the pacing is way too fast, it negates the surprise/plot twist effect because one panel you're wondering what could it be and in the next panel everything is revealed plus it doesn't help that some scenes are terribly written :c
also the dialogue is a bit... cliche, it doesn't go with the dark/horror tone of the manga at all.
since its about a pedo serial killer novelist i can only hope he died terribly in the past and will die terribly in the future as well
since i still see a lot of brad is the better choice comments i feel the need to say that a guy willing to start a relationship by getting you to cheat on your s.o is a major red flag. someone who's willing to break apart an already existing relationship is most definitely not a good choice, of course cole is just as guilty for complying but he's trash so yeh
there's literally no way people still hate alex i mean he ain't a saint but he forgave cole for almost shooting him and cheating on him like i feel bad for the man
there's a lot of discourse about the donating "issue" i just wanna say there's no right or wrong in that aspect. alex is free to do what he wants but cole is also free to be bothered by it. also i think some of you might be a bit young so you might not quite understand the complexity of donating to someone you know and being bound to them by paperwork AND dna. for example if someday they need funds for the kid they're allowed to take you to court for child support, on top of that a child is a very easy way to manipulate someone into being with you. plus just because your partner is allowed do to whatever he wants doesn't mean you automatically have to go along with it. i strongly believe one should not donate if it makes their partner uncomfortable ofc only if you're willing to stay together for the long term. compromises and boundaries in a relationship are set only by the people in the relationship and no one else, thus again i say there's no right or wrong it's a matter of coming to a mutual agreement
the idea for this was interesting and it had potential but the execution was terrible. also the translation was off and nonsensical, despite being in english it felt as if i was reading raws which made it difficult to understand the context and personalities of the mcs... overall i don't think even a good translation would help rescue this manga
it's beyond funny that kanae is the one being jealous like he doesn't work in a massage parlor sucking off a different dude everyday pls... like how should that make haiga feel then ??
by now i should know better than to question yaoi logic but the reason kanae works there is to find love which is pretty ridiculous cause at most you'd end up finding a creepy stalker and a bucket load of stds ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
well whatever at least he's drawn pretty
i feel like the author should have added a couple more pages to follow up from chapter 1 cause the plot seems cut off somehow :c
i mean they just met and blondie didn't even want to associate himself with the uke so how come now he's taking him to clubs and getting jealous over uke talking with a girl... like what happened in between all of that to make him go from don't talk to me to im jealous and ill fuck you out of jealousy??
in the extra about kuzumi and rio in the car, i wish rio denied it when kuzumi asked him if he'd been doing it with other people during those 2 years they were apart. I know kuzumi said he didn't care since they weren't official and it's very unlikely that rio was actually doing it with other people but still i wish the poor boy got at least an answer especially because he told rio he'd been faithful the whole time :/
Rio did say he didn't do it with anyone else in the extra tho...
if you're referring to page 9 the panel in the bottom right corner, is that speech bubble not kuzumi saying it? that's how it seems like to me at least
Yea, that panel. The speech bubble "actually, I didn't do anything with anyone" is pointing at Rio and you can see text where it says "listen to me please" under that. Like kuzumi is going on and not listening to what he's saying.
You might have a point there, I assumed it was Kuzumi saying it cause he was yapping :D I've also forgotten how this scene plays out in the Tv Drama
