Blue's manga / #Gruesome(2)

• 1 star: I don't know if there are errors because I only got 6 chapters in before tapping out. This is basically just a bunch of incredibly unnecessary and gruesome things all piled into one horrible mess. There are many ways to go about bringing up the topic of childhood trauma and it's affects without something like this. I get it's supposed to be fucked up, but I believe there is a limit and this is just not for me or anyone else even remotely sane. Wouldn't actually label it as BL as their "connection" is more of a trauma bond than anything, but it was difficult to tag this. ️: The story follows Bum, a young mentally ill man with a difficult past. After becoming infatuated with Oh Sangwoo, a peer from his time in the military who saved him from a rape attempt, he decides to enter Sangwoo's home while he is out of his house. Bum finds a tied up, bruised woman in Sangwoo's basement and before he is able to free her, he is discovered by Sangwoo, who is revealed to be a serial killer.

• 2 stars: This was decent until the very end where author suggested that his abuser was still a love interest. Are you kidding me? After all that? ️: After a car accident, Taemin finds himself in the body of Siwon, a victim of bullying at school. No longer a pushover, he starts standing up for himself but then meets Woojin, an old friend from the past. Somehow, Woojin immediately picks up Taemin's 'scent' from Siwon. What happened between these two in the past and how will it affect their future?
