あ's manga / #Psychological(4)

3+/4- Story about a guy who desperately wants to be loved, so he tries to be a perfect likable person who everyone loves (and succeeds!) But because everyone loves how he acts, not necessarily what his real self is like, his need for love isn't really fulfilled (as he is lead to realise by his obceessed rapist) His stalker realizes both his 'fakeness' and his desperation to be loved, and takes advantage of it to manipulate him into continuing their (physical) relationship. It's fairly okay as a One-shot, tells a complete story in a straightforward way. For me it was unnecessary focused on smut at the end, and wasn't particularly remarkable even if interesting and well done. (I had this as a One-shot, but apparently it's just incomplete. Not sure where it could go from here, whether it'll be the main character further descending into progressively worse situations and deteriorating mental health, or the 'healing' route. Because of the smut focus, I'd wager it's the first option, although I'd be nice for once to see a character getting support and help)
