Hellerstern's manga / #Deep(5)

This is the story that made me the most emotional so far in my reading journey. I cried so much of anger, pain, frustration, sadness, disgust and so on. The author really made feel so much emotions and made me think about so much things with the deep theme of peer pressure she presented in this story. When she said she wanted to write about conventionally trashy people, I didn't expect it to be this bad. Everyone in this story's damn school needs to go to therapy. Mob mentality is scary. Everyone was psycho or becoming psycho because of this damn game. So many people had so much darkness in their hearts it was unsettling. Maybe expect Atsumu since he was so kind and naïve but almost he strayed from the right path cause of Kuze. What was too much in this story was the rape. It's really too much almost unbearable considering the characters are all children (15 to 16 years old). Every "couple/pair" portrayed (except one) in this story was toxic, Azusa and Karino in particular. The only couple where love emerged naturally without manipulation or anything was Tatsumi and Senzaki. Their love for each other was in a way "pure" even though they were the most weird couple. I also like the couple Atsumu and Kuze even though they started with Kuze manipulating Atsumu, but when they opened to each other their relationship took a new turn and didn't feel toxic anymore. Anyway, there's one character in this story I despise above all and not forgive no matter what and it is freaking Eno. The guy needed to pay for everything he's done. In fact, all the people that went along with Eno's fuckedupness needed to pay. The ending of this story was ok but not satisfying enough for me. To many things were just wrong, too many people were traumatized for life. And too many didn't pay for what they did. I don't think I'll ever forget reading this story. I'm still crying while writing this review and thinking about everything. In conclusion, this story was twisted and vile beyond anything and so well crafted. Some things could've have been improved to make it better though. But still, I liked and hated reading it. Thank you Ogawa Chise.
