Bike's manga / #tragedy(1)

Holy shit, this was a trip. I don't think I have seen a series that has tackled sexual assault to this extent, in addition to juggling other similarly dark topics. Like the tags suggest, it is tragic, but there is a sort of 'light at the end of the tunnel', as well as vindication. The ending wasn’t for me, but it could have been much worse. Reading this felt like walking into a marsh. When you step in, you don’t know what you’re getting into until you fall down into the mud. Then, you kind of trudge through it, feeling awful, until you finally leave, disgusted but having the experience be a blur. Many of the characters were emotionally fleshed out, even the main antagonist (although still awful). If anything else, I don't think this manga will leave my head anytime soon. The series is quite vivid, which I usually don't see in the manhwas I read. It's clear that the author put work into the piece, and despite some grievances I have with it, this was certainly an experience. 8.4/10, Points docked for some questionable stuff, but I would still recommend a read. — Holy shit, this was a trip. Well, I can say it’s not for everyone. Explicit sexual assault, as well as an unsatisfying conclusion, etc… There is a 'light at the end of the tunnel', at least, up to you if your cup of tea. Recommend: psychological story that makes you want to tear your hair out — Its strength lies on how it explores topics of sexual assault. It serves to address the question: why do mothers not report their husbands who have relationships with their children? Relationships within the family are complex. It is tagged ‘Psychological’ for a reason. I personally found the “shounen-ai” aspect to be a weakness of the series, but it certainly has its strengths as well. 29 05,2021
