I started this manga thinking it was going to be a lighthearted comedy with some gross/violent scenes here and there. I was planning on reading 1 or 2 ch per day to make it like my complementary reading while I was commuting on my weekdays, but after ch 10 I was not able to let it go. I ate it (never a better use of that metaphor) in less than a week and OMG what a delicious course.
This story is INSANE.So good. Now I need to put my hands in a physycal copy of this asap.

I don't get those mental contortionism done to try to minimize the mlm here. Yes it is not a fluffy story about the cute side of romance, it's more in the side of sadnes and horror and mistery, but it's still a mlm. Love is not only the fluffy part, it's also about lost or things not said and the representation of those feelings here is sooooo well done, that trying to undermine the mlm element is so incomprehensible for me. I've seen that in A LOT of reviews for this story and it just makes me think "why?" Why is it so hard to think that maybe mlm is just about the relationship of the main characters and that things can happen around that and, even more, that those things can be related with mistery and a horror story setting? That doesn't make de relationship of the characters any less valuable, it actually reinforces the mistery and horror elements due to the relationship and how complicated the situation about these 2 characters is...

I humbly disagree, yoshiki is often seen reflecting on his love for Hikaru through memories. Him projecting Hikaru onto Lord Brainsnatcher to avoid accepting his death & Lord Brainsnatcher feeling what Hikaru felt for Yoshiki has set up a troubling dynamic where they’re both drawn to each other for their own reasons. It’s not cookie cutter but if anything I’d call this traffic mlm

This is so good! Somehow I keep thinking like "this could've only come out of a japanese mind". The MC being the way he is, the plot surounding words and how the things not explicitly said still affect the people involved and the world itself, the thing about owning the right to say someone's name... It has just a lot of interesting elements, crafted together in a crazy story about morally atrocious people like... This is soooooo good!
Old Xian if you are reading this I was only joking about my mature dorky men in love... BUT THANK YOU ANYWAYS!!
