I LOVE THIS ART STYLE RAHHH (same artstyle as "Go For It Nakamura-Kun!") - A horror mystery writer uses his fame and talent for writing to lure in little boys who fall in love with him and he kills them. He kills 9 boys and the 9th is the mc and writes about how he killed them so detailed that it attracted readers. They all reincarnate along with the writer and the boys 1 by one kill him in the ways that he killed them in their past life. The writer keeps coming back until the last boy, the mc, reads the book from 80 years ago and gets his memories back as well as how he died. The writer explains that he's never felt fear before and the mc cant bring himself to kill the writer because he loves him too much. They sleep together and decide that if they die together, they'll reincarnate together and will be tied by the soul forever. Hoshi(mc) pulls out a knife mid-fucking and stabs yamada(killer). He realizes that he was wrong, yamada was lying, they wont be tied together if they die together because yamada won't really die. Hoshi realizes that the only way yamada can die is if he is killed in the same way he killed them. Yamada realizes that Hoshi understands the curse and gets scared for the first time in his lives. Since Hoshi is the last boy, if Yamada dies by his hand, he'll really die. Yamada pleads and says he's scared. Hoshi chokes Yamada to death and Yamada smiles upon finally feeling fear. Once Hoshi is done, he shoots himself, killing them both. The second he dies, his family doesn't remember him, implying he was either 1. only born to kill yamada. Or 2. he's been reincarnated and that life has been erased from everyone's minds. - I didnt expect to like it this much honestly it was really good. I enjoyed the psychological aspect of it and the artstyle - 4/5

all the beautiful things i remember this to be. Shocking, yet beautiful and captivating. In my memory, this obsession is saddening. Song - Beautiful One, The Cardigans

He's so manipulative. What Wujin said didn't make sense, but it undermines Haewon's confidence and takes away his control in their interactions. He's chipping away at him until Haewon becomes dependent on him. Very scary. It's kind of taming prosses... How scary of him doing something like that without feeling guilty “I let you touch me..and you’re just gonna go..?” ☹️ Executed the dark and disturbing tone very well Everything about this book gives me chills

Very misleading TW AMPUTATION

Started: 2023-02-07 Picked up again: 2025-07-22 Finished: 2025-07-22 - A quiet boy with not a lot of friends, who visits and cares for his "cousins" grave every other day, is invited to hang out over drinks by the popular guy. It's a whole party of people but mc turns it down to he can care for the grave. The popular guy reschedules the drinking party instead of just going without him and then offers to accompany him to care for the grave. There, he confesses to mc and mc gets flashbacks to when he confessed to his "cousin" in the grave- he was scared of his answer and felt disgusted. Mc didn't know what to say so the popular guy took the wheel and loved on him even without a direct answer to the confession. Soon they start dating and kissing, having lots of sex too. But mc keeps visiting the grave and the popular guy is getting angrier and angrier. Then, at the grave, mc is cleaning it and offering offerings as usual when the popular boy snaps. He slaps the mc to the ground and beats him up. He has noticed the way the mc still cannot get over the boy in the grave and he knows its not his cousin. He rapes the mc on the grave to "show the ghost the mc belongs to him". He then carries mc's out-of-it body back to his house where he bandages him up. From that moment, the senpai had started showing darker sides of him to scare the mc into doing what he wants. Mc's friend noticed the bruises and wounds on mc's body and while talking about it with him in the bathroom, senpai knocks out the friend with a metal pole and takes the mc back to his house where he handcuffs him and rapes him with toys. Mc sobs and apologizes to senpai to which senpai is rubbed weird because that wasn't the response he wanted. Senpai later kicks mc out and they go their separate ways until mc decides he's going to accept his senpai who's hurting(?). They get together and the mc is no longer scared of senpai. the end. - 2nd story - - 2 boys, coworkers at a restaurant. We aren't sure if they're dating but they're definitely exploring each other. One cuts the other's nails after work because he hurt his hand because the nails weren't cut right. As they sleep together, the bottom is nervous to tell the top that he's a masochist. He doesn't want to scare the top. Another boy who also works at the shop, has been itching to rape the bottom and so he does, in an alley. The top finds out and stops the rape. The top is a bit of a crybaby but it's okay. Then they fuck in the same alleyway after the coworker runs off. The bottom confesses, he's a masochist and the top, after they're done fucking, says he couldn't stop when he saw the bottom's messed up face. (insinuating that he's a sadist). The bottom is happy. the end. After sitting on this manga for so long, it really wasn't anything special. However, I did think the cutting nails part in the second story was heartwarming and cute. In the first story, I personally wouldn't have gotten back with the guy. He was sooo manipulative. He constantly twisted the mc's words to make him feel bad, AND he destroyed the grave??? soo disrespectful no matter what religion the mc is (buddhist). It really does get to a point. Thank you for the first story though. The manipulation and abuse made me think of the other manga (i've long forgotten the name now) where there are two abused exes of the same guy trying to get back at him and get together. Abuse always makes me feel on edge. I felt like *I* was walking on eggshells just reading this and I wasn't experiencing this. Thank you. 3.4/5️

This has good art, solid storyline, character depth, and cool and chilling scenes. I love everything about this!! Plus I’m a reincarnation fein. I feel really bad for the ML who was left yearning for the Mc for millennia just to see him return without his previous memories :( I actually hadn’t read this since last year July. I picked it up again and decided to read from the start and totally forgot how good this was. Everyone is so hot omg Also the sex must feel so intense since they share the same feelings so they would both feel like they’re fucking and getting fucked. That’s got to feel terrible how he waited 1500 years for his lover not having any answers as to why he betrayed him. This story is really interesting. The lover was so mysterious and I wonder what was keeping him up at night too like he was being chased. I like the moral question of is someone who they are because of their soul or because of their memories? Is the soul what makes someone them or their experiences? I know there’s nothing the Mc can really do until they get answers but I still feel so bad for the ml. It’s clear he wants comfort and to see his lover again and he has no answers himself while being forced into a new timeline with a new environment and everyone thinks he’s crazy. I would’ve lost it when the Mc doubted his memory and said they might’ve been corrupt after all these years.
