Wolfgang's manga / #Gore(3)

Ok this was a great idea for a horror/gore/smut/yaoi but it was horribly executed This wasn't written well at all. The panels were way too close together, too much text with little direction, and it was confusing more than scary imo. There characters weren't even given a set motive or a reason as to why they acted that way which is one of the main selling point of psychological stories. ngl I kinda laughed because there was no way I could take all this angst seriously. It's like the author tried to shove in as much as possible in a one shot which obviously didn't work. The art style was really good though and it fit with the theme. Sorry for getting heated but you had to know.

wooooah I'm always amazed at how good ito junji's art is. He's also able to capture his ideas so well I just stare in awe every time.

things got way more interesting when the familiars were introduced, now it's actually cool action/gore with an eerie aura the whole sexualizing kids things is really gross tho and I have to scroll past that one part of the story around chapter 22 so I can get back to the supernatural...really killed the cool buildup ok so I finished and- Im surprisingly not mad at the ending. I actually felt satisfied and the shitty reason for doing all those shitty things made sense. I'm a little confused on the whole power structure but it didn't matter cuz it's not like you had to really understand the world's rules to enjoy it. This manga would've been 10/10 would recommend to my friends if it wasn't ecchi or had children get involved with adults sexually because the emotions are so raw and powerful, the gory art's insanely cool, and the characters (specifically souichi and osamu) felt really detailed and complex. I'm gonna rate it 4 stars cuz it kinda slacked at the beginning and when we met the other sister (cuz she was too surface level to be interesting) but otherwise I really enjoyed reading it.
