This was like a horror story or nightmare. I'd like to imagine the author made this for a purpose, like maybe showing the cruelty of extreme bullying that takes place?
I hope so, hate this tho
Oh no! It seems like Maa-kun is reverting back to the twisted creep we saw in the beginning. I guess Glasses got to him. & Just when he was caring for Hiroshi in what was starting to seem like a sincere way.
I don't know what direction this is heading??!
I'm dreading them remaking this into an anime. I hope they don't fuck it up like they did Noblesse. My heart can't take it.
Main 5 chapters were written & take place in New York in 1977 so it's gritty. It's also Katsuhiro Otomo so there's drug use, & the men are horny, vulgar, goofballs. Some minor details which are dated are the couple of gay jokes the characters make. Women are usually treated grossly by the male characters, but the women themselves are depicted fine. As minor as it is, stuff like that leaves a bad taste in my mouth, so it's not my favorite, but still an interesting work which reflects the social condition of NY, 1970s America.
I dropped off this for a little while. Came back to see in the comments nothing has changed! Nakyum is still sad & Seungho is still a hot jerk.
Im honestly surprised by how much I love this. I'm having a great time reading. It's badly executed & sometimes dumb but it also has ideas I love as well!
*Spoilers*
I love how Jimmy's first relationship wasn't successful but his second was. That often happens in real life & is not usually seen in comics. Usually the love interest shown in the beginning is end game but this time it's second lead!
Love how Henry & Jimmy are friends then lovers. While the transition from Henry hating Jimmy to liking him as a friend felt sudden & out of nowhere, for the rest of the story we see lots of their cute interactions as friends & it establishes a great chemistry.
Love that Henry is small & cute, but tough & assertive.
Love that their roles in bed are determined by their personalities rather than stereotypically their size / appearance. I really thought it would have Henry be the bottom just cause he's smaller, but nope. Also love that the story is open to them alternating.
Also love we get a chance to see each of them in both submissive & dominant roles when it comes to love.
Love that Jimmy openly enjoys it.
I appreciate that once Taylor's role as the love interest is over, the story didn't get rid of him like I thought it would, but still keeps him around & adds interesting layers to his character. I feel he gets a chance to become more of a gray character compared to other black & white antagonists in the story, since we know his love for Jimmy is sincere but is also responsible for horrible things.
Sometimes the story is nonsensical & characters don't operate on the same logic real people do, but it's campy & fun. I'm enjoying the tone shift & the expansion of the werewolf idea which is much sinister than readers could have imagined in the beginning. Author is really trying & taking their ideas places. I love & enjoy this so much!
Also Henry reminds me of Killua
So uhh i think this is shota? Is it?
It is. I looked up the series this is supposed to be from.
Boy is in middle school.....
Could someone tell me what happens in this story? With spoilers?
I'm curious since I've read this author's other works, but I wondering if this might be too much for me.
Basically Andy liked to torture animals when he was a kid, and one of Bran's friend tied him up on tracks in front of a train after Andy tortured and killed his dog. But Bran saved him anyway, and got epilepsia as well as serious injuries. His family took all the compensation money and Andy took care of a very much alcoholic Bran for 10 years, helping him out and sleeping with him.
But Andy is still a psycho, kills people, tortures them and eats them. It gets extremely graphic. He ends up keeping Bran in his basement. It's yuck. I have no idea why I read this.
Yup, definitely too much for me. Thank you so much for the summary! I don't think I'll be missing much.
