otakulys's manga / #creepy(18)

I liked the one before this better, but this mangaka always makes me happy. Very strange, dark little vignettes. Some of them have legitimately creeped me out, which is hard to do.

I like it. Very creepy and unsettling. I want more creepy yaoi stories where it's obviously meant to be horrific and doesn't end with love magically blossoming.

Rather creepy and pretty interesting, though I could have done without the endless, graphic animal torture.

Interesting so far. Not sure what my rating will be later, but I like the build up at this point. Definitely creepily obsessed with his older brother, but it's sad that his brother changed a few of the things he used to do out of embarrassment. That little moment when he quickly drops his younger brother's hand... I hope it stays interesting.

Haha, I like those weird, dark turns. Definitely a strange oneshot, think it could have benefited from being longer, had some clarity issues here and there, but it wasn't hard to understand. I appreciate that it wasn't a typical story.

Oh, I didn't realize it was finished. Well, I enjoyed it! I used to be jarred by the snapshot nature of a lot of Asian horror anthologies, no plot or anything, just a glimpse of horror. But now I love it. These were pretty fun. Some weren't as great as others, but the few that were particularly creepy definitely got a reaction out of me. Plus, I love fridge horror, the type of story that becomes more horrifying once you look back at it a second time and think about the implications. The "right behind you" story, for example. Anyway, the stories are short and easy to get through, so the worst that can happen is you waste a few minutes of your life. Nothing profound or amazing, just plain, shallow entertainment. Worth a look.

Damn it. I loved the first story, and I ADORE the art, but that second story is just so creepy. And not in the fun way. I just can't stand yaoiland rules where assault isn't assault as long as it turns out the dude had a boner for you all along. Molesting a sleeping person is gross, and it made it really hard for me to keep reading. Had to drop my five star rating down because of it. What's worse is it's the longest story in here. It's a yaoi cliche full of uncomfortable stuff, so I'm pretty disappointed. I'll keep my review for the other story here, though. FIRST STORY: Very cute so far. I was worried something else would happen and misunderstandings would delay them coming together. Glad that wasn't the case! It was actually really cute how he was purposely teasing him and planning to finally reward him. I wish more manga touched on that, because there's something kind of hot about a guy making another guy wait just for fun, even though he knows they're going to have sex in the end.

I like the unsettling feeling throughout, knowing what kind of man this guy is. I wish there'd been more, though. It's just there and gone, though the implication is enough. Still, it felt like it stopped too abruptly. ETA: Oh, I see that it was incorrectly marked as completed. I hope the next chapter is translated soon! EDIT: What the flying fuck? I was excited to see that it was up to chapter three, but this is not at all what I thought was going to happen. That little kid is like a budding serial killer. This is like a really weird, creepy love triangle. Very disturbing and unsettling. I'm trying to figure out what the point is. The story seems all over the place, unlike her other work, and nothing really happens other than creepy interactions. I want him to just run away from that creepy house and live with his classmate. That kid is totally gonna kill that bird, ugh.

Hmm.... Interesting, I suppose. I feel like there's something a bit clunky about each story. The fur one was really gross, but it was supposed to be. I hate animal suffering. I wish it had ended with some people paying for being so cruel. Despite that, the fur one, chapter four, was the only one that was really creepy. The end of the grandpa one was definitely eerie, too. They were clever concepts. The other two were okay, also. Not the worst I've read. I'll keep reading, at least. ETA: Lol, I don't now if the fifth story was supposed to be deep or what, but... It was pretty mean-spirited, but it was an interesting idea, like most of the others. I've thought about that before, the assumption that we're the main characters of our story. Kind of a miserable, nihilistic approach, but hey. At least the bikini ended up making sense.

Strange little slice of horror. Might end up being interesting. Maybe someone else will pick it up eventually.
