otakulys's manga / #horror(65)

Ugh, the art is beautiful. I wish it weren't het. Also, it says TBC, but then it also says it's a oneshot, so I don't know what to believe here. If that's an entire story, it was... odd and pointless. It's a crime that this author doesn't draw m/m, though. Her characters are gorgeous.

The bad guy is hot. I'm automatically rooting for him. Interesting so far, but I'm not sure what to think. There's not enough here. I guess we'll see! Also, I highly doubt this is BL, but I find the tag usage amusing. Talk about sexual tension!

Lol, what? I feel like this was trying too hard to be edgy. I don't hate it, but... I don't know, it just seemed rather heavy handed. Someone in the comments said "Why didn't he just start with himself," which made me laugh, so I'll give it three stars for leading me to that.

Only like six chapters, and it said somewhere that the original may have been discontinued. That would really suck, since this is very different and interesting. We don't get a lot of BL with action. The most recent release was very poorly translated to the point of not even making sense, and I feel bad for being frustrated by that, because I know the ones who did it are doing so for free. I just wish I could enjoy it a little more, given how action-packed it was. I hope it gets updated soon. I would be so bummed if this story were dropped completely.

Is that really the end? Such a sad conclusion! I hope he finds a way to prevent it. That guy is his only friend. Anyway, the first story was very creepy. It actually made me shudder. The second story was really interesting! I would love to see more like it. Sad that it's so short. I really like the concept.

Aww, that's so cute. I wish there were more!

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.

He has good ideas now and then, and sometimes I really wish he'd explore them more. Ultimately, his execution is just too clunky to be satisfying. He often either jumps around too much and too quickly, or he completely draws everything out for far too long. It's a shame, because he could do something really interesting with some of this, but it never really pans out.

This is one of the better Junji Itou stories I've read. It's still fairly clunky, and the final shot was kind of weird, but the idea is indeed disturbing.
