Bara No Tameni
WARNING I'm gonna rant
effin hell, this was pure torture to read, I'm not sure how I survived till last chapter, or why did I even read it all, perhaps coz I dig this old schoolstyle manga art.
Everything about it pissed me off, the characters were giving me hemorrhoids for cringing inwardly so hard.
I think this manga broke every record for characters crying, now don't get me wrong, I'm pretty used to characters crying..especially in shoujo mangas, but this was whole new level for me. I started to hate them more and more with each tear they shed (sorry not sorry)
Should I even begin how gross it was to read maybe 10 times per chapter where everyone is insulting Yuri, absolutely everyone in this manga insulted her many times calling her too fat and ugly, and her admitting to it..then cried because she can't get prettier or skinner. I understand a joke but this was overdoing it way too much.
And the moral of the whole story? Even ugly and fat people like Yuri can be loved (hurray for all the ugly ass people in the world, rejoice! what a time to be alive)<note a sarcasm.
Considering the story and perhaps breaking some incest taboos, the story was incredibly shallow and same stuff kept repeating till the end.
I have to mention her stepsister (or whatever the f she was, I was lost in all that confusion whose child is which and at that point I stopped bothering to remember it), all her scenes in manga were so hilarious, the way she posed everytime she talked to someone or thought about something, it was ridiculous, if i didn't knew better I would say it parodies on general manga characters when they are in thoughts so they appear to be wiser and deeper. She was the queen of it. Brilliant
I see I'm a minority with this opinion, but I would advise anyone who dislikes first few chapters to skip this manga because it's waste of brain cells. Unless you're into family drama then go ahead, this has plenty of it.
