rainydays's manga / #fucked up(13)

jinhyuk goes to jail for scamming women, gets raped by a feminist murderer. once again, just torture porn with an actual mind break at the end. art is nice but the story was quite unpleasant.

childhood friends yuma and ken are a comic artist and editor duo, with both trying to keep the other to themselves. the top comments on this one are misleading. yes, yuma is obsessive, but its not onesided. think: the twist the idol tried to do, but done better. ngl this is problematic, as the relationship is really toxic from both sides and there isnt a healthy resolution, but personally i was pleasantly surprised with the end of the story, as i thought this was just gonna be another typical stockholm syndrome manga.

hmm it gives me mixed feelings-- on the one hand i can acknowledge how awful the situation is for both parties and how disturbing this was, on the other hand the morbid fascination and appreciation for the storytelling also pushes through. great art though, despite all the unsettling themes & ending.
