oh hell no. under my regime, men getting in the way of yurious relationships will be sent to the gulag. we are going to beat that ugly blonde fuck to DEATH with hammers

to repeat myself... this was a pleasant surprise. was not expecting this level of depth and potential for a villainess manga with a yuri flourish. it may very well be #peak contender.

very much loved all the emphasis and reminders of reshutoka's feral qualities. every time the story lures us into a false sense of security and makes us think she's actually just a cute wolfgirl devoted to her princess, the rug gets pulled out under us and shows us what she really is - not just a human, but also a wild animal. a predator at that. and so far consistently each time moments like that happen, the art never fails to have her wolflike traits - the elongated fangs, the sharp claws, the slitted pupils - be very visible in the reader's view. the scene where she's just scarfing down a whole raw slab of meat with her canines protruding, long ass nails out, freaked-ouy pupils, the trail of DROOL down her chin... phenomenal. really drives home the fact that karina isn't dealing with a mere human here, she's dealing with a wild predator. and you know what happens when you try to domesticate wild animals (nope [2022] dir. by jordan peele my beloved)

it's been very enjoyable to see karina trying to navigate this relationship with reshutoka so far, one akin to a mutual symbiosis with a predator-prey tinge overlooming it as opposed to a relationship based on strong mutual trust borne from getting to know each other wholly. it was fun and interesting seeing her have to do this while juggling between strategizing how to best exploit this relationship for her own gains and struggling with her actual desires from deep within when faced with the revelation(?)/presumption(?) that reshutoka only sees her as this "ideal princess".

also i like how karina has actual strong self-respect and self-resolve, and that she lashes out and does things bordering on cruel - well, maybe it is JUST cruel - which should be what's par for the course for media starring proclaimed "villainesses". give me more manipulation lying controlling possessive vengeful #gaslightgatekeepgirlboss behaviour PLEASE!

anw hope the writing can keep it up without falling flat on its face. i'd love for the story to lean in more towards the whole wild animal, predator-and-prey, use-me-and-i-use-you fucked-upness baked into their dynamic but i also don't mind if they go the building mutual trust and affection after getting to know each other's true authentic selves route.

although to be completely honest, i'm only half-seated for this so far. granted it has only been 4 chapters, but i better see some male victims soom too so i'm not just sitting through a string of brutalized teenage high school girls.

on a lighter note, i do quite like uzu and sakura's dynamic. and i like uzu Period.

on an even lighter note, girl idk how they're all fighting and surviving over there i have a virtually non-existent intrinsic self-driven motivation to live so i truly cannot relate. if i had to grow up in a scary ass town that's legitimately cursed AND i have to grow up with a stupid ass name like Killyourself smith per tradition, brother no god given miracle is gonna stop me from just straight jorking it (offing myself by middle school the LATEST)

whoa, wasn't expecting this to have a new volume considering it all already felt wrapped up pretty nicely in the 2nd volume. absolutely not complaining though!

but enough about that. you know what's actually really questionable????? the fact that in japan??? GPs just... aren't a common thing??????? they're not commom specialties and it's implied to be a career path that's looked down on since shuji said it'd be hard to gain recognitiom for it... crazy. that's such an insane thing for me to wrap my head around. like you're telling me in japan if you have a mysterious illness with overlapping symptoms of various known illnesses and you don't know the cause of, the most common way to deal with it is that YOU'RE the one that has to make the judgement call on what type of specialist doctor you should see to help you with this without the opinion of a professional or expert weighing in??? and the specialist you're seeing trusts YOUR judgement, an uninformed person, to prescribe and carry out a treatment that may or may not address the underlying cause of the illness and work for you???? CRAZY.

also sidenote, pleasantly surprised seeing the faux choking scene - such a nice and far, FAR safer alternative to erotic asphyxiation, even compared to the methods of oxygen deprivation strangulation and blood choking that people believe are the "safer" methods. there will never not be risk of injury/damage when it comes to choking someone after all, so it's nice to see actual safe alternatives to it being shown in media - i'd love to see more stuff like this being explored, where couples get creative in the way they try to emulate and get the closest to bdsm experiences as they can as safely as possible.

... mid bitch you will never be kingdom hearts!!! #sorikuwashes #organizationxiiiwashes

an absolutely stunning piece of work. it's so excellent. sad this is a niche pick cause the illiterate incels on here pussy out at the first sign of gore and body horror, even when these elements are meant to be incorporated into the narrative and goes far beyond mere shock value and titillating torture porn, unlike the fuckass rapey abusive fetish bullshit they read and gaslight themselves into thinking as being more "okay" #lol.

really really loved watching m's descent into madness and obssession, oscillating between love and hate. it was such a thrilling experience seeing how far he'd go, all for the sake of his goal, in such single-minded intensity; it kept me on the edge of my seat every chapter. i thought it was poetic that in m's pursuit for greatness to become more and more demonlike and less and less humanlike, in the end, getting the closest to becoming the greatest and most ideal demon will leave you in the most painfully human state of all. m is doomed to walk the same trail that j left behind, and now they and their successors are probably gonna be stuck in a cycle, dancing the same tango of love and hate, obsession and loneliness. eat and be eaten - something something cannibalism as an allegory for gay love #eatingthatshitup

on a lighter note, im happy that d and s's story had a happy end to it... ill take any win i can in this story. thoughts and prayers to k for being stuck in unrequited love hell forever now ig, though depending on how you look at it that might be better than being stuck in "i let my obsessive hate slash love finetune myself into becoming the greatest demon of all for my master yet he used that to die in my face anyway" hell. #rip

also f and m... i know they be terrorizing the FAWRK outta demon society, the menaces.

kinda crazy how pyeonghwa's letting ole dude gentrify his neighbourhood for a fuck and a punch if u rly think abt it.

mokyeon sowing: haha fuck yeah!! yes!!!
mokyeon reaping: well this fucking sucks. what the fuck.

itsuki my sexyful cutieful beloved <3 also although i do want shuji to move so i can get at itsuki's hole myself i do enjoy how he went from lowkey to highkey pathetic

kyouko and midori are actually soo cute, kyouko especially like aww. i also like her sibling relationship with miyako. baba meanwhile can just go baba-bust his fucking balls bro he needa go die i can't stand having him around knowing what he did to midori like MOVEEE

anw the treatment of baba here really just reflects like... how normalized that absolutely god awful ingrained casual japanese misogyny and cheating culture really is huh, to the point that i can't even escape it from my yuri... gross!
