Starsandmetaphors's manga / #Dark(5)

Summary went from 0 to 100 real quick Then I read the story and realized sometimes things can get even worse. This is not '''it's not my cup of tea'' this is ''disturbing in levels that may leave anyone uncomfortable and horrified.'' The tags do NOT do justice in telling you what you can expect from this story, so you might still end up not quite knowing what you're about to read. So what should be said is this: Trigger warning!: penises get cut in half, people are tortured, human flesh is forcibly ingested. There is a lot of explicit gore, blood and rape scenes. And no, there is no happy ending. So if you go in, go in with CAUTION.

Warning: GRAPHIC/EXPLICIT SELF HARM IMAGERY. Please don't read this if that triggers you. I'm going to elaborate on this warning a little more, because it seems that some people in the comment sections are taking it lightly. Some people seem to think that just because this is a Harada story, that it's enough of a forewarning for what you might read in this story, but it really isn't. Many people are not aware of the kind of content that Harada draws/writes about. Most of all, no one has the foresight to know just exactly what they're about to read regardless of what kind of content an artist tends to put out, which is why warnings are put in place. This warning is not here as a way to appear as a whiny or uptight reader who you might think feels the need to complain when it comes to disturbing content, but as someone who understands very well that some content can lead to relapses for very real people. Self harm is something that normally does not appear in comics, which includes Harada's stories. For those who struggle with self harm or have a past of self harm, I have to warn you to stay away from this story if graphic self harming images could lead to you relapse or trigger you in any way. Please be aware that this story also contains rape and mental health issues. If you're looking for a story about self harm that might comfort/educate you on the subject, you won't find it here. It also does not have a happy ending. So please, tread with caution.
