RoseMary's manga / #Psychological(156)

5 for the first story: Religion // Cult // Drugs // Priest x Brainwashed Drug Addict who needs salvation. Despite having been confined and chained, Father Ross wants to save the young Cliff, who didn't believe in anything anymore and ultimately followed the wrong path because he was brainwashed and thought that was the right way. This story is so touching, cause sometimes you're in the dark even without knowing and you just need someone that gives you a hand to find light again. Compassionate Father Ross becomes the young boy's source of happiness, true happiness ➸ A quote that comes to mind: "Can you become someone's sun?" - Saiyuki Gaiden

Hermaphrodite // Rape // Blackmail

This is a manga that not everyone can appreciate: it's a deep story with dark ambience; it could be difficult to follow the timeline, as there is a non-linear storytelling. It's philosophical, there are many reflections and notions; it's so brainstorming. The art is also particular, maybe not everybody will like it. In fact, I read some negative comments about this, but I think this art style is in perfect sync with the atmosphere of the story. So, even if some may think the art is bad, I think it's still worth giving it a try. Maybe not everybody will understand it (maybe they will not even try to), but it's a meaningful story that, in its own twisted way, it's unique. ➤ I'm quite curious about the sequels, I'd like to read them, but for now they're not available...

Yandere Vampire x Cheating Seme Messed-up story by Yuki Kaori - [SPOILER] The seme is being unfaithful on purpose to push the uke to his limits just to make him confess his true feelings... I don't know why this is underrated, but I liked it and I think it's pretty good!

═══ Miwa confesses his feelings to his friend Katou, but in response, Katou introduces Miwa to his gay friend Hashina. Miwa is shocked, and rejects Hashina, but that just makes Hashina fall in love creating an unrequited love triangle. Miwa finds comfort in Hashina, but will he ever be able to let go of his feelings for Katou? ═══ ➸ Messed up story - [Containing spoilers] I can't understand Katou...he's the one that started everything by allowing Hoshina to get close to Miwa and in the end the most hurt one is Hoshina! It's ok when he says he was scared when Miwa confessed to him and he couldn't accept his own feelings, but even so, he could have asked for time to think about it and sort his feelings out. He created all this mess and he ended up taking Miwa by force anyway! Everyone was so egoistic (not only Katou. Miwa took advantage of Hoshina, who took advantage of the situation as well). In the end Miwa loves Katou so much, he's blinded by love, so I can understand when he returns to him, but I can't say that I liked this story! The only one I kinda appreciated is Hoshina, so I hope to read his story!! ➤ Side note: the chapter "We are beneath the same window" is missing, but I think it's an independent oneshot...
