ReviewRaptor's manga / #AMAZING WRITING(3)

This is my review for all current chapters (vol 3 ch 3). Impressive is the best fitting word here. The author did an incredibly and nearly perfect job portraying the aftermath of such abuse and worldshattering events that turn you into a true mess; it's impressive to say the least. The topic itself is heavy and I do not think people who cannot sympathize/empathize with others or understand heavy psychological damage will not be able to appreciate this story for what it is. It's certainly a mature comic for adult audiences. And that is not because of the yaoi elements to it, mind you. I have hardly noticed anything I would say is a fault in this story. Some moments could have been more detailed but it worked well the way it is. The only thing I simply did not like at all, althought realistic, is that the cult in question didn't get what they deserve (yet, I'm still hopeful). All of them, maybe even Dr Dai deserve punishment or more likely getting off'd for what they did, do and will do. But reality is also not punishing those people, so I understand the choice for making their part of the story what it is. It's an impressive piece of writing so far, for sure. And a must read for those who can handle and understand heavy topics and appreciate them. I doubt this'll change after more chapters are released. Tho I will write another review then I think. :) I really hope the story goes on for quite a while still. I want to see them both slowly settle in normality and have a good life. That would really be great, especially since Kei has so much to adapt to still.

This might be one of my new top 3 of all time. A real gem hidden behind a stylized, cartoon-like front. Which is likely why some people wouldn't give it the time of day. This story is just impressive. A lovely mixture of wholesomeness, sad relatable things introverts can relate to or those with depression, innocent romance, friendhsip, but also realism and idealized fantasy. It does such an amazing job at portraying emotional issues and how they feel, how they impact a person at times, big or small. It's a story of changing for the better and finding love after being the best version of yourself. Realizing feelings and working them out in a realistic manner, rather than the fantastical quick solutions we always see in comics nowadays. It just feels relatable, realistic but still strangely idealized in the way characters behave, reason, react, etc.. And this goes for everybody in the story. All characters feel detailed and great, nobody is needlessly portrayed as bad, because it just doesn't have to be like that in real life all the time. And that was a really lovely aspect of it tbh. Everybody was lovable and endearing. No drama, just a sweet path to healing and happiness, friendships and romance. I love that. The art is definitely something people might have issues with, but I guarantee the story is worth reading. Not everything needs incredible art. Going for a stylized cartoon style like this has it's own charm and works well with the soft and sweet story this comic portrays. All in all I think this is a must read. If you are looking for a good story rather than just mindless smut bonking, this is definitely going to be a good read for those that appreciate a realistic story about the characters and their way to betterment and romance. And I would honestly say: THIS is something that they should turn into an anime. It would be so nice to see this in animated form. <3
