madd's manga / #So toxic it’s a biohazard(53)

There is nothing worse than running into a comic that is just boring af. One thing about some BL even though 90% of it is toxic, unhealthy SA relationships it’s at least mildly interesting. This one is just like nothing. It’s ironic how this comic is about baseball, and I felt the same about reading this comic, the same way I feel about watching a baseball game. I don’t even really like sports romance BL, but I was willing to give this a try because I wanted to see why it was so popular, but I don’t get it. Like what did yall like about this? All the characters are boring, annoying, insufferable, or are just there to serve the plot. The hoobae is annoying and doesn’t even really serve a purpose to the plot. The seme is just mean to everyone for no reason, like he doesn’t even have a seriously ‘sad backstory tm’ to make up for it he just sucks. And I get that beauty is subjective, but like, he looks just a normal dude on the street. He looks like the side character or extra I’ve seen in every BL I’ve read, he’s just not attractive… at all, it doesn’t make sense for him to be popular at all. How does even have friends, how do his teammates tolerate him. If they lose he takes it out on everyone, if they win he’s still mad and takes it out on everyone. He literally smashed the MC into a wall cuz he couldn’t bother to communicate his feelings, like who does that. I honestly feel like that’s an abusive relationship waiting to happen, cuz god forbid the seme encounters a minor inconvience and decides lets ignore my bae all day for no reason or apesh*t on him and not explain anything. Anyways I hate this, I regret wasting my time on this. The art is servicable, it’s a nice style but all the character designs look plain af, so it’s just boring to look at. Just take my 1 out of 10. Honestly I don’t even want to put this in my already read. This was the most nothing burger crap I’ve read in my life.

So the bird basically watched the mc from the moment he was born and everyone in his family grow and then decided to SA him instead of explaining the situation about the snake. Okiii… •-•

Bro I don't even know how to feel about this chief. That mom f-ed up that kid. It's just so sad. This is like if boy moms had a horror movie. Stuff like this is so easier to read than horror with scary creatures or occult-ish stuff. Because the scariest thing in this world are people. Even just seeing her loom over him in public spaces or the fact she's just in the same house is just terrifying. There's no scary violins or 'dun dun duns' when your parents abuse you in real life, it's just them and you, and that's probably scarier. I'm glad I read this tho, but man it just left me lowkey numb and emotional at the same time. You just feel for Seiichi. I know that he did end up murdering Shigeru when he was finally trying to get better, but it wasn't his fault, he was definitely in some form of psychosis and experiencing schizophrenia to a certain extent. And I mean his mother YEETED HIM OFF A CLIFF, so I think it's fair to say that would mess up something in his head to a certain extent. I'm glad that even though they explained Seiko's actions (I won't even grace her with the title of mother) they didn't excuse it, because she really hurt people, she killed people, even though she was hurt herself, there was no excuse for it. I don't even know if I can reread this because it's just such a hard read, but I think it's one that both parents and kids need to read. Although my only gripe is that in some areas it's just crude for no reason. It's real and it just makes the story hit home harder, but like I didn't really need to see 13 year olds try and bone on my screen or jerk off- I could've done without that. I get why those scenes were there, but it was just too much for me. Either than that I really like this manga, I like stories that leave me feeling emotional.
