Quite an enjoyable and thrilling read, the ending subverts your expectations and it was rather refreshing, though still a bit bittersweet.

(More of a 'healing' messed up people story, though it's still far from fluffy)
Not nearly as dark or messed up as some of the other entries on this list (Killing Stalking). This manga is a personal favourite of mine, the characters are all rather morally dubious, but you can't help but love with them despite all their undesirable flaws.

Despite being a prequel, this should probably be read after the main story. Up to preference really.

I'm reviewing this a bit late so I don't remember exactly how everything went, but here's what I recall:
The main CP started off with a rocky and dubious relationship. It's a good read in the way where everyone is a little bit (or a lot) messed up. It's rather dark and dubious but they work on their flaws and work towards becoming better. I like that about this manhwa.

- Stalking
- Unhealthy relationship
- Stockholm syndrome (kinda)
- Unhealthy attachment
- Abusive
- Smutty

Haven't finished reading this myself, but no "Dark" or "Messed Up" (etc.) list is complete without this manhwa. But yeah, it made me unconfortable enough to the point where I dropped it, if you like this type of story, go for it.

- Pedophilia/shotacon
- Manipulation
- Predatory/unhealthy relationship
- Brainwashed (kinda)
- Smutty

Oh god I hated reading this. Don't get me wrong, the writing isn't bad, it's just messed up asf. Harada's great at writing about realistically messed up relationships, and this one is way up there. Objectively, the writing is good, subjectively, I hated it. Explores the consequences of pedophilia, the effects, cycle and so on.

- Psychos
- MC's an asshole (love it)
- Manipulation
- Mentally unsound ML

Main characters are written so beautifully in an incredibly twisted and immoral way. ML's a crazy serial killer, MC's has unhealthy and dangerous obsessions. Story's definitely worth a read; characters react realistically; bad behavior (like MC's arrogance) is called out; those who make poorly thought out decisions are met with punishing consequences.
