pluckaduck's manga / #Psychological(145)

first chapter was good, but quality went downhill. it falls short of three important aspects: haruki's character. his character in the first chapter was good and relatable, but then after that he gradually just becomes a victimized tool for the revenge porn. the pacing is awful; the revenge was speedrunned and it wasn't cathartic at all cuz the ml dealt with them very easily. given how horrible they were to their victims like haruki, it would be better to explore in depth their characters and the psychological aspects (such as reona). that last was the shock value. it's simply not gory, or disturbing much. this goes hand in hand with pacing. the individual plot points were good, but i felt the author didn't have enough time to develop them, so we got a shallow piece of work like this.

decent. i felt the author changed the ending to a happier note to appeal to a broader audience. a iffy or bittersweet ending would've been fine. also, i felt like the author made the brother less attractive in the second season cuz he was too appealing. i liked him ngl.

to be frank, i did not like this manga. it was however engaging and the protagonist was realistic in the sense that she is still as weak-minded as the first chapter and had no growth, even after becoming skinny, which is a sad reality for a lot of people. she's kinda unlikable and pathetic, but everyone else was pretty shitty and weird.
