loi_fish's manga / #Dark(8)

All the ways horrifying, and all the ways dark. This manga sends chills down my spine and makes me nervous to keep reading. It's so fucked up in so many ways but it tackles quite an interesting concept. The sinister tone of the story is encourage by the art style and sfx as you would expect. Too bad the romance breaks the tone. Shitty ML x FL, shitty romance, shitty timing. Went from 5 stars to 2. This mangaka is too obsessed with cramming in fanservice which offsets all the pacing, overall mood of the story and makes all the brilliance of this: moot.

Ongoing, U2D. Heartbreaking, devastating and emotional. The art is complex and unconventional but I adore it. It took a while for me to warm up to but it didn't put me off reading it. Lots of symbolism and beautiful story-telling. Prepare the tissues because the emotional turmoil just grows and grows the more you read. Definitely not a light-hearted time, but still a comfort read for me, nonetheless.

Ongoing, U2D. Really enjoyed reading, chilling and enthralling. Although, some of the fanservice is a bit off-putting.

Overall tense, mild-medium violence and dark with light comedy between major plot points. Distinctive art-style, enjoyable aesthetic. Strong storyline. Good characters but is definitely more drama & plot centric than character development centric.

Ongoing, U2D.

Read this a while back, had a skim through just to refresh my memory. It's got a cool concept but idk, reading it was kind of boring and didn't rrally find any of this memorable outside of the concept. Maybe I'm not giving this a fair shot but I'm not interested enough to find out, oops...

What a thrilling read. Had great fun reading and loved every second!

The art is great and action is fun but that's as far as my praises go right now. I'm reading this on the WEBTOON app and I have mized feelings about the story
