QQ Mobile's manga / #dark(5)

Since this series is on-going, all I have to say is that the concept is very promising. Hopefully, the execution won't fall flat in the preceding chapters. (And please, less rape and more emotions.)

A very powerful one shot. The story mainly focuses on the POV of the older brother, so there is very little understanding of what the younger brother thinks. Somehow, there were plot holes left unaswered (probably because it's so short), but people who like dark/angsty reads might like this. WARNING: incest CONS: characters are too bony, anatomy was off in some panels

Pe-pe-pe-perfect! While every chapter is filled with drama, the character relationships still get developed well enough for the romance (or whatever bonds were formed) to be believable and realistic. As usual, I adore how Yoneda-sensei takes two broken individuals and pairs them up so that they can make each other whole again. It's really an unconventional love affair between the straight-laced Doumeki and the loose Yashiro. Once you immerse yourself in this manga, you'll start to get the feeling that both of them are descending to the pits of hell with no regrets.

I dunno... Something about the uke's missing backstory bugs me. It makes the manga feel like it started in the middle of the story. The story needs more polish but the art is up my alley. I like it!

Just... a full five stars because the story is amazing! I usually like to nitpick about the art and other stuff but I just glossed over all my criteria because the story is just so sad, powerful and very impactful. This is not for readers who like their yaoi sweet and fluffy.
