Trigger Warning: Rape
This wasn’t the easiest story to read with multiple rapings over time of the MC along with a concerted effort to humiliate him and break his spirit. On the positive side, Masamune Tatsumi was beautifully protective and gentle with Matsunaga Kai, who was the proprietor of a little flower shop. Tatsumi and Kai got off on the wrong foot but soon Kai yearned to be able to lean on the older actor. The only mention I will make of Yagami Shirou is that I am not interested in a re

Two wonderfully original stories. The priest and the cult member followed by the plant guy. They are both a little dark, especially the priest’s tale and even the art style has a suitable grittiness that I really liked. It has a bit of an old style noir effect that suits this mangaka’s offbeat stories.
Beautiful art, beautiful story. Tattoo artist Yuji falls instantly for the beautiful Michiru. But Michiru belongs to another, an artist who has kept the ethereal man his whole life as his muse and creative inspiration. It’s going to take something powerful to bring these two together.
I loved this story. There is a psychological element that comes forth that was so essential for Michiru’s character development. Nobody who was raised as he was could be expected to be ‘normal’. But he is preciou
Trigger Warning: Rape
A rather confusing horror story that comes together to make sense only in the final chapter. Teacher Hizuki Reiji is thrust into the middle of a mystery when he moves to another town for a substitute teaching position. There is the missing teacher, cold presences, possessed trees and wrapped body parts. And then there is problem child Magaki Kyoichi, a sleepy troublemaker with a temper and a penchant for raping Reiji. The ending made sense of the warped reality that Reiji
Incredible story. So dark and unpredictable, but sad and twisted too. Beautiful art, disturbing storytelling, this is one psychological delve into a character who may be pure at heart or something darker and more unpredictable. Best you read and find out for yourself.
