rainydays's manga / #Murder(6)

the life story of a evil incarnate, a sociopath & serial killer whose choices brought him to his death. extremely disturbing read from all angles-- imagery, storytelling, overall concept it had me feeling empty by the end, though do i feel like the ending was a bit anticlimactic.

hoshino has recurring dreams about a serial killer, which are somehow connected to his long time crush yamada. goosebumps the first time i finished it.... beautiful art coupled with a twisted story,, i love how things slowly fall into place as you read and then make complete sense on the re-read. phenomenal read, though i desperately wish there was more. i am just sitting here gobsmacked, NEED to buy a physical copy asap.

child predator christ is revisited by the traumatized man he groomed as a child, throwing his life straight into hell truly a fucked up read, i feel bad for literally everyone except for christ. wish there was more for the ending, though, that felt a bit anticlimactic.

miho kills her girlfriend miho after she says that she wants to break up honestly interesting in execution (pun not intended) with the way miho has a two sided convo by herself, but it was too short to make any other impression.

louann connects with the mistress of her workplace after finding out that shes a cannibal murderer pretty good premise, though i wish there was more present-day storytelling to balance out the backstory-heavy narrative this had. loved the art, though, and the character dynamic between the two was unique.

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.
