READ ON BATO.TO FOR OFFICAL TRANSLATION BC THIS ONE SUCKS
currently 6am, i started this at 3am and had to pause at chapter 4.5 since i'm working on a final project (OB) and all i can say is
2 songs: Strangers-- Ethel Cain "AM I MAKING YOU SIIIICK" & Not a lot just Forever-- Adrianne Lenker "I could be a good mother"
thats it.
lots of feelings. lots.
even though the story could be better/ or maybe it needs a better translation
but honestly i still like it
def a hidden gem
i like these types of stories, v underrated ones that ppl hardly know or talk about
theyre usually japanese short manga too
i love the overall feel of this
manga where you can feel raw emotions, where you can feel desperation, and no smut, the smex scenes are limited and a bit subtle which makes you feel the desperation even more, it's more intimate like that in a way i cant rly explain it and v sensual 19/4/24
can i also say just: Ethel Cain.
bc it's SO crazy how i came to read abt her on tiktok and listen to this song (Strangers: am i making you feel sick) and another song "no one was coming to save me so i just prayed" by her
and i decided to read this at the same time
it's so crazy to me
how ironic they're all related
the church aspect, the religious trauma, waiting to be saved, yearning to find home and finally finding it in another person only to be met with a gruesome end [18:31]
ALSO THE WHOLE ALBUM IS CALLED PREACHER'S DAUGHTER!!! U SHOULD LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE THING
NOW WHY AM I JUST FINDING THE OFFICIAL TRANSLATION (on bato.to) WHEN IM ALREADY AT CHAPTER 5 THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING 20/4/24 [03:22]
