Meridian's manga / #Yaoi(95)

Trigger warning all-around. Interesting plot twists, basically a dark porno.

So so cute in the beginning and takes a turn for the smut after the first season. Great relationship and amazing smut scenes in general. The only thing was that as much as I love yandere's there were several moments that pulled me out of the story as I asked myself... Is this a little too toxic? Even though I say that I adored the ML's obsessive behavior and very, very well-drawn expressions. I live for the faces yandere's make behind their partner's back and this one was *chefs kiss*. In the end ML was decently self-aware of most times he became toxic and reigned it in, so I was able to enjoy it!

My favorite part of this is the ending. No 'but what about morals?' qualms and back and forth, just acceptance for what he is. Super refreshing. Also, at no point in the story did I fully understand what was going on with the horrors and supernatural. And I mean that in the best way possible. I spent the whole story trying to follow clues along with MC to figure out what his past was and what that meant was going on in the present.

Absolutely hysterical. The art was incredible for comedy and I loved the interactions between the MC and ML! Interesting twist at the end that I actually didn't see coming. The only thing was at the point where I felt like some of the chapters were blurring together and probably could've been shortened into a condensed plot, it suddenly ended. It sharply turned into everything resolving itself within a couple of chapters mixed with flashbacks that appeared out of nowhere and made me feel like I was on a trip. I had a terrible time trying to understand those last few chapters and then it was over.

The art gets absolutely gorgeous, like I'm drooling over several characters and taking screenshots. The storyline was super straightforward yet still interesting! Anyways, it was a pretty great short read.

Good smut mixed with some misunderstandings for plot.

Some annoying noncommunication but otherwise super fluffy and adorable! The last third of the story was the best where they were just being a happy couple.

Sooo cute and great smut scenes! I really enjoyed the tiny angst moment where the ML got what he deserved for being douchy in his intentions and then how quickly it was resolved. Normally, I like to see them regret and suffer more but this was timed in a way that felt like he was truly sorry and it was happier for MC to have it resolved. Overall plenty of fluff and cuteness!

I love the character development and role reversal as they grow into themselves. The abuse at the beginning was hard to read and gave Killing Stalking vibes but watching them both heal from their trauma made it worth it. Also, it was interesting to see the point of view of the abuser and realize that if he hadn't been traumatized himself he could have had a loving relationship with MC. You still hate him and he's a sick bastard but you feel pity for what could have been.
