self harm, suicide

didn’t romanticise sexual assault or mental health issues. i really liked the way it ended but it was quite a roller coaster and i hated the seme’s cap. like i genuinely hated how it looked but i guess it’s a style. anyway, beautifully done i would love to reread some of those scenes which are now my comfort scenes lmao

definitely not a comfort read. i added this just because it kinda matched the topics of the other stories.

this story is so messed up. i genuinely despise the seme. a manipulative little ass who does awful things to the uke. it was a really hard one to read and i wanted to give up quite often.

if you want to feel down, read this :) it genuinely worsened my mood :)))

Two birds on a wire ~ nah this one was so angsty and so unhappy. One can’t stand being alone and unloved. The other loses himself.

There’s a gangster top tho and I love him <3

What can a LIST do?

You may feel your favorite manga should be gathered together into distinct categories for your own reference and, now, you can do this with a LIST. After you've created your list or lists, you can proudly recommend them to other manga fans to showcase and share your taste in manga.

Omg thanks for reminding me this story existed! I can’t believe I haven’t added it but I’ll add it to the list now!

This is such an amazing list!! ♡
I love how straightforward the description is for each one and also how you included Ed's!

Another huge recommendation is "A cruel God Reigns" written by Hagio Moto.
Here's a link: https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/zankoku_na_kami_ga_shihai_suru/
It has emotional, physical and sexual abuse. TW: minor.
+ a suicide attempt

Pretty heavy but it fits this list so well~

Chiaki November 19, 2024 12:12 pm

+ drugs and prostitution
