blueberry's manga / #Trauma(258)

It’s pretty good, good spicy bits, though the story as a whole felt...plain? Bland? Maybe I couldn’t relate to the characters enough, I found it difficult to immerse myself into the story and get a sense of the characters. The seme’s personality was a little too abstract for me I think lol

Ahhh it was cute but I think the dead father figure kept me in a low mood throughout the series lol

My fkn god this sht went DEEP ASF WTF This brand of drama was definitely new and I couldn’t entirely understand the characters (in a good way); I couldn’t do a complete psychoanalysis man this story is hella sophisticated lol Pretty hawt smut, tho it could’ve been hotter w/ more drawings of facial expressions :( Author skipped that opportunity feelsbadman Edit: Y’ALL THIS WAS A NOVEL ADAPTION NO WONDER IT WAS SO COMPLEX AND POETIC LMFAO

The characters turn domestic a little too fast and a little too much considering the line of their work and their initial impressions lol, but it’s a nice set of characters and smut :) I liked the angst momentsssss Aight the angst is PERPECT uke’s trauma + sexiness is heurheueheurhh Seme is Le fkd up in Le head kek

Features dissociative identity disorder; fetishizes the disorder a bit and the recovery process is a little too ez and scientifically dubious lol but THE PLOT AND CHARACTERS ARE AMAZINNNNNGGGH Even if it’s inaccurate, I really enjoy the creative liberties the author took :D

More like 4.5 stars; some points of reality seemed nonexistent (didn’t address skipping work as much, no explanation of vampire doc’s now-fugitive lifestyle, etc) and some plot points seemed...unfinished. Nux’s blood’s abilities & effects were constantly added onto but the details were never explained or even reiterated in depth, it was just a magical power that was tactlessly packed with plot armour lmaooooo. Another major issue: the seme is really,,,psychopathic? Like the story romanticizes the weirdest sht lmao, seme goes “amma threaten your job if u don’t date me” & “stay by my side even if u hate me” (?????) & “I fell in love with you cuz I never saw you happy; I only saw your depressed sides” (???????? Like i guess that could be ok? But will u even like them for their happy sides when they start being happy with you?? Yikes maybe?). Anyways the angst with the mc is really prolonged and nice so that’s gucci, without those guilty pleasure elements I think the story’s planning would be ~3 stars. It’s too bad it deviated from the humour from the initial chapters and never came back to it :(

Really good slow development of characters and plot! No weird loopholes, reasonable and realistic dialogue, though some points were a little questionable or inconsistent (the over possessiveness of Gio, the reasons behind Gio pushing away Felix but then sticking to him again for “protection”, etc.). Great conflicts (nothing new and unique, but still nice to read) and reeeeeeally nice trauma-related guilty pleasure reads huheuehuhuehhuheuheh Enjoyable read overall, a pretty agreeable 5 stars Edit: aight I’m here after a second wave of updates for the second season and HYPE HYPE THE SEME IS SO CONSIDERATE AND KIND AND CUTE THIS IS MORE THAN AN AGREEABLE 5 STARS WEEOOOWEEOOO
