I can’t get over that Anubis the literal god of fucking death is a twink
Snaps to that
Does anyone know if there’s a translated version of the novel? This looks like something I would really enjoy!
People talking about not being able to enjoy the sex scenes, well yea your not supposed to. It’s not romantic at all, it’s a representation of all the pain Seiji has to go threw to just survive. It’s fine if it makes you uncomfortable, but don’t talk like you’re the first one to notice that it’s fucked up.
My question is does the blue king actually have feelings for him or is he just abusive and saying things like "I love you" to confuse him?
probably to confuse him, because i think after he says it he taunts him for relying on love?? or sth like that
Yea like the person above said, it’s kind of to taunt and make fun of him for being so emotional. I highly HIGHLY doubt the blue kind holds any kind of feeling it’s of love towards Seiji.
Well yeah it’s not romantic but it sure as hell is sexual, that’s what’s unsettling about it
They could illustrate him being raped without making it sexual.
They actually don't? Seiji is in pain most of the panels (aside from the few where he hears the word "love"...poor guy) and the Azure always has this mocking expression on his face (either like he's laughing at his misery or just consoling a child throwing a tantrum)
It’s literally a hentai... it’s not meant to have a story or plot or be anything more than something you jack off to. Imagine watching porn and criticizing it to the standards of a normal movie. That shit don’t add up.
This almost hit the mark but then fell flat. It’s sad cuz it looked pretty promising...I’m happy for those who enjoyed it though!
like it wasn't psychotic enough?? i feel u.... nothing like killing stalking...
There was a huge tonal imbalance and the whole psychotic theme felt really out of place. By the end they basically just forget about it and pretend they’re a perfectly normal couple.
I completely agree with u
The fact that there are no tall girl jokes in the comments is really disappointing.
You think your life is hard? I’m a high school junior wearing size 13 nikes. Men’s size 13 nikes. Beat that
Thank you, I really appreciate that
um iim taller than most boys in my class taller than ladies older than me im taller than my mother same height than my older brother still getting all almost my dads height only 6 more inches to go
Ooh, I wear a men size 11, I’m a male though
Lol this comment made my day
Thanks, xd , good to see someone laughed at that joke
as much as I wanna beat the shoe sizes I can't. I'm a girl about 5 in tall and size 9 men in shoe.
you have stage 4 cancer? well i wear size 13 men nikes!
Honestly Sys just give me your designer cuz you out here lookin hella cute and I’m here looking like a burnt chicken nugget. I really just wanna be Sys, I mean he already reflects me emotionally all I need now is to look like him (that ain’t ever happening I’m too fuckin ugly) . That’s my life goal now just to become Sys, I think it’s pretty valid.
Saaame fam, saame
It started so strong and then the author just decided to drastically change the tone of the story in the middle of it. Like one minute it’s a gripping physiological and the next she just decided that she actually wanted to write a fluff. But she just didn’t feel like changing the first part of the story and all we’re left with is this.
I can not stress this enough; if you are writing a story and choose a general tone STICK WITH IT. there is absolutely no way to change a dark psychological into a fluff if you don’t set that shit up from the beginning.
Assuming that this manga is first serialized in a magazine (as most mangas do) before being put together as a book of its own, during the magazine serialization the editor and the magazine actually do have quite a power over the author (actually the magazine owns the license of the story, not the author themselves, so if a magazine goes bankrupt while a manga is in between serialization the author can only continue it if they bought the license back)
So it could be that the magazine sees the original approach to not be popular, and suggest the author to change style. Authors might disagree but, well, eventually influenced to do so. It’s not always the author that gets to decide how the story will proceed.
*usually manga magazines is a collection of different ongoing manga (just the latest chapter though). For chapter after ch1, you sometimes see tiny box of text summarizing what happened in previous chapters. If readers haven’t been following the story before, it could actually be easy to take a whiplash turn from how the story was previously. Just that it’ll be much more obvious when the manga chapters are collected in a book later...
Yea I get it and I feel bad for authors in that situation, but it’s something that I have seen pretty consistently through multiple manga and manhwa. In the long run it just seems obvious to keep it consistent but since most of these companies are banking on the periodical success it’s understandable why they would force the authors to change the story.
