uhh

I just finished this manga and lets just say.. it was surely an experience! Idk if i can say I wasted my time or not, i appreciate the depth and complexity of the writing but I also recognized areas of improvement too, particularly in the portrayal of female characters.. I wouldn’t say they’re badly written however every relevant woman’s character revolved around s3x? That theme isn’t directly invalid bc this manga does focus on societal issues and I don’t think it was inaccurate either. The author did a decent job sowing how women r objectified & reduced to their sexuality in society but that’s just one issue, kind of the only one the author decided to mainly portray in his female character writing. It is arguably the most common one & a very big issue but the male characters had a much more diverse & well-rounded portrayal I’m sure the author knows that there’s many other realistic issues he couldve delved in when it came to his female characters but just decided to choose that probably cuz we’re reading this from a male perspective but oh well i still wish for works that offer more multidimensional female characters

This manga also um delves into very uncomfortable and controversial themes so if you’re a sensitive & narrow minded reader I probably wouldn’t recommend you to read this, it will really just be a waste of time and won’t do you any good either. There’s quite a few of problematic situations such as the mc, a grown man, graping a highschooler n the thing is that it literally led to her finding herself so it helped her in one way.. idk its all very weird. Theres also a few boring parts lol which is to be expected, wanted to drop it a few times but forced myself to continue reading.

I was expecting the mc to find himself in the end which he didn’t, instead of finding internal peace by the end we witnessed him descending into madness instead. While this may be a realistic outcome considering his traumatic experiences and sacrifices for others, I think it could’ve been done better. I also don’t fully agree w the solution to him kind of discovering himself n shit is through someone else “seeing him”
The last few chapters were very odd and it kind of just lost some of the plots coherence in some way the ending was unsatisfying to me but it’s still generally an interesting manga w a very good concept n i enjoyed the beginning a lot it was vry funny too (I might’ve already mentioned this idk)
