Looking for a manga which i found a while ago, then lost again. I can’t really remember what happened in it. It’s kind of old manga style, like the art is kinda old style. It’s about a boy, I think that in the beginning he falls in love with a girl. Later in the manga, but also quite early, an older man is (I think) blackmailing him into letting him rape him. The old man later whips him while raping him. I think he lives in the same house as the man, may be his dad or step-dad. I don’t know what makes a detective come, but later in the series there’s a detective who is investigating something about the main boy. I think the mains brother or stepbrother hired the detective. I know the mains “brother” has blonde and not short hair. The main boy I think has curly black hair. Somewhere in the manga the main boy also meets someone who’s a mute. Does anyone know which manga I’m thinking about? ╥﹏╥

I’ve actually looked for similar manga, but haven’t really found any. Except maybe http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/coponicus_no_kokyuu/ which has kind of the same feel to it!
I read this as a kid/teen before it was finished (or at least finished translated). As I was a troubled teen I came back to it many times because I could relate. As well as finding comfort in the gruesomeness of it all. As a concept I think it still holds up today, but it’s a hard read. The characters are terribly misogynistic, I would even argue that the author is too to some extent (the female characters are always in the background, they are never part of important conversations and they mostly act as love interest or for plot development). I also think the author has a skewed view on suicide which impacts the whole story as it depends and revolves around exactly that. I am and will be biased towards it though as it holds a sentimental value for me. I’m looking forward to rereading holyland, and the prequel to Jisatsutou (suicide Island) named Muhoutou (lawless island), and after that Mori Koujis other works.
