Romance an Eldritch Horror
Manga
Every great couple has:
>Someone who is no longer (or has never been) human, who
>should also be a source of incredibly unsettling body horror and/or cool fight scenes
>and have larger-than-life consequences (or at the very least include some intense drama)
This is simply what an ideal relationship looks like. I don't make the rules.
(If you know more manga that fits these themes, please for the love of god tell me.)
Visual Novel example: Saya no Uta (Nitroplus)
Original Fiction example: A Cornstalk Fiddle (https://archiveofourown.org/works/15009599/chapters/34790603)

Sometimes you meet a boy and he becomes a fursuit and you get inside him (and develop a slightly unhealthy but incredibly strong bond along the way).

A very lighthearted, silly example (but you can tell the artist knows how to draw gore)

only really applicable in a metaphorical sense (and only in the last 2 volumes), but the visuals more than make up for it.
