it's just your opinion but maybe this just isn't your type of story, yes everyone was connected with each other because that's the kind of business they are in, and I don't see in what way the couple is toxic, they're not possessive, neither are they just physically attracted to each other, none of them are codependent and none of them is going yandere route on other party.... Some of the characters are messed up, yes, like Ricky for example and the teacher, or his father. It shows what kind of work they are in, that's basically what their world is like, it's pretty screwed up, I mean that piece of shit made Samuel do that kind of thing to prove his "love", that's when you know he's not just toxic but messed up in the head. But the characters never act out of character and the plot is very interesting, I don't even have to mention how gorgeous the art is, and character's personalities are shown well, also they show character's backstories at right times, it's often for a reason, moments doesn't just randomly happen and they aren't told just for the sake of showing the backstory and filling the chapters, it often has a reason
Anyway this is getting long so imma stop lol
3/5, I didn't even complete this, honestly, I love shounen-ais and mysteries but this didn't do, I dont even remember what chapter I stopped so Im not gonna go back and continue reading, I guess i stopped after they got togeather but I just find the whole story toxic, yes this plot is good but its still really confusing, no matter how many chapters I read i just cant focus, everyone is connected with someone somehow, and the orange head son that looks like chuuya is just disgusting like his dad, the main couple for me is considered toxic, i just dont like em at all anyway, i do wanna know the what the "nevermore" project is about but I cant get myself to waste time and read the remaining chapters so I might just skip to the last few chapters, overall its fine ig but i wont reread nor complete it.
