sleepy_cutie's manga / #TRIGGER WARNING(3)

Overview *SPOILERS*: The art is beautiful, the environment is developed, and there is potential. Be aware, however, that there are disturbing, potentially triggering scenes as the plot centers around the fetishization of r*pe and sl*very of women. Besides the obvious disturbing components of the story, the panels clearly portray the disgusting nature of this developing nation which drives the mc’s need to escape and get revenge. The story did, however, began to lose me at ch3 when the said mc is somehow unaware or ignorant to the fact of how she managed to escape. This then follows with ch4 and us being introduced with a new mc(?), who is as trashy as all the other men we meet. Honestly, I don’t believe I have enough patience or willingness to wait for the conclusion of whether or not the original mc prevails. The set up seems as if the creator is going to drag out this story before ending it with a mediocre or depressing conclusion. In addition, I fear that the original mc will lose the wrath and confidence she briefly had and meekly die like she did in ch3, and I just don’t want to infuriate myself or have potential hope.

Overview: If you read this story based on its face value, be aware that there is a reason as to why there are 73 chapters as each chapter builds a heart wrenching story. It goes without saying, there is plenty of smut that displays the passion and love between our two main characters. At the same time, however, outside of the bedroom they continue to display their passion by supporting and protecting each other. They actively communicate with each other through each turmoil, trusting the other will be by their side. The side characters, the friends and family of the couple, are each three dimensional with their own past, personalities, and reasonings. As you will read, the father is the main antagonist of the manga with twisted reasonings behind his overbearing nature. Personally, I believe there is no right answer to how you feel towards him. There are intense moments with smut scenes to provide a brief breather before dragging you back to the main story. So, in other words, make sure to take advantage of those breaks because you WILL emotionally exhaust yourself. I 100% recommend this manga for not only the story but solely for the characters and how they endear through their personal struggles. With that being said, generational trauma is a serious issue that can severely damage the development of a person. Surround yourself with loving and supportive people. It is, HOWEVER, your responsibility to take care of your mental health and no one else’s. The state of your mental health does not excuse your actions. It may give the people an explanation but the damage will be lasting.
