A classic. Don’t think there’s much to say. Kind of basic but definitely recommend giving it a read, especially for beginners. It was my first psychological story, it’s what got me into both psychological manga and yaoi. It’s popular for a reason. Despite all the memes it’s actually an amazing story.

Ah yes, a harada oneshot. No matter how short it is, it definitely leaves quite the memory. However it’s more borderline brutal than deep. I absolutely loved it, revenge rape is one of my favorite tropes anyway, plus the whole thing is very aesthetically pleasing, but it might be a bit plotless for some people.

Secret teacher x student relationship. They do their nasty shit in school. I really liked it, but it’s kinda porny so not everyone will.

My first ever harada manga. Such a vivid memory. One of my favorites by her to this day. Not very creepy or brutal, instead, it’s a very interesting take on beauty and possessiveness. Go read it.

Ah yes, finally I get to rate nishioka kyoudai. When I found out about their work, something clicked in my brain. It pokes my mind in all the right spots, I don’t really understand what I’m reading but it understands me. This is one of the mangakas many oneshot collections. It consists of short, psychological stories that will definitely leave you thinking.

If u want to be disturbed, I recommend this. The story is a deep dive into the mind of a born psychopathic serial killer and cult leader. Almost litchi hikari club-esque but stirs you up even more.

This is arguably haradas most controversial work, which is a big word. It’s the story of a boy willingly returning to his childhood groomer, and it will stir you up to the core. The ending is so boldly unsatisfying it almost makes the situation look romanticized and the author is incredibly brave for that. That’s why I admire harada.

This manga is a trip without drugs. I could write pages about it and oh how I wish I could. You need a special “I don’t need to understand the story, let’s just lay back and enjoy the trip” mindset to enjoy it but it’s a masterpiece so read it. All hail the nishioka siblings!!
