Arieno's manga / #Supernatural(5)

I find it better that the uke leaves that prison-like island place, have a fresh start at life and just move on already. I'm shocked how he can take up all the stuff going on (although the fault also lies in those 'people') and the amount of humiliation, shame and guilt would he had felt if he could catch a break. Unfortunately, the 2nd ML can't aid him too much and also seems to be stuck in a more difficult situation than him. Hopefully, his last and only good friend remains alive, since the others considered him as a pushover. The seme is a piece of sh*t after all, he manipulated the uke so many times and only thought of him as a f*ck toy. No amount of justification can deny the things he did to him and the choice to escape was revoked as well. He was a lucky person who met an unlucky guy and brought bad luk upon himself.

Reading this on a certain friend's death anniversary feels overwhelming a bit, but this did give me some space for imagination. Even if one has to move on in life, it doesn't go away easily. If not for the supernatural tag, the MC would have just fallen into despair. The sad part is, if one observed carefully, Hikaru being replaced and a 'faker' clinging close to Yoshiki feels like him (MC) unable to live for himself and his friend's death haunting him everywhere, cuz believe it or not, he's still a dead body and the real one is no more (as of now, though it may change, not sure) which makes him choose between reality (a world without Hikaru) and pleasure (losing oneself)

I just love the charas as they are. The fact that most stereotypical clichés and troupes are broken apart makes me realise just how satisfying it feels to read this. The plot is slightly complex, but easy to understand if connected the dots together. I can also say for now and even till the recent chps. that this is one of the amnesia plots done well even if this doesn't have a novel version. Till now, 2 world stages + vacation world side stage has been completed. The next one is a new stage featured around BL instead of a straight couple plot. Only one thing is, no smut scenes are depicted, so a slight letdown, but nevertheless glad that supporting charas are also mentioned, only thing I'm worried about is the ending part. Sometimes conclusions aren't ended properly, so the level of pacing right now is fine.

For those who still hesitate to read the novel, go and read it! The latest chp. (65) isn't even the beginning for what's to come next and the interactions they have with each other is more complex than they portray here. It becomes more serious as the cases of coincidences with the MC is caused by an external factor and one major incident occurs due to that. From there on, it's literally surviving to live and struggle, at times comedic with jokes or the next moment being horrific to the point of being disgusted when certain sects get involved in the conflict. In short, it's more about thinking, making plans, changing tactics than mere battling, prying into the unknown with care and how there are monsters in human skins and Beyonders be it good or bad, dealing with inner demons. Also, returning back to Earth isn't simple as advancing the sequences. The manhua did utter downplay to this, just try the novel. (Praise be to Mr. Fool!)
