This perfectly described what I was thinking about this manga
literally how I feel i was really interested at the start but to be honest the characters have no depth and it’s just the same thing over and over it’s getting boring. Haruki is literally just a nice guy who’s selfless and constantly gets put into bad situations while shirayuki is just in love and constantly protects haruki. that’s their whole character like can they please get more personality? Can we get a different plot point than a crazy person traumatising haruki again and shirayuki ends up torturing/killing them..? I’ll still read this but it’s such a shame because this has so much more potential honestly
Holy fuck this manga needs every trigger warning imaginable ngl...
But I have to admit, I'm intrigued. Yandere BLs are fairly interesting to me and Shirayuki seems to be a clear-cut case of one. I'm also weirdly amused how fucked up everyone in this world is, like that place can NOT be functional.
I see the potential but there are some glaring issues. Besides the story being messy, the main characters haven't really developed as people so far. I hope Haruki grows a bit of a spine soon tbh, because while I love him and I want to give him a hug and a big tank full of fish, his naivete is a bit frustrating narrative-wise. I really don't wanna victim-blame him, none of this was his fault, as a reader such an overly innocent character can get exhausting fast. On the other hand, I hope the Yandere boyo gets knocked down a few stages. He's too powerful and it makes every conflict boring.
As others have pointed out, the rape scenes are also pretty tastless. Revenge rape isn't edgy, it's not fun, it's just disgusting. Morally, I'd even put it beneath revenge murder because it's unnecessarily cruel and honestly portrayed in a weirdly fetishist way.
I'll keep reading tho, let's see where this shit goes (づ￣ ³￣)づ
