rainydays's manga / #Gore(9)

a retired army man is abducted and raped by the subordinate he once assaulted and pimped out. art is amazing but the story was pretty hard to get through. its a rape revenge and though i feel like the same story couldve been told with half the time (and less torture porn), the ending was interesting.

bran is stuck in his addiction due to the obsessive childhood friend andy that takes care of him. andys obsession later spirals out of control as he murders and tortures those around him to keep bran to himself. hands down the most blood curdling, disgusting thing ive read on this site so far! thought i could handle gore in art form but this was pretty bad, i feel bad for bran and i liked the parallelism when andy *supposedly* gets hit by a train.

space pirates loot a ship run only by an android, live to regret it when the 'host' wakes up. an uncomfortable but ultimately interesting read, i think it ended at a decent place but i wish there was more.

kanae starts to have disturbing dreams about killing her coworker and crush natsuko, to the point where she doesnt know which reality is the truth. honestly very cool, i like the setup of kanae dreaming, and the reader is supposed to guess which part is actually the dream (the murder reality or the happier reality). interestingly done!

not the worst ive seen in terms of gore n stuff but still pretty disturbing, the ml's past & current situation is interesting. not sure if there is more but it feels like a oneshot.

ngl i have no idea whats going on art was so cool with the 3d perspective but the scat really threw me off, wtf did I just read??

a girl who undergoes multiple abortions to outdo her nemesis i really cant tell how the author came up with something like this... it went from extremely disturbing, to oddly entertaining to just numb acceptance at the end.

izaemon mutilates his wife iwa to earn social points. would have liked this more as a work of horror if the ending had been different. its an interesting take on yotsuya kaidan, extremely graphic and hard to get through, but disappointment really settled in when iwas ghost just decides to continue to serve izaemon instead of making his life a living hell.

a man takes his wife on vacation to restart their lives after their sons death, though his meaning of 'restart' turns out to be very literal. there is discourse over who is at fault, i'd say both husband and wife were quite awful in their own ways. gotta give props to the artist for making everything so detailed yet grotesque, the story was really creepy and though the ending was weird, it still felt in character.
