tragedy

T_T the MCs?

read it:)

i want to know what i am getting in before getting in, so alittle spoilers would be apreciated, not major spoilers, just if the tragedy is in the past but the 2 main characters are moving on? or something else

I don't mind some tragedies as long as the MC are safe and sound lol

It's a full on messed up tragedy. Can't promise the safety of anyone.

Guess i will wait if it ever ends, and check it out again. If the ending was fine I will read it

Hello again! This is definitely a good read. If you know anything about BL by author, Kyuugou is closer to Nakamura Asumiko (J no Subete, The Inheritance of Aroma) than - let's say - Harada or Oogawa Chise. Her "tragic" aspects are necessary, literary, riveting, and thoughtful. The characters to not merely suffer for the point of aesthetics. She is currently my all-time favorite mangaka - I know I've seen you around, so if you remember me at all, you know my style as a reader is pretty psychological. Acid Town is not my favorite of her, however, and after giving this a shot I would recommend Sora O Daite, Oyasumi. :) good luck!

I never read Inheritance of Aroma, I read a bit and well I don't like incest stuff, but I read J no Subete and I liked it! I read lots for Harada, like Itou-San and it was great liked it. I'd always try things that doesn't end in tragedy or got incest.

The chances that this series will end are very small. Kyuugou has a reputation for spontaneously ending series just when the reader and the characters are at the peak of their emotional complexity. Sora O Daite, Oyasumi was like this as well as Munich 1921. She is more of a doujinshika than a mangaka, and she also does more illustrations than narratives, in general. All of this is to say that she is freelance for the most part and updates whenever she likes - we're lucky to get around 3 chapters per year. Acid Town specifically runs on the theme of protecting what is precious to you, and finding a joy like no other in having that special something to protect. I can tell you as her long-time reader that she isn't into destroying her characters without purpose.

Unlike Kaze to Ki no Uta (the first BL), her characters know what they want very clearly, and we are led to believe that we will be satisfied with what they learn about life, regardless of whether or not life hurts or helps them. Kaze to Ki no Uta, on the other hand, features characters that excruciatingly hard to handle because they don't know who they are or what they want. Everything they experience, be it good or bad, doesn't have any merit because they aren't fighting for any clear objective. The reading should not scare you because it is tragedy or because it might not have a good ending. Kyuugou-sensei knows that you trust and invest yourself in the characters. And she will respect that with a satisfying story, maybe not a cliche or overly saccharine one, but a great story nonetheless.

J no Subete also technically has incest in it though (lol). Hmm I think this series doesn't have incest in it, though I could be wrong. The Inheritance of Aroma ended badly, which was a surprise for me because lately I thought Asumiko-sensei was on point with her endings. Like with J no Subete, I felt the series should have been longer because the conclusion wasn't exactly satisfying. Kuraka Sui is on my to-watch list for new authors, for sure! (itou-san is by her) If you can deal with Harada, then Kyuugou is really no different, in fact i think you'll find her stories are warmer and have more psychologically accessible content. Good luck!

It's tragedies. Yes more than one. Main characters from my perspective of view are Yuki & Reiji, they are the most person who through so much, I say again, so much. They lost many things. Everyone here are all related and somehow you think like "he is bad. Oh he is not bad, he is the victim. He is suspicious. No he is good person." Story is being told in many angles and super good. You should read it.

Alright, I wanna try it out! I will take it slow tho like 1 chapter per week lol. Btw do you feel any love between MCs? You know those feelings that will soothe my heart when tragedies occur lol.
Oh and in J no Subete I always felt it was an abuse case and the father received his punishment ( tho it was too much that I actually felt bad for him)

I'd read a good story no matter how twisted it is but at least it makes sense. I read a manga called "pure" just for some unknown reason it turned to be a tragedy it didn't make sense, it was tragedy for the sake of tragedy and actually most of the tragedy genre in Yaoi are the same. I read Itou-san and it was tragic and the ending was open but I liked it because it made sense somewhat. Not only in Manga but in movies too, sometimes writers just want to write some tear jerking work so they use whatever in order to achieve it.

That's a really good question. I think that the characters genuinely care for each other, but displays of care and love are often warped or vague. In a way, the story "hurts" more because of this perpetual sense of warmth; this idea that "future generations will be better," is frequented throughout, but the reality of the story is that the main characters, the supposed "future generation," are born unto the legacy of misfortune woven by those that came before them. Despite every characters' sense of self-motivation and the importance of protecting what they care for, the series itself is consumed by hate and confusion.

Nope. This tragedy is not something you will cry over. But pity them. Basically it was story about feud of 2 yakuza families & 1 Chinese triad. 1 yakuza family wiped out the other one. The survivors are the children. But eventually, they still suffering great pain after they lost family. Then the tragedies started to these survivors. The story is also about revenge. But revenge is never be simple. Later you may say 'it make sense they want revenge'. The story didn't turn out ugly. It like you read mystery novel, everything revealed. But as I said because the story has many point of views, at the end we can't blame anybody.

you just nailed my weakness, i think i'll give it a try, even thought i know i'll suffer.
of course i know you there's few people here who has a similar taste to mine and you're one of them ^^

Amazing description for Kyuugou. I'm still bitter about Munich 1921. It's like it went premature ejaculation on me and left me hanging. UGH

But I can't hate Kyuugou-sensei 'cause she's just too great to be hated.

Kyuugou is currently my favorite mangaka of all time, next to Nakamura Asumiko. They're both such stellar storytellers of the visually nuanced proportion.

So honored and overjoyed to know someone has comparable interests to mine.

Thank you :)
