Wow… this was… a lot heavier than I expected. I’ve been on a horror binge the past few weeks and so finally picked this up and it was so much different than what I’d expected.

I expected some build up and then maybe some big climactic thing with an immediate end, but it started off hard and didn’t let up. It was far more emotional than I expected and I feel maintained that emotion throughout the whole thing without feeling forced. It’s very clear from the start what the main story is about but as it goes it kept surprising me.

As someone who doesn’t really ever ... write reviews, I finished it up and had to immediately come write this after all the less than enjoyable horror I’ve been reading lately and need to say: I definitely recommend picking this up if you’re in the mood for horror.

5 volumes that are easy to digest but never feel too fast or like a certain point was drawn out too much. I kept expecting one thing to happen and then something entirely different would happen but never in a way that felt like it was thrown in there just for shock factor like can be common in horror series. I think the only thing I wished for was maybe a bit of an elaboration on the final chapter, but I feel that would have honestly risked ruining it all too.

I definitely see myself thinking about this for a while. Maybe it isn’t necessarily a 10/10 for everyone, but the more I’m digesting as I write this, it’s definitely elevated itself in my mind and I plan to continue to recommend it to people. I just definitely want to note: make sure you’re ready for something emotionally heavy. The horror is palpable through the story and you’re left constantly sitting there wondering what would happen next and trying to hold out hope for one scenario or another. But that hope is what makes certain moments hit harder emotionally than I’m used to actually feeling in stories like these.

Yeahhhhhhh sometimes I forgot why the stereotype for yaoi was 'rape you over and over and you fall in love with me' for so long and this sure is just that incarnated in one messy piece LOL. I enjoy plenty of trashy erotica here and there, but admittedly didn't even find this enjoyable. Can't recommend it tbh

The story is just all over the place. Reading the synopsis, I bought this to check out cause it sounded intriguing and maybe dark, but it's just a whole thing of 'random inkling of backstory', 'surprise! That was the reason!', 'surprise! That was a LIE!', insert rape scene between ... every story point, and so on.

It's hard to say more than that without spoiling it but felt very much like the author was throwing things at the wall and seeing what would stick (I think would be a saying for this). Just yeah, not a great read, arts alright, but even the little omake at the end had me more cringing then finding it funny cause man tastes change a lot as you grow up, huh. ^.^"

This was such a gorgeous movie. I was caught off guard by how much I actually ended up enjoying and getting emotional over this. It's certainly not the best story, but despite that the visuals and sound design were amazing. Even in the short span of time of this film, I found myself becoming invested in the story of the characters and not even realizing how much time was passing. Rather than feeling rushed with its limited time, there was a bit of a slow start, but I think it worked for the energy of this film.

Very much a dark story, it's important to ... be aware that there is grooming/pedophilia, attempted rape, suicide, and self harm in this film. I would still recommend it if you are interested in artsy stuff and are ready for the dark dives throughout this film.
