I might be a minority here but oh my fucking gosh do i love this manga with my very heart. It's been a while since I've read an actually amazing psychological dissection of unsettling thoughts and feelings without the feeling of it being wrong but instead innate to the characters and how they navigate through that dilemma. This gripped me and I will be thinking throughout my life about this, it's just so beautifully written and crafted despite such taboo topics. I particularly adore the weird dynamic that Kei and the girl have in which they have this sort of silent understanding of one's fucked up situation kinda reminiscent of the relationship between wendy and niel from mysterious skin in a way. It sucks that she went the way she did but it was inevitable considering what her psyche was in that state. And my goodness, Sai i think is the most interesting out of the bunch. We are always presented that he was the normal one but he truly isn't, how easily did he carve out his skin just for her brother, how interconnected they are not just by blood but by their minds and feelings. The only thing that dissatisfied me about this is that it was far too short, I was ready to dove in to the brothers' fucked up parasitic relationship in another level but alas. Overall, i think top 10 reads of the year so far and ive read a lot this year, 192929293393/10
