Lethe's Manga

Yooooo, a super cool action shonen with comedy, that doesn’t try to force panty shots or stupid unnecessarily sexual fan service??? And treats their women equally and with respect, because they can be strong too??? An actual fucking rarity.
I also love the reference to kafka’s metamorphosis, and how this is the opposite: instead of alienation after turning into an insect (monster), our protag works to finds acceptance instead through sheer will and pure-heart, and that he *isnt* useless.
Also, a mature and older protag, for once! Im genuinely sick of all the teenagers hogging the spotlight LMAO.
All the characters are super cool and strong! And it’s super wholesome! I genuinely fucking love this, it’s my new fav shonen.

Art’s great, and initially the story was intriguing. But it’s disappointing.
It would have been great, because it emulated Hannibal mixed with Roses and Champagne, except the author has a… straight man rape revenge kink fetish or whatever the fuck that was .
Anyways, my morals aint the best but I draw the line at rape. Consent is sexy, and rape is a specifically personal and dehumanizing crime that revolves around forceful sexual fantasies. And that just aint it chief. Shit, murder is preferable imo.
Im good with cannibalism and murder, but rape? Nu-uh.
What a rude boy of an ML, someone oughta revoke his dick privileges. And eventually his life privileges but one must start small and work their way through a meal to truly savor it. An amuse-bouche from an amuse-douche, if you will.
