bias points x100 for having a zombie mc. The ending made me cry it ends up pretty sad.
one of the character’s sexual trauma is honored by the author; he develops to be a bit more comfortable, but is never shown going all the way, and it’s not treated like a loss. They’re still able to express their love for each other while still respecting his sexual boundaries. It means a lot to me
The way this artist illustrates intimacy between the characters is so special. You can really feel how much they love each other it’s crazy you just had to be there…
Proper 3-dimensional characters that I have such a hard time finding in yaoi manhwa, I ended up just as invested in the familial relationships as the romantic ones because their writing wasn’t neglected
Reallyyy good like one of the best yuris out there. I don’t read it on this site though go read it on viz!!!
This story emphasizes the passage of time and growing and maturing your worldview with different people. You’ll rarely get it right the first time with love. Regardless of who ends up with who, I really appreciate seeing them grow separately and as friends.

Really well done analogy of consuming desire for s/m play. I appreciate that the mc’s trauma didn’t seem to have an explicit undertone and shows that a lot of the times for fetishes born out of traumatic experiences the original experience is not inherently sexual. I also like that when they try to jump into the extreme (full on eating/killing) it’s kind of a failure and they agree on “roleplaying” it more than being fully serious
The first story has a lot of its own merits to appreciate, but what really sets this one apart from the rest is when the second story comes into play with the trio. It’s extremely heartbreaking and the three characters chemistry with each other is evenly balanced. You can really deeply feel how important they are to each other
Underrated worldbuilding. I haven’t read this in years now but it’s left a lasting impression on me for showing both the good and ugly sides of BDSM and developing a healthy relationship in the end. It has its problems and isn’t always tasteful as expected for the genre, but I’ll always have a soft spot for what it does well

Its a masterpiece. Rest in peace this wonderful author
I’m old enough to remember when this first came out lol. I appreciate how open this comic is about the world of kink. There’s parts of this that remind me it was written by a man, but it’s not really in a disrespectful way it just kind of makes me roll my eyes sometimes. I still greatly appreciate the passion behind this work and how honest and seriously insightful it is. The mcs are very sweet of course
Sooo cute.
A man whose body physically manifests the wounds of murder victims and can feel the “lingering feelings” of the deceased. Really worth going into it blind. A beautifully story, the emotion in the art serves the story especially well.
