However, I am not sure about this work, and it quite frankly left me bamboozled and waiting. The topic of brother complexes is ever-present, yet never fully explored, some bits of self-harm for attention and stalker behaviour are thrown in - and yet I find nothing to grasp at. Who are these people and why are they the way they are? Even if they sometimes outright state their emotions in inner monologues, I still find myself asking "...ok?"
And I think this is the shortcoming of why this doesn't resonate with me, I don't really get why characters do the things they do, except "because plot". I feel like this manga was cut short, especially, when a big family confrontation rolls around, where verbal and physical violence was used: happens completely off-screen. The father, who played a big role in both brothers' lives, is never seen.
Overall, this manga is presentable, with a unique theme, but it ultimately falls short, literally. I expected more from CTK, and I will wait for the next work.
