Blue Lust
I haven't been able to really get into a manga for a long time. I loved it. It was so realistic with so much emotion. Towards the end was a little annoying and cliche but the rest of it makes it one of the best ones I've read. I got lost in it a little bit.
Sojou No Koi Wa Nido Haneru
What a fucking roller coaster, so much manipulation, drama, and omg. That was actually a good read wow.
An Uncomfortable Truth
Wow. I don't know entirely what to say. I think this manga perfectly portrays how many sides there are to everyone. It shows how everything can be messed up just because of one mistake, it affects so much more than what you realize. This manga also showed over and over how devastating things can turn out just by not telling people how you feel or explaining things better. It shows how you have to be careful of your actions and exactly what you say. This manga...showed so many sides of each person making you feel differently about them every time you found out something else about them and their life. The ending was so sad I cried. So many emotions were given to me by this manga. There are things in here even I myself still have trouble understanding, the emotions I mean. It shows how hard it is to comprehend your own emotions and it just also happened to include emotions I have felt before and couldn't understand at the time. It also introduced ways of thinking, ways of feeling, and ways of interpreting things differently. This manga was definitely worth a read. It was both refreshing for me personally and downright heartbreaking at the same time. I've always hated how people portray "mental illness" and frankly I hate when I even hear those words. People always blow things off. "well, there were mentally unstable that's why they did it". IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE. IT'S NOT JUST THAT PLAIN AND SIMPLE. I HATE THE LABEL I REALLY DO. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE HURT AND CONFUSED AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACT OR UNDERSTAND. THEIR ACTIONS ARE UNPREDICTABLE BECAUSE OF IT BUT THEY AREN'T CRAZY, THEY ARE THE SAME AS US BUT EVERYTHING INSIDE THEM IS JUMBLED & TANGLED UP. YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW OR WHY THEY THINK AND ACT THE WAY THEY DO. I HATE THE LABEL "CRAZY" "MENTALLY ILL/UNSTABLE" THEY ARE STILL PEOPLE. THEY ARE A MESS AND POSSIBLY UNREPAIRABLE BUT STILL, PEOPLE AND STILL HAVE EMOTIONS. IT IS NOT RIGHT TO DISMISS EVERYTHING THEY FEEL, EVERYTHING THEY'VE GONE THROUGH IN LIFE, AND EVERYTHING THEY MIGHT'VE DONE AS "CRAZY". *sigh* So yeah, this manga made me feel many things and I am very happy I gave it a chance. This mangaka is incredibly amazing. I can't though, the ending hurts I still wanna cry WHYYYYYY *sobs intensify* (I can't believe I basically read like 74 chapters in a day holy sh*t) I need a better life...
Obey Me
This was probably one of the most f*cked up things I've ever read. I wanted to drop it a few times but I couldn't stop reading it. It's so awful seriously why. It's so messed up. It got a little interesting but dude it's just so messed up. I'm not sure if it deserves a 2 star but I can't bring myself to give it a higher rating. This one bothered me a little too much, just ew.
Koko Wa Yasashii Niwa
*Spoilers* Wow. This was really sad. I almost cried at least 6 times. I still feel like crying. It wasn't healthy, using each other to replace another. But in the end, they became what they needed for each other, as themselves. It was sad and beautiful at the same time. I've read several yaoi and shounen ai where they were using someone as a substitute for someone else, but this was different. You truly felt the heartache behind it, for both of them. For once, I feel like this type of plot was done some true justice. It wasn't exactly what I normally think of as "The perfect manga". Even now, I do not consider it to be an all-time favorite or one of the best storylines I've ever read. However, this was so good, so emotional, gathers so much empathy rather than sympathy, and the writing, the writing is so so good. The pace of this manga was perfect, absolutely perfect for what it was trying to accomplish and portray. It deserves 5 stars, even if the story type is not in my ideal image. The writing is, it definitely is. Beautiful work.
