stressedpenguin's manga / #dark(14)

not my jam. objectively no less than a 7 but personally like 3/10

WARNING: depictions of suicide in ch 4. Well hey, they're both over 18. What a surprise. Kid gets molested on a train and asks the molester to violate him more. Everyone here is depressed. 4 or 5/10

I think I got 3 chapters into this but I'm not really into psychological stuff

uke works as a prostitute at a hole in the wall establishment in order to pay off some debts. his childhood friend who he was in love with runs into him and drama ensues. uke had to suffer a lot of abusive sex from gross clients, which was really uncomfortable to read. 5/10. i don't like pain when it's not consensual

Bro wtf. Both seems suck. Dude I had hope when the second one saved the uke from the abusive first one AND THEN HE TURNS AROUND AND GWTS VIOLENT HIMSELF IVER SMTH THE FIRST SEME SAID. B r u h. These guys suck?? Abuse =/= s&m??? ಠ_ಠ is this story tryna say huh??? 2/10 maybe even a 1 if i think about it too hard

kinda messed up story of a guy running into the guy he raped in hs or smth, and now the guy (who's his bus driver) rapes him back. not my thing. 3/10

Uke's entire family died in a tragic accident, and now it's just him and his nephew trying to survive life together. The hot and mysterious guy running a small restaurant in the town they move to takes in interest in them and they start building a relationship. The overall tone is melancholy as all three main characters are suffering from painful experiences, and it's sweet how they fumble through supporting each other in their developing relationships. There's some angst, some drama, and some ghosting, and there's a This story gets two big pluses from me: 1) The kid actually has agency. He's not used as a plot device. The story takes him seriously; it doesn't do that thing where they just call him cute and ignore that he's a real person with real feelings. Still looking for a story where the adults validate even the silly things kids get upset over because... like it's silly to us but very impactful to them and--I'm getting worked up lol. Anyway, this story did the kid justice. 2) The single mom the uke makes friends with is amazing and feels like a real person. For all the degrading the seme did of women, I was worried this would be another BL where everyone woman is shitty. But this mom was incredible and her handling of her son was incredible. I know this is like almost the bare minimum, but I'm happy to see it. Also a plus is the sex is consensual. Aside from the somewhat dubious bit because alcohol, the seme doesn't force the uke into anything sexual. I appreciate it. This is an 8/10. Would be 6/10 but it gets +2 for the kid and mom friend

This was horrible. The seme has manipulated every aspect of the ukes life and when the uke finally finds out, he locks him up and paralyzes his legs so he can never leave. This was beyond fucked up. God I hate these fucking stories. Why the fuck did I read this. I hate myself now. 1/10.

Read this a loooooong time ago and dont remember much tbh. I dont think I liked the seme cuz he was either abusive or just an asshole or smth. Dunno. Too tired to care. Think it might have been good as in cohesive and understandable, which is more than I can say for other stories. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I have no clue. Ima slap a 6/10 on this.

Uhh read this a long time ago and don't remember much cuz a lot happened. the ending was a lot, there may or may not have been a suicide and some kinda god thing. Uh I didn't like it all that much so 6/10 good just not jam
