otakulys's manga / #serial killer(7)

It's hard to talk about this without spoiling it, though the tags will do that, too. It's great if you go in not knowing what to expect. It's very deceptive, haha.

Lol, guess there's a fine line between butterflies from a crush and adrenaline from being assaulted and facing your death. She should write a book about relationships. So romantic.

ANIMAL TORTURE WARNING! Not as graphic as the human stuff, but graphic enough. That being said: SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER messed up. I don't believe another yaoi title can top this one. I've read some messed up crap--horse rape, cannibalism, a guy getting cut in half while another dude fucks his loose intestines--but this really takes the cake. It's sad and disturbing, definitely a miserable story. It's fucked up from beginning to end, with no relief, and it's hardcore to boot. I was disappointed in a few elements, mostly along the lines of nothing truly coming to a head with the case, and the ending felt too much like a final jump scare for me, especially when it's just a flash of him still as miserable as ever. Definitely not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach. No happy endings here.

Very short, but a creepy little tale about love and obsession, and the unhealthy, disturbing behaviors that might lie beneath the surface of people we love. I liked it.

Very, very odd and quite gross manga. It was interesting, and I liked some of the exploration behind the psychology. I do feel like something fell flat near the end, though. I kept waiting for him to kill one of his boys. He kills things that he loves, doesn't he? The whole thing was bizarre, as it should have been, but it never quite reached the point I was looking for. Also, there was no real punishment here, nor is his fate satisfying, because his children are monsters who may continue this stuff, so... But yeah, I would have liked it more if it had expanded beyond that little group of creeps. Also, despite all the murder, it's always animal death that gets to me, so I had to mark it down a bit for that, too.

I'm very intrigued so far, but it's only five chapters, so it's hard to make a solid judgment. I'm curious about the brother and the way he acted. If the MC brushes that off and doesn't try to see the notebook now, I'm gonna have to go in there and slap him. That reaction almost guarantees that your brother is also a serial killer, is a budding serial killer, is a serial killer fetishest, or is involved with the murder romantically, etc. Maybe you were bait from the start, like he's totally giving you up to this murderer in exchange for... who knows. Anyway, I hope it updates quickly. And that they get someone to proofread, because it's really throwing off the flow. I appreciate them doing this regardless. I dunno, maybe I ought to offer help instead of just complain. CHAP 6: Show us what's in the notebook, you asshole! Also, I love the friends moment. I want to see way more stories with important friends. Yaoi likes to center on the couple and the friends often kind of drift away into the background. Hopefully won't be the case here. Chapter 7: I mean, this has to be a red herring, right? But give me an explanation at this point that isn't pushing the boundaries of belief. Maybe he finds the crime scenes first, because he's tracking the real killer? I don't know, but it sounds pretty ridiculous. Either way, your brother is breaking laws here.
