oooh which new harada manga?
it's new-ish. i've been sitting around debating whether to give it a try. http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/nii_chan_harada/
ah that one, and i was excited because i thought there is new one lol you should read it, its so .. so .. ugh! lol
lol i open up a tab to read it then i accidentally read the comments and then i just...stop
a friendly advice for you: never read comments! they can be spoiler-ish or very bullshit. better to read it and made your own opinion :)
Don't read it. It's too realistically painful to read. Idk if you know the summary already, but I'll say it here. Little kid was bouta get raped by pedo, his "nii-chan", but ran away in the last minute cuz he was scared. nii-chan disappears cuz he was caught by kid's parents and doesn't wanna get jailed you know. As little kid grows up he can't forget his nii-chan because he was brainwashed to think pedo nii-chan is a good guy and that the reason the pedo is now gone is because of him. He feels it's his fault the pedo doesn't like him anymore. One day he meets his nii-chan again and they have sex because kid wanted it. He was recorded and blackmailed to stay with his pedo nii-chan forever. Also nii-chan doesn't believe kid loves him, hence the blackmail. I dropped the manga on 3rd chapter, idk, wondering why I didn't just drop after 1st chapter? cuz I wanted to keep reading to find if there is a happy ending but it felt a little too much for me to take and it felt like there will be no happy ending. My summary only goes up to 3rd chapter. Whatever happens in the chapters after is unknown to me. So don't read it. Unless you're into rape pedo blackmailed sex kind of mangas.
you're right sigh. i'll probably give it another shot.
yeah, see, there was my hesitation - the realism. like i can deal with shota-con to a degree, but if it's too much like rl pedophilia (which i find absolutely abhorrent)....
i'll probably give it a try and be utterly grossed out, but, we'll see...
You'll survive. I don't forgive or condone pedophilia and I usually hesitate over reading mangas dealing with these kinds of themes but sometimes I want to get out of my comfort zone and give them a try. The plot's really twisted as expected, however, when you get to chap 5 I think, the story becomes just a little palatable I guess if you like Harada's brand of plot twists.
ok cool. i still haven't given it a go yet, but your opinion has given me an extra nudge towards doing that sooner rather than later.
that feeling when you don't know if you should read the new harada or not
