An Uncomfortable Truth

Complete | EErun | 2016 released

Masterful storytelling. This is probably one of the best manhwas I've ever read. I've never felt such an intense roller-coaster of emotions; from fear to discomfort to disgust to frustration. The depth of the backstories behind the characters and the way each of their stories were uncovered to reveal the motivations behind their actions was thrilling and fascinating and beautifully written. I felt sympathy and disgust towards each of the characters at some point throughout the story; the characters were so well-written. I've never seen such a masterful portrayal of the butterfly effect in a manhwa; it was frustrating that such a small petty misunderstanding could ruin years of a person's life, or how a small decision Jaeha made could alter his brother's whole mindset. The ending is just so tragic. Moreover, the art in this manhwa is probably one of its greatest assets, especially the faces that were drawn as monsters; they really made me feel disgusted and uncomfortable, and set the story's creepy atmosphere. If there was one thing I would improve, it would probably be the ending. It seemed quite rushed, and I felt Jaeha's death was not fully realized; it was not as impactful as it could have been.

Truth or Dare

It was a bit confusing at parts but the plot was intense and interesting. The character development and character writing was so good! The issues the story addressed, among which included misogyny were significant and portrayed well.

Mitto mo Nai Koi

Complete | Moriyo | 2015 released

Shockingly yandere seme and grotesque sex scenes. I still really liked it though. I found it sort of cliché at the end with the car accident but otherwise this was an interesting read.

Chou to Kumo no Su

Complete | Akabeko | 2000 released

Ohhh nice. Very possessive lover, interesting backstory, and an obsessive, twisted relationship. Super interesting!

Crazy Love

Complete | Yuzuru mikomo | 2019 released

I typically like twisted and yandere stories but the execution of this was terrible. The pacing was much too fast, there were extreme inconsistencies in the characters, and the romanticizing of Stockholm Syndrome was just not it. Not a fan, but it had potential.

Run Away With Me, Girl

Complete | Battan | 2019 released

I adored this series. The depth of the characters, the buildup of tension, intense atmosphere, angst, and drama really made this an unforgettable manga. I couldn't stop the buildup of tears as the chapters went on; the emotions were so heavy. This manga is so real and the last chapter got me so emotional. Beautiful characters and art.

4.5/5. Loved this. Harada vibes, super twisted and dark. I would've liked it to be longer, but otherwise I found it super interesting and thrilling to read. One of the most abusive and dark one-shots I've read!
