Comments of Subarashii Shitsuren

I liked last story the most

Holy shit what the fuck all I can say is that this is a combination of one shots and I don’t know how many stories but I think there’s at least five and three out of five have raping in them. Black and white. This shit is crazy, although the first story was pretty good other than the fact That he literally had a conversation with his rapist the next morning which was wild wild

the first story was so absurd LMFAOO "im not a rapist" then proceeds to say "i only rape men" like HELLO????

Collection of stories I loved them all even if they had open ending---(here summary of each stories)--→
•1-(marvelous heartbreak)- a guy loves his boss but he still fools around with women i guess he was not sure if he is gay or not one day got raped by a man who was brother of one women he slept with he told his boss reason why he come late to job cuz "he was raped by a man" his boss told him to take break and he won't tell anyone at the end rapist dude come to apologise cuz his sis told him wrong that he guy raped her, boss come to rescue he thought again this man raping him but that's not the case at the end his boss rejcted him in indirect way that I love my child or wife that's when he got his heart break.

•2-(my boss, my secretary)- secretary tak care of his new president who is kinda cute and unknown to this type of business turns out its quite comedy type one shot cuz president loves secretary and he is seme too they saved their company from being bankrupt.

•3 -**(Land of pleasure)-[this one is actually my frvt it gives vibes same as division by same mangaka]-- a japanese guy come to new country he met his guide who will guid him a guy who is charming and attractive but he is quite gullible type , japanese guy was here only for business he knew charming guy is attractive one day it was raining so much so he took him japanese guy to club he told him to be careful but still some guy took him and raped him when charming guy come to save him they also bind him and he watched Japanese guy getting raped after that he felt sorry that he couldn't save him next day everything went Normally but still he couldn't forget what happened at the end they had sex may be he japanes guy come to forget about those horrifying memory of sex to convert into pleasure with charming guy they had sex he asked charming guy to come to Japan but he denied at the end he told japanese guy to forget about this place those horrifying memory also about him but he still couldn't forget him but one day a mail dilevery guy come and he to know that charming guy is in Japan he wrote something on letter to let know that charming guy that he still misses him but still open ending since not that they reunite at the end.

•4-(the supplicant)- a guy's sister dead in accident he loves his brother in law more like he thought at beginning that running away is good option but may be one rainy night when she dead she come home and she caught them having sex it's filled with guilt , sins and sadness that he thought he might be making his brother in law sad and more inti guilt but it ended in all communication and guy accepted that it's my sin and i my fault that she dead.

•5-(the greatest love)- secretary is like a wife to president who is over 50 year old secretary goes to group sex to pleasure himself president wife was in hospital eventually all the tension creates when president caught him having group sex turns out president had affair with a man before his wife knew that now she is dead he told all this to his secretary even the night president wife died he come to him and have sex now he regrets and tells that she was love of mine and secretary says i also love u u r greatest love of mine. Another open ending.

•Extra- from another manga koi ni kataichi.

Really thought-provoking.

So basically it's a bunch of, I would say, traumatic love stories.

Some happy some sad

Can we like talk about the last story though and the extra xd

Not all love comes with a happy ending...

Oneshots ; fast paced - I can't continue -.-'

Too raw and realistic takes on life, lust and love. Can get pretty depressing. So don't read it unless you want a dose of bitter truth, stuff like there isn't one true love and people don't usually live happily ever after.

fucking awful.

Ch. 57-90
Bankrupt - Secretary × Salaryman

the art style constricts the storytelling. It's not "bad" or ugly, it's just too simple and clean with boring panel design so the drama ends up lacking emotion. They're all great stories but none of them benefit from the medium. Manga with dialogue consisting of 100% exposition is too hard to pull off. The plot goes from point A to B to C relying on huge speech bubbles and the visuals are neglected.
I really like this author, maybe she could be a brilliant short film director if she got a decent screenplay writer.

There are so many short stories in this volume that I am not going to rate them individually (it is over 200 pages long). While the stories are all about salarymen and a few of them do have similar-ish plot points (two stories have characters raped by strangers, two feature men cheating on their wives, there are a couple that feature secretaries falling in love with company presidents) each was sufficiently unique and none overstayed their welcome. Some are comic, some are dramatic - it is a pretty mixed bag. But they all have great development and complete arcs. Of course, not every one is a gem, but some of them definitely are. If you like this mangaka's mix of interesting characters and morally and psychologically complex situations, you'll definitely enjoy this. I recommend it, although if this is your first time reading their stuff, I would check out some of the mangaka's other works first. It can take some getting used to (particularly the art, which tends to be crude and samey - although it has come to make me think of gekiga in its style - but the writing more than makes up for it). At least for me, once you get a taste for their work you can't get enough of it.

CW: There is rape and it is handled... somewhat poorly, but not poorly in the way that BL manga often handle rape poorly. It happens to characters and it isn't shown as a good thing (there isn't really a rapey dynamic in any of the couples), but it is something characters are told to "get over" and the rape victims are really oddly sanguine about it. But all things considered, by comparison, rape is handled well. Just be forewarned.
