BunnyBoo xxx's manga / #Trauma(11)

This is hands down amazing. The level of dark, the level of love, the level of gorgeous art. I couldn't get enough! I understood both our main characters and why they did what they did. I loved how dark this dared to go, yet how happy it made my heart.

I liked it, it had a really good healing message, and the romance made me happy. The art was gorgeous.

This is hands down the best portrayal of an abusive relationship, PTSD, and healing afterwards.

I really liked the uke, he was very relatable. The plot was also very interesting and I understood the choices the uke made and why he lived how he did. Unfortunately I found the seme to be... well, he seemed kind of dumb and I didn't feel like he fit his role at all.

I am traumatized. I love dark stories but.... Someone for the love of all things - SAVE THIS UKE! The author shows us a very realistic abuse victim and the way they truly act/think. That alone sets this apart from other dark mangas. This is the darkest thing I've read in my life, just for that reason.

I really loved this until the end. I loved the real portrayl of the PTSD he had, the messy relationships he had. Everything was chaotic but it made sense. That twist at the end though? Ruined the entire thing. A part of me can kind of understand it, because I also went back to an abuser after they got out of jail. But in this case, it didn't seem like a realistic option. He had such bad PTSD from him, I don't think he'd be able to look at him at all. He desperatly needed therapy, yes, but this was to much of a stretch. And the very ending with all that healing BS? Breaking those two hearts and giving us a vague tralalalala ending. Fuck that. It feels like a cheap trick to make this book seem 'deep' when it was deep enough as it was. The throuple should have been a healing throuple, he should have started therapy, stayed with his boys, and healed together in a loving environment.

The art was gorgeous, the story was interesting. The ex showed a lot of character depth, and what he chose to do was pretty interesting. Sometimes people that do wrong things, can change their ways. It felt like too easy of a story, although it was a good one. It felt like eating a slice of cake, satisfying but temporary.

It was dark and twisty but it was missing something I can't quite figure out. Maybe I wasn't a fan of how we got the bits and pieces of the past that he had forgotten. It just seemed like that part could have been a tad better. Also I wanted to feel Seme's hatred way more.
