The first four chapters were duds. CH5 was actually alright. Ch6 was creepy. Chapter 7 was unexpected. And ch8 was lamer than it had the potential to be. In all.... a waste of time. They were all fairly thoughtlessly made one-shots.
First story: High school kids. The black haired guy was just hella creepy. I didn't see much in that relationship at all, but what can we see with only one chapter anyways. One thing I will note -- this artist's art style really adds to the creepiness. It's not a typical manga art style with lots of extra visual effects including sparkles and big eyes and perfect proportions in every character. No, the lines were rougher, it was more pure black and white w/o much middle gray shading. The black haired guy's face was too big and his face was just creepy dude! Second story: That ghost was seriously so fucking crazy and scary. BUT I enjoyed learning about why he was so hellbent on killing the family, I thought that backstory was pretty twisted and tragic, but also 1% cool/beautiful. Still hella weird how they can just be so happy go lucky as a couple on the last page. Third story: TOO short!!! I needed more! Although the uke (I'm assuming he's the uke) was psycho at first he became hella cute hella fast! I need to see how their relationship develops! Fourth story: Meh. Uke was annoyingly clingy. Seme wasn't hot. Too short to say much else. Fifth story: Jesus Fucking Christ. What a way to promote an unhealthy relationship. The seme's been manipulated into thinking that being hit means you're loved. Sixth story: Jesus Fucking Christ x2. Example of unhealthy relationships no. 432809. When his eyes turned black that creeped me the fuck out. Seventh story: What the fuck. Kind of weird and too short. Eighth story: Ok, from what was there so far, it was okay, actually. But of course, with only one chapter the story could definitely have gone on longer. Lack of resolution.
This was compelling yet struggling to read at a same time. Twisted, frightening, and an interesting look into the more messed up yaoi stories that are out there.
Every stories were unique, contained different elements, the sometimes enough being told in one chapter, the other times they seemed to need be developed a lot more. Overall, a great reading.
8 chapters. I liked the first couple stories. They were a little twisted but ok. Then it went downhill from there. Chapter 5 horribly abusive. and the ones after that didn't get any better.
all the stories were interesting but my fav was the 1st, it was the only story that didn't make me think "what the hell is wrong with these character?"
