kyokosama's manga / #psychological(24)

Riu and Yashiro are childhood friends, sex friends and classmates. They've been together most of their lives and now, after Riu's mom is pregnant, that relationship seems impossible to keep. In Riu's eyes, he's an useless human that has let down his parents expectations and he might be kicked out any time now, so in order to prevent that from happening, he decides to break up with Yashiro, wjo loves him more than anything. A lovely story of two sad boys, this is such a great an emotional story.

Mitsuo and Mitsuo met at highschool and since then, Mitsuo has taken Mitsuo as his dog. Later, when they're adults, Mitsuo receives a call from the other Mitsuo asking for his help. He's killed a woman and need help with the body. Their twisted relationship will take a change when both come to an understanding of they liking each other.

I want to be really clear with this. My 5 star rating is due to the way the author took its story. Not for the smut, even when there're plenty of it. Like: wow! At the beginning it gave off a frustration feeling the whole time. Hyung refused to take therapy or any kind of professional help after being brutally kidnapped and raped for 1 days by a child whom he considered his younger brother. As expected, he drowned more and more into destructive behaviour as a way of self-punishment, redemption,... Fortunately, he meet people who try to help him even when they know what he wants under the disguise of help it's not help at all. They just want to be there to support Hyung which I find wholesome and at some point doubtful. I keep thinking if that was the best way to help him but sure it did. I'm pretty content with the path things went through. This was definitely a journey.
