Sorry but no. It wanted to be tragic/emotional/dark or whatever but fell flat on its face. I had no emotional connection or sympathy for any of the characters. Not one bit. The story had no depth in it. Poor story. Horrible characters. Somewhat decent art. That's it.
I liked this story.... Wait don't hate me!! I can explain!!
I feel like(or more like hope so) the author didn't intend for the story to feel like it ended in happiness and rainbows. Since the story so far was laced in a dark blue feel.(the dark being for the sins happening though out. And the blue for the more sad undertones)
In the beginning we were all ready told that he, Shuu can from a rich family and that he had done something horrible to someone. Given the stereotypes of rich familys in manga and real life the audience can conclude that he may have been pressured, abused, or neglected.(or totally fine that had a happy life for all you pure peepz)Giving it that blue tone. And the horrible thing already laced it with a dark tone.
Introduced to the see Kazu, the love interest(you can tell by the cover), we soon found out he is the brother from a other mother. Then giving it more darkness(the sin of insest and obsession to the point of hurting others). We also find out he is not the brother, I think the author did this in order to lighten the load like, "Hey he's a dick but a lest he's not related!"
Never in this story, I feel like, you were supposed to feel a lovey-dovey feel. It is love in a since though it's an obsessive-controlling-manipulative love. I once read somewhere that most love starts from a bond of sweetness one minutes and a dash of jerk.(maybe that's why shoujo manga have to many cold and distant love interest) Shuu just likes sweetness and a carten of jerk.
Also I feel like it could be playing rollercoaster idea. One minute the relationship is a the worst and then next a honeymoon phase, then repeat. I felt it ended in a honeymoon phase were the abusie will feel like the relationship is fine. I feel lkie Shuu is only excepting Kuze only because of 2 reasons. 1. He feels bad for pushing him 2. He said he is like his dad. Shuu dad always seemed distant to Shuu and his sister growing up which could leave them with daddy issues.
So to me, this is way I like it. I will not go back to this thinking "oh, that was a cute story" but "man, that was simi-dark".
Or I could be over thinking, but to me it's what I got out of this. Don't agree or agree up to you just putting my ideas out there. This has been Evilcookie over and out.
