miyu's manga / #Dark(8)

The Mangaka's take on rape and how the victims deal with the aftermath resulting some drastic changes in some and how dark it makes their behaviour and the person as a whole. An imperfect but good ending

Ahh this is one hot mess concoction of psychological mindbreak fuckfest that I had the pleasure(maybe? No.) of witnessing... When I first read it back in 2014, I had just started reading manga. I had read it in one go and I remember having mixed feelings with it abruptly ending like that and having many questions which will remain unanswered...It's a pity and sad that the mangaka died leaving behind this manga which had the potential of being a very good psychological yaoi read.. The most interesting (and disgusting) character from the psychological pov is the elder brother and I wanted his backstory on how he became the twisted sociopath that he is now, how he came to the conclusion that since his masochistic mother likes being fucked roughly then his lil bro might like it too...All in all a good psychological read. I would like to thank the mangaka for this art piece and may her soul rest in peace.

I'm all up for dark, psychological mangas with their beautifully twisted characters but this manga leaves me feeling dry. Imo its a messed up plot with no base along with its unreasonable characterization. The dark elements is thrown along the story development just for the heck of it, which makes no sense as they are neither intelligent nor logical and it doesn't explain how they make such decisions from their perspectives clearly. A rushed illogical ending which arouses no sympathy from me(except the mother; she DESERVED BETTER poor soul RIP) for the characters. At last, the only redeeming factor for this story is its ART.

Totally worth the psychological treat for those who like to read such shit. It extremely messed with my mind when I tried to think with the respective characters' POV or perspective and how they dealt with the situation. Other than that, the characters were all shitty but I could tolerate? the elder brother somehow coz he realized what he did was very fucked up and tried to help MC idk...The most irritating character is KyungSoo cuz he was the helpless victim to the T who didn't help himself or others with his actions. Him not fighting for his freedom or defending himself as much as he did till the end was frustrating to read.
