VermilionSage's manga / #TraumaBonding(5)

4 stars cause ending felt rushed like I feel more could’ve come out of the story of the black room and what type of entity was possessing them or if they were just evil and blaming it on an entity to deal. Also think it would’ve been better ending if he actually betrayed him and turned around and put them both in jail or killed each other. And the ending speech about being weak if you think about it they’re actually the weak ones because they aren’t strong enough to face emotions and reality for what it is. Honestly the strong only survive in this world because of trial and error and being able to stand back up again in the face of their own shitty lives that’s what makes us strong.

So boring, the plot was random so I wouldn’t really say it has one tbh. The couple is gross especially age gap and how they started sex straight away, they think they’re in love but it’s just codependency because of being lonely and having shitty pasts which is never a good way to start a relationship and the adult should’ve stood his ground saying no instead of half assing it just cause he wanted to hold someone like wtf go get another adult for that plus don’t even start me on the blackmail like ew anyway yeah it wasn’t for me

This story had so much potential and easily could’ve ended sooner on a happier note but the author pushed forward with their sick torture porn agenda and ruined what could’ve been a dark mafia plot that ended with the main couple defeating the bad guy and ending up happy and in therapy together but noooo so it’s getting no rating but I will say the art is beautiful in other seasons not the first one tho lol but yeah that about it
