otakulys's manga / #guilt(5)

Harada is the master of subtly manipulative and evil characters. The ending was a bit more spelled out than most of her stuff, though. I feel like readers knew what the real situation was before the reveal, so it didn't need to be so overt. Still, creepy-crazy face is always off-putting in a fun way, haha.

Whaaaaaaa, I love this so far!!! I hope it updates soon. Amazing art, great storytelling. I already like the characters. And I have a thing for characters witnessing something bad happening to someone they care about. I can't wait to see how this unfolds.

Read this in the full collection. It's kind of confusing, trying to follow the time line with all of these oneshots. I didn't know where to start.

A little rushed at times, but ultimately sweet. I feel like the second story would have benefited by being a full novel, where the friendship is explored and deepened. As is, it's like a snapshot of something he saw happen, the end. He hints at wanting change, but nothing changes. At any rate, not a bad read. I feel like I've read it before, but it must have been a while ago, since it was just vague recollections.

I have mixed feelings about this story, but there's still another chapter to go, so I guess we'll see by then. It has a lot of potential, and part of me likes it, but I feel like it's also sort of executed in an odd, rushed, or maybe clumsy way. I wish we could have seen more of the bullying in high school. All of the emotional stuff was just glossed over, and now the story is focusing primarily on misunderstandings, which I hate. But I am hoping the conclusion really pulls it all together.
