ALisAnimeLover's manga / #suicide(8)

TRIGGER WARNING: rape, suicide and necrophilia. That said, it can't really be called necrophilia since the seme isn't necrophiliac per se (i.e. he ain't even attracted to dead people, just the uke) - and it was actually consensual. This is why you need psychosocial therapy people.

TRIGGER WARNING: SUICIDE (ch 1 only) Ch 1: "I need to see him soon." Crap, who the hell is cutting all these onions??? *ugly sobs* The best in this anthology imo. Totally a 10/10 (and hence the 5 stars, I'm a sucker for tearjerkers. I just wish there was some kind of trigger warning though?) Ch 2: It's okay. I didn't even bother rereading it anymore. 4/10. Ch 3: Idk, I've read tons of stories with a similar story line, but I never get tired of it. Hahaha~ Not really great, but it is good enough to make my heart wrench... Or perhaps, I'm too broken by the first story that I can no longer be broken anymore. 7/10 Ch 4: Didn't bother rereading. I don't like it. Too fast tbh. And I don't feel the love unlike in all the other stories here. 1/10 Ch 5: Yakuza love shown how it should be. 5/10 Ch 6: Romeo and Juliet - BL version gone wrong. I guess I kinda spoiled it by saying it that way, but at the same time, it's not really spoiled? Well, that's that, sorry... 5/10 Ch 7: "Maybe it's not for us humans to judge him." WOAH. THIS IS NEW. Or not. Well, yeah, totally not. But the way it's executed is so good that it feels fresh. 7/10 Ch 8: I don't know. I really liked it until the last few pages. It got ruined for me knowing that *spoilers* the guy's soul still lingers around him, so he technically didn't go separate ways with the guy. I would like it better if 1) the ghost didn't show up anymore; 2) or it showed that the ghost is just an illusion because he couldn't get over the guy's death. 3/10

So this is about a guy who is haunted by a senpai he likes who committed suicide. But he's not really haunted but is simply depressed about the death of his loved one. The one shot supposedly wants to portray the monk setting him free from the "ghost" of his senpai by making him experience happiness and new love. But 1) the manga is too short, 2) execution-wise, the manga sucks, and 3) this is cliche, I've seen other mangas with the same premise and it is way better than this. The manga did not show any love and just showed that the monk is a spontaneous person, going as far as licking the MC's tears without consent. Just... bad. I'm a bit disappointed because I like the author. Although, not everyone's perfect, I'll give her that.

read back in 2017, now I don't know where I left off ;-;

//spoilers// The first story is darn tragic. It doesn't have the suicidal theme compared to the other two, but it's the only one with successful "double suicide" //not quite, but yes The second story is intriguing... Will it be a cycle of "double suicide"s? hmmm The third story... I hope he changes his pov :<

Trigger warning please. Anyway. Damn. That's why you need a psych.

Ch1: about a girl who is a reincarnation of a ghost's former lover who she supposedly committed a failed double suicide with Ch2: a story of a vampire who turned white because he lost his fangs Ch3: a girl who committed suicide got turned into a vampire. A story of her and the one who witnessed her suicide Ch4: a girl who's sold off to marry an old man tries to escape her fate by kidnapping a noble in hopes to make him fall in love with her and save her fate . . . Commentary (so I kinda remember because I have bad memory lol): I love ch1's ending. I would've hated it if it ended like other shoujo mangas with the girl falling in love with the ghost even though she already has someone she loves. (Like seriously, the ghost dude is creepy and too obsessed with the girl even though she's not the same person as her reincarnation). 7/10 Chapter 2 is... Okay, i guess? It didn't stick to me :/ 4/10 I like the disparity between the last two chapters. A girl got "kidnapped" and the other one is the kidnapper. One turned into a vampire in the beginning, the other at the end. Yet both are the same with regards to their complex and hate for their own life leading them to their vampirism. Both have realized their shortcomings, especially compared to the male lead. And both refused to let their loved one fall victim to the same fate. 9/10 (would be lower as individual stories, tbh, but I really liked them as a pair of stories)
