psychological i think

tl;dr heartbreaking story, please read i luv it sm

i think this is a great story on how toxic families can impact the children. it has a good ending as well (at least thats what i think but others might argue differently)
i also appreciate the fact that it shows each kids story and struggles to show why they act the way they do. i find all of their stories to be relatable in some way.
but i will say, if ur not in a good mental state then you're better off reading something more wholesome.

apparently its a MAJOR inspiration for stranger things so if u like that then u definitely need to read/watch this. im not sure how stranger things goes but i think elfen lied might be more difficult to read. its the first manga that made me feel truly uncomfortable while reading. another to avoid if you're not doing well mentally

another one that i will say is popular for a reason. i think its an amazing story, but you definitely should not read if ur not in a good mental state. gets very graphic at times, the last volume especially has never left my mind for 3 years since i read it.

story/concept is interesting but i feel it was poorly executed especially towards the end. i feel the character development wasnt that good either... the website thing reminded me of mahou shoujo site? idk

tl;dr you're better off reading madoka magica

this was one of my first magical girl series... i think its a nice concept but its clear a lot of the heavy material like rape, bullying, and torture are just there for edgy purposes. theres just a lot wrong with it. not to mention the unnecesssary incest (anime isnt any better tbh. i really like the concept im sad its not a good written story.)
