queerdinosuar's manga / #Psychological(73)

Hmm as someone with a degree in psychology, the ethics of this situation are questionable from the start. I mean psychoanalysis is less than scientific at best. the author just goes making up psychological concepts like “father’s law” and having a plot point be how crack is a hallucinogen and a narcotic (it’s neither, a stimulant and does not have that effect) and that everyone in the US uses it. That said, it is super interesting psychologically to watch a man who is trying to get better and work through his trauma. I do absolutely love the artwork though. The artist has such an interesting way of expressing things and does a lot with interesting angles I don’t often see. Shots from underneath the characters feet or body or putting things upside down, it’s very visually interesting and communicates a certain disconcerting feeling.

Gotta say, kinda fucked up story, but the visual design and coloring are awesome. It’s a cool concept too, with the play on beta from omegaverse and beta fish in fish bowl. The art is just beautiful and it’s a well told story, you don’t find out how truly fucked up it is until the end when it turns out his friend orchestrated his bullying, his parents death, and his turning into an omega all to control him completely. But it’s also more complicated than some stories with manipulation and control as a theme since the main character does seem happy for right now even though he’s being controlled. Well written. Hmmm idk about my conclusion before, this guy just keeps getting worse and worse. On top of controlling everything about his partner and turning him into an omega against his knowledge or will and killing his parents, he also apparently assaulted him every night in his sleep before they were together.

This was so bad, so much set up and very little pay off. The shitty rich top guy never changes and yet the story pretends he has. He just manipulates and keeps things from the other guy for so long. I really disliked this and thought the storytelling was really bad.
