Night of Ecstasy's manga / #Twisted(2)

Jesus christ I don't know what to make of this. On one hand, it's depressing as fuck and tragic but on the other I was morbidly invested in the story. To be honest, I didn't like the ending. Putting aside the fact that the Uke is clearly suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, it didn't feel like a happy ending or at the very least a bitter sweet one. It felt more like the characters were just like "fuck it, I guess I'm stuck with you now". To be honest it should've ended in tragedy with how things were. Also, I absolutely hate the "second couple" (if that's even a couple). One guy is quick to temper and treats his friend and others like shit while the other one is soft and can't muster up the courage to tell him enough. But, like the toxic main, they still end up together. (Little nitpick, but I think it's complete BS that the Uke forgot his past with Seme. Yes I know he technically "forced" himself to forget but still. That relationship was a major part of his high-school life.) All in all this was a strange but morbidly interesting read. Wouldn't recommend it for romantics though.

I read this story years ago. In fact, I found this site in search of where I could read this and I've been here since then. I'm not gonna rate it right now because I plan to reread it again now that I'm older. Problem is, I'm scared to reread it. I don't remember much, but the things I do remember has me feeling miserable. I've read some fucked up yaois but, for whatever reason, THIS was the one that stuck to me. So until I reread it again, I'm leaving this rating blank.
