otakulys's manga / #gore(16)

I'd have to read it again, but I remember it being okay. Gory and weird, but okay. I'm not grossed out by that sort of thing, but it probably would disturb most people.

Whoever is making changes on the site right now needs to stop. It's getting worse and worse. It's like all bad stuff for no reason and zero improvements. Anyway, that's beside the point. This manga was weird as hell, but it was entertaining, so hey. Definitely some bizarro stuff going on here.

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.

Yeah, you can tell this was her/his first story. I like this mangaka's typical approach to dark humor and the sinister feeling underlying the other stories. This one was just clumsy and obvious. It was kind of funny, just the way that the characters start off, but nothing was ever explained, and there was nothing original here. Bummer. I wouldn't start with this one if you want to enjoy this author, though I have to say that most of the work is for those who appreciate the morose beneath the seemingly cheerful and innocent.

I dunno. Those were pretty rude customers.

I hate the animal death. So gross. But it was there for a reason, at least. Unsurprisingly miserable story, but it's an interesting little back story for Itou-san, which was a fantastic manga. For that reason, I'm giving this a four star rating. Definitely upsetting, though, for many reasons. Also, watch out for pedophiles galore.

Holy crap, I started reading it because I thought it was funny that the art was all cutesy but it was listed as horror. I absolutely did not expect to be ugly-crying by the end. So sad! And touching. Twisted, for sure, but heart-wrenching. I'm glad I read it. Not what I thought it would be at all.

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.

The thing that always fails for me with these stories is how the people react. That guy laughing at them for their suggestion that they're being hunted, while they all just watched their friend explode? I mean, I feel like at this point, you're kidding yourself with the whole skepticism thing. The concepts are always interesting, but there are little things like the above that stop them from being as good as they could be. The song story is similar to a short horror story I wrote ages ago, which was kind of funny.
