I feel strangely hollow after finishing this story, but I still found it... strangely beautiful?? I’m unsure how to describe it... I genuinely felt my heart ache at times. Managed to be deeply unnerving without being particularly graphic or explicit. I was genuinely enthralled by the story and the ending had such a sad, almost melancholic tone to it. I’m not sure if I completely understood some of the story beats, but I would definitely recommend either way.
I’m definitely gonna be thinking about this one for a while... the psychological elements were genuinely intriguing and gave me the chills. You can tell this story was intended to be an exploration of a toxic codependent relationship of sorts... really fascinating and chilling. The pretty art somehow makes the whole thing feel even more sinister. Sometimes fucked up elements in ‘yaoi’ stories are just used for shock value or as a dark fetish of sorts, but I definitely came away from this story feeling like the author’s intentions where to explore a disturbing relationship rather to fetishise it in some way... Definitely made me sit and think after I finished. The scene where he slaps him twice with a totally blank face and the last few pages in particular gave me actual chills. Very unnerving reading experience, would highly recommend for anyone looking for the same!!
Managed to make me feel this intense sensation of creeping dread as I read the story,,, VERY chilling and cleverly written. The art was absolutely gorgeous. Managed to make a very deep impression in a short amount of time. It was unnerving without being grotesque. The last panel especially gave me goosebumps. Definitely recommend.
Both stories were quite odd but I still liked them! The first was a little unnerving but the soft ending surprised me! (I personally thought the part where Cliff offered to tattoo Ross’s face onto his chest, implying ROSS was his ‘new god’, was very chilling - but I’m glad their story didn’t end tragically. The second story was totally bizarre but I found it really charming. The reveal for what ACTUALLY happened was strange but made the ending satisfying and sweet.
Of the two, I liked the second story best - while I thought the first was actually very interesting and had a lot of subdued subtlety, I was more pleased with the second story’s strange little romance. What an odd little read this was. Still, I was endeared!

I don't like children but they can be really cute that sometimes makes my heart clench and want me to punch myself in the gut for the unwanted butterflies.
Families are a plus too. I'm a sucker for parent x child, sibling x love, that I don't have because I'm an only child and pops still not back from buying that milk /j
Some of these I may have discontinued reading so I don't know if the story will end up bad later on.
