldnt read

Character: Realistic. Extremely fucking realistic

Enjoyment: Idk. Ignore my overall grade because I do not have one. However, this manga should be in every school. It isn't a lifestyle that should be shamed. But it is one that should come with a warning label. I can only imagine the things she had to do, to climb to the last panel.

Henshin is the best hentai that I’ve ever read, no doubt about it. From a compelling storyline to nicely written characters, Henshin is good.

Henshin’s storyline starts with a young highschool girl named ‘Saki’. What could possibly go wrong? A lot does, she experiences a metamorphosis, not the pretty butterfly type, the bad version of that. 7 chapters of pure tragedy mixed in with sadness. This story isn’t one of those jerk and go hentai’s, it’s more of a tear ‘jerker’. I loved the storyline and remember it ‘till this day. Everything makes sense and is explained throughout the story. You understand Saki as a character, ... no as someone who is close to you. You feel for this character in so many ways. I’ve never even felt this bad for even my ex girlfriend after she spilled coke all over her shirt, guess that’s what she gets for doing it in front of the cops… Anyways, you will feel something for her, whether it be sadness or anger. The character is written to destroy you mentally.

The art in Henshin is phenomenal and just so breathtaking. It adds to the atmosphere that the story emulates so perfectly. Shindo L’s drawings are amazing, they make Henshin what it is. Every scene is a breath of fresh air, a reminder that the darkness has still not stopped.

The characters in Henshin are either pure disgust, or just depressing. Saki is the sweet innocent girl who gets shown the real world in the worst ways imaginable. Whereas, a beefy ugly bastard is what you’d call not a saint, but more like a disgusting mess of a human. You’re either born a victim or a perpetrator in this hentai, no in between. Every character makes sense, especially Saki.


I enjoyed it a lot. Henshin isn’t just another hentai made to make you feel ‘something’, it’s made to tell a story. A story about being taken advantage of and used to a point of no return. Henshin is a depressing, and even disgusting portal into the real world where something like this has probably occurred, or is even occurring as you read this. I love stories that shed light on the cruelty that really anyone can experience, and how batshit crazy the world really is. Shindo L has done a great job and I commend him for it

I am rating this doujin with consideration that this is an hentai. But more than an hentai this is something which can happen or happens in real life. Of course it has huge PP and bucket load of coome because its hentai but aside from that no matter what one says i would call this a masterpiece. First the story is focused more on Saki and the character is written to perfection. A shy introverted girl who does not know how ZA WARUDO works and because of this people take advantage of her. Each chapter there is a huge difference from what she was before. ... As far as the plot goes it moves along with Saki and as far as how the plot is the story could not be written any better. By the end of the manga as a person it had changed me and it thought me to understand people before you can judge them. If they are in need of help as a responsible human we have to help a person. The story in conclusion is about a person chosing the wrong path because of bad circumstances. A MASTERPIECE DOUJIN....

I am giving this a 10/10, however, this manga is depressing and shocking to such a degree it can become traumatising. You may end up thinking about it for weeks to come, like I did.. Therefore I can not recommend it. It is simply too sadness and rage inducing. It sort of seems like ShindoL made this just to royally fuck up your day.

This manga is extremely depressing and depicts a worst case outcome of life where everything goes wrong, and I do mean everything. Saki, the main character, does not experience a single truly good experience throughout the entire 225 page story. This is ... "misery porn" to such an extent it ceases being porn and only remains misery.

This manga has gotten a lot of praise for its realism and refusal for pulling punches. In my opinion, each scenario Saki goes through is, in isolation, realistic (except one by the end), but all of these scenarios happening to the same person, one after the other, is a bit bizarre. I believe the story as a whole to be unrealistic, In the same way as I think winning the lottery 5 times in a row is unrealistic. This does not mean I think the story is bad though.

The story is very captivating, emotional, and well written. It is entirely focused on Saki and her struggle to be accepted, and that focus truly pays off. The ending is devastating, absolutely devastating. Its like a Saitama serious punch right in your tear duct.

Saki herself is very naive, but cute and likeable. She is a victim of other characters faults and terrible actions. When she tries to improve her situation, it only gets worse, most often of no fault of her own. There is only one decision she took that I personally can not reason nor relate to.

The art is superb, as expected from ShindoL. Nothing to point out really. Simply superb.

The story and character of this h-manga is way better than they should be. If you are looking for something to get hard to, this is not it, at least not the second half..

10/10, but would not recommend unless you want to cry and rage for a week.
