otakulys's manga / #dark(196)

Aw, poor baby. :( I like it as of chapter three, but I hope the next chapter comes soon. I hate misunderstandings, but this seems like it could resolve fairly easily. Fingers crossed!

Well that was a bummer. Too short to really suck you in, but the last line was still kind of a gut punch.

Ooh, this looks promising! I know it's just the first chapter, but dark, twisted, and pretty, plus the rapist isn't his love interest? I'm excited to see how it unfolds. I imagine there'll be a lot of emotional suffering, but hopefully there's some satisfying catharsis and a happy ending.

I'm having serious mixed feelings about this one, but that smirk at the end of chapter four told me it isn't a simple rape to love story. I'm both exhilarated and scared. XD Looking forward to more.

I loved this. I'll add more later.

I don't really know what to say. It's not a perfect comic, but I do like stories about writers, and the mystery/supernatural element is great. I appreciate that it actually has a plot and action and such. I'm hoping I can buy an official translation eventually, though, because I feel like we miss out with the poor translations. Up to chapter 51, it seems like we've got someone better than the person who was translating the 20s and 30s. I appreciate that they're doing that, but we're still missing out on the full meaning of the story. Better than nothing, but still. Wolf in sheep's clothing, everyone trying to bang this guy... But I like it so far. I'm looking forward to more chapters.

Pretty sad, fucked up story. Definitely depressing with no real relief. I feel so bad for that high school student, though I'm glad he was given comfort and held and such, allowed to cry. I hope that after this, he and the other guy, the main dude's boyfriend, both have happier lives. Maybe he'll help the high schooler get out of his situation. Maybe when he's older, they'll date, and they can both feel like they accomplished things they thought they wouldn't. Either way, definitely a downer, but most of the characters weren't likable enough for it to really sting. His son, though. Ugh, it was so cruel. Right into the end, just how kind and trusting he was. Not something I'd reread, but not awful. Just a bummer.

What the fuck... That was so freaking weird and random, but mostly it was just too quick and abrupt to leave any impact. All of the characters were evil, stupid, or both. What was with the chick, though? Was she supposed to be mentally challenged? That's the only thing I can assume based on the things she said and choices she made, but I can't tell if it was intentional or not. Anyway, a gross and lame story about megalomania and psychosis. I get what it was going for in a way, but it was just generally so bad and rushed with nothing but misery, and the only one left is a total moron. I'm glad all of the boys died, though, since they were all killers and/or rapists. Touching a passed out girl's boob is apparently all some people need to feel life is fulfilling.

It might be the translation in part, but this manga was just a total mess. It was all over the place and abrupt, full of a toxic relationship that couldn't be fixed by any means, let alone the minor ones the uke puts into play. But whatever. The masochist story was also messy but it was ultimately quite cute. If it hadn't been so all over the place, I think I would have really liked it. The guy being so concerned and loving over his guy while also being a sexual sadist was great. He was so sweet and loving, but totally kinky. It's nice that they work for each other like that. It's clear this mangaka has some pretty overt fetishes, especially with pain during sex. But I just couldn't get past the crazy plot and kind of confusing story. Again, I think that was mostly the translation, but I can tell things wouldn't have changed all that much if it were polished up.

Only one chapter translated, unfortunately. I want to know what the rest says, but it's all so sad anyway. The meta, dark humor of it has me intrigued. I already know how it ends, but I'd like to know more about what's happening in the meantime. That final shot is so damn abrupt though, and... I kind of like that the bully top gets to lose something in such an awful way. Maybe you shouldn't have treated him so badly.
