I wonder if the author will ever continue this. The manhua hasn’t even covered half the story, yet this is supposedly complete. Makes me sad （/TДT)/
I disagree with the people saying this isn’t worth the read or was disappointing. Demian Syndrome is easily one of the better BL works out there, even with its age. You can’t appreciate it for what it is by comparing it to more recent BL stories (most of which are pretty bland, imo). The story focus was purely on the relationship and psychology of the main characters, which is why you don’t get the modern tropes of “meet the family” or chapters dedicated to flashbacks. The necessary elements are there. And yes, there was rape but it was handled seriously and impacted the characters’ development. It wasn’t glorified or downplayed. There’s a lot of dialogue because, again, this is a story centred on the characters and relationship, not simple plots (and it’s the authors style). Lastly, if you’re familiar with Hesse’s Demian, it lends even more interpretive value to the characters and story.
In short, I would recommend this work, especially to those looking for something different, a classic, or to people who like to psychoanalyse/interpret characters.
But... the relationship and psychology of the main characters is influenced by the psychology and relationship they have with their family and friends. T.
Yes, but I feel we’re given enough to understand them. It isn’t necessary to spend more time on or show their families. I don’t think that would have added much to the story.
Why did so many people think this was shounen-ai? It’s always been shoujo (albeit with a bunch of fan service and sexual humour). Don’t get mad at the author because you misunderstood what kind of story this is.
Probably to warn homophobes that there are some interactions between males.
(≧∀≦)
It was previously tagged at shounen-ai because of the fans-service. It would be easy to tell it was just bait/tease if you looked at the author's other works tbh. For future reference for anybody~ ^^
Seriously? Go troll somewhere else. I’m sure your time would be better spent on underage waifus and one of your hands.
That still does not make queer baiting right. The author queer baited, you need to stop telling people, especially queer people what's queer baiting or not.
I’m queer, so quit with the special club mentality please. Where did I say anything about queer baiting? Please reread my comment.
Am I the only one who thinks Vanitas isn’t telling the truth about being human? He has cute little fangs, his eyes changed colour, his brother doesn’t seem human, and he was an expirement, and he has the weird touch power. I’ll be surprised if he turns out to really be human.
From what your comments about, I'd say this could turn into another owari no seraph manga (if you haven't read it, i recommend it)
lol Vanitas in that last pannel. Also, thank you to the uploader. I buy the English volumes when they’re relased, but we only get like one a year T-T I’m glad I can read the chapters in the meantime.
I learned Japanese in the time since I read the first chapters years ago. Unfortunately, I can’t find the raw volumes anywhere online. So I’m really grateful for an update. Thank you, scanlattor-san.
it's a book you have to pay for i am surprise they updated
Um....yes, I’m aware it’s a book you pay for? I meant I couldn’t find anywhere to by the raw volumes. It was never localized in my country and certainly not over a decade ago, when I read this.
i saw a dilivery Website for it years ago i don't think they work tho
Am I the only one always wondering why in Asian comic, people always leave their feet bare and/or uncovered when sleeping but layer their torsos? My feet always get cold first, so I find this weird (￣∇￣")
bro I be thinkin that too
They don’t fear the monsters under the bed, the monsters fear
them
...i sleep like that and I'm Asian...i don't think it's an Asian thing though..coincidence? Lol
I sleep like that because I don't have air conditioning
Yeahh, me too. My feet tends to get warm easily when you're only using a fan and I also tends to cover my stomach so that it didn't get upset when I wake up
Why would u cover your feet when sleeping tho? Isnt it uncomfortable? SO PEOPLE REALLY WEAR SOCKS TO SLEEP? (⊙…⊙ )
Anyone bold enough to wear socks when sleeping just doesn’t care about the natural order of things.
I wear socks to sleep often, especially in winter. I can’t fall asleep if my feet are ice cubes and an extra blanket doesn’t help.
But if it’s hot, why cover your body? In the summer my body sweats, not my feet, so I always cover my feet. lol
I sometimes do, but I was thinking more about why they only cover their body with a blanket and not their feet when hands and feet are the first things to get cold due to less blood flow. It confuses me.
Let me give the answer as I have lived both in Asia and now in Australia
Leg outside blanket: yes its cold but at the same time its too hot so leave the leg outside = perfect warmth
Leg inside blanket: its winter and really cold i even need a thick socks (im not really scared of monster XD)
Thanks for the answer. I still don’t do get why your body would stay cool if you cover it and keep your feet bare, but I’ll have to take your word for it
I just can't handle my feet being hot, but I still need a blanket white sleeping, idk. feels too vulnerable without it
I just can’t get behind Gabby’s character. I still hate her. Falco and his bro should like, Gabby should die.
Whoa, the plot just went turbo in this chapter.
