this is cute. mc is sooo adorable i like that she stands her ground and acts on it immediately!! not the typical softie white lotus that surrenders to circumstance without doing a thing.
there aren’t as many sex scenes as i thought for a smut story, but it’s fine because the art is really nice and mc is fun and relatable (the doggy style pose reference in stick figure killed meeee).
and ML is lowkey annoying me for the lack of communication and “why is she doing this” when clearly he hasn’t been doing enough and isn’t paying attention to MC. it’s a common miscommunication trope but i can let it slide because again mc is soooo cute!! i want to see more of her sexual explorations and perhaps they could even branch out to the bdsm scene :3 i hope allll her sexual fantasies come true amen
ok. contrary to other comments nothing was really worth crying for me, and because of them i was expecting a much worse, sadder outcome. but what’s left for me after reading this is just .. a jumbled mess.
i’m both confused and in awe. what’s true and what isnt? the line between film and reality was blurred, i was second guessing the narrative the whole time, not knowing what to expect after each panel.
i’m in awe of the artistry. the use of panels and medium (both manga irl, and phone filming as the perspective to story telling) is GENIUS. the details and paneling, stills to show a pause or the passage of time. fujimoto is skilleddddd i don’t know how else to say it. i was immersed but also not because like i said i really was doubting what to believe in here.
like rn even as it’s finished i don’t know how to process and make sense of what i just read. MC’s abuse(?), how he processed his mom’s death, then dealing with eri’s situation also having to go through all of that again. the mockery of his movie. showing it again at the festival. the time skip and the death of everyone in his family. was that even real? what the hell man i dont know what to beleive in.
AND THATS WHAT MAKES THIS SO GOOOOOODDDDD i need to read more of this guy’s works outside of chainsawman. i’m impressed










ok here are my thoughts. this definitely isn’t a porn without plot because there definitely IS plot going on, and it’s actually interesting. ML living a second identity stringing clueless FL along to investigate a life-changing incident in his past. i’m intrigueeed, and it’s enough to keep me reading this. the art is nice too.
however. i initially read this for the smut and i feel completely EDGEDDDDD by the god damn censorship i found it weird that the one night stand flashbacks didn’t show anything but i dismissed it since it was just memories. but the actual sex scenes at ch 18 (the first one!!!) didn’t show anything at all i felt CRAZYYYYY like there are no typical panels of a smut. no penetration, no nipples, no xray vision of penis in vagina or nipples in mouth, didn’t even show the damn dick like what the hell. not even light sabers. it’s all just the back view of ML, or FL’s face in pleasure.
it’s whatever. this feels like a G movie rating smut iykwim. my fault for expecting more i guess i wishhhh this becomes uncensored jebal. otherwise this is ok i like it. feels a bit draggy though but its fineeee
