apopoi's manga / #Yandere(4)

The title is essentially the plot. How expected of a Japanese shoujo manga to have an overbearing and borderline yandere ML and a pushover and gullible MC. Although I prepared myself going into it, it irked me so much how the ML just decides everything and expects the MC to follow his wishes/demands. The first time they meet (again?). He just straights up kisses her, strips her, fingers her and fondles her breasts. That's not the worst part, the MC just goes along with it. Another thing is when she refuses to have sex with him and he is denied, he walks out all sappy like and the MC feels guilty and tries to apologize to him. That hurts me as a woman. Them having sex for hours even when MC told him to stop and he straight up replies 'I don't care'. Him seeing her make contact with the knight and him subtly slut shaming her while touching her saying 'It's bad when I do it? But Ok for him?' Like Sir that's sexual assault. Also in the sixth chapter, the og fl has a group of guys drug MC with aphrodisiac and had them strip her naked. That guy tried to rape her, ofcourse the ML shows up in the nick of time BUT I hate this. I hate that this kind of woman exist in this world who would have someone rape a fellow woman cuz of jealousy and possessiveness. The hypnotism power that og fl seems to have by making people look into her eyes does not ~surprisingly~ work on him. I wonder whyyy..

Maybe one day That day is now..I read upto ch30 currently and it's more impressive than I gave it credit for. The ML being brainwashed constantly for the past 6 years and the MC not being able to do anything about it was a bit strange to read. As it did not go into much detail about it, we did not see the process but saw the final result. The ML who pushed her and dislikes her now blushes at the sight of her and spew absurd claims of love. The funny thing is although the hallucination was for him to obey the whole family it seems like...he only obeys and follows the words of Serina. Also although the ML is being brainwashed, he seems to have some sort of autonomy left. Like him being in control and the MC seems to be the one being led around by him rather than the other way around like the MC thinks. Him actively disagreeing with what MC says or refusing to do certain things she commands. It's quite interesting. But I have a slight qualm about the art. The nose of the characters and the overall motion seems to be so rigid and mechanic. It gives off a strange feeling. The angles are also way off. Sometimes the scenes are not as impactful because of the art. The translation also seems to be so simple..I wish proper diction could be applied. That would increase the storytelling by heaps and bounds. Now currently at the latest update

I don't know how to feel about this. Frankly I'm very confused, I get the idea but the execution is severely lacking. The MC is hard to follow, she feels so empty..there's nothing interesting about her other than her ability to communicate with the eaters. More exploration on her mental state would be nice, but man she's just so stale. Also the story isn't gore enough and unsettling enough for this type of story.. Cannibalism and government vs rebels is a very interesting topic yet it still falls flat. The art style is wonky as hell.. There are no expressions on their faces, the angles, the body shape, the neck, the proportions.. Everything is off. Also that boyfriend of hers reminds me of CP9 Lucci from One Piece. That probably is the intended result yet we get him.. Whatever

I read this on Webtoon a while ago.. Like maybe 2 years~? And I remember being flabbergasted and if you think I like being spoiled now, you should see me then cuz I was searching for spoilers. So of course I knew that the girl was the real psycho and she had DID. I'm not sure if it represents the disorder properly or if it was done for the aesthetic without any proper research, so I won't mention anything about it. I do see people saying that the movie with James McAvoy was misleading and damaging for the people in that community so I won't be surprised if this is the same shit. Now I like the flashback on the MC, her dad was vile and her mom irresponsible for leaving her with that trash of a human being. I don't condone cheating but his disgusting behaviour couldn't have come up from nowhere right? Maybe it showed up in bits and pieces to her mom, or maybe she's trash as well. The "psycho bf" was so sweet and kind and I hate that we saw him for something other than his cinnamon self. Also how the MC based her personality from his gf? Whew! She broke them up.. The side eye the co-worker barista gave to her in hindsight is comical, the foreshadowing is nice but it could use a lot more work imo. So the ML is a green flag through and through, he also has personality. That's my gripe with green flag men in media, they lack the sauce that red flag men possess, but not him honey. He got all the rizz, personality, charm.. You name it. Also how he still loves her even after figuring out that she's the culprit. I think his first clue was when she fought that guy in the streets, the warning bells were ringing in his head! Also his bestie being a woman and them actually being friends? We love debunking myths that say men and women can't be friends. I love it here. He is such a kid around her and she is fosho the mom of the group.. The group now consists of him, her and MC. The MC and her getting along and being friends as well was the cherry on top
