Synopsis

An innocent boy being strangled to death by the person he was fond of—this is the nightmare that haunts Terumichi Hoshino. Lately, Hoshino has been having this recurring dream, and the next time he comes to school, events akin to his visions unravel in front of his own eyes.

These occurrences begin when Hoshino's life intertwines with the charming and enigmatic Omihiko Yamada. Their feelings are completely mutual, and their relationship as classmates quickly transforms into an intimate one. When they are about to make out, a stranger lunges at Yamada with killing intent and slaughters him without remorse. Horrified by the horrendous sight, Hoshino attempts to save his slain lover, only to witness Yamada rise from the dead.

Good, but can be better. We only have 6 chapters, so the author couldn't develop more about the characters and the plot. The story could be better explored, but overall it's quite good if you want to read a BL series that has a plot and isn't too long. I also like the quote at the end " When people aren't afraid to die, what will happen to them?" showing that this story can offer some certain kind of philosophy. This is not for light-hearted people can't handle dark and horror, however horror is my cup of tea. The reason why I gave this 10 ...

Gesshoku Kitan, despite its interesting premise, fails to deliver a truly captivating story due to its horrific pacing.

It is a delight to see unconventional, and dark and gritty BL stories and it is a shame that Gesshoku Kitan did not have the time to develop its mystery and characters. The characters are all rushed to fulfil their roles, leaving no room for the reader to get to know them. Since it is difficult to connect with the characters, the climactic scenes (which are primarily focused on the characters) feel flatter than they should be. The mystery can hardly be called a mystery simply because, again, ...

Preliminary (2/6 eps)

WARNING IT CONTAINS CHILD GROOMING!!

I went into this thinking it was a psychological murder BL story but the ML is getting forced to do certain things to an adult all while stealing that kids stories and selling it as his own. This should have a SA warning, incase this triggers someone's PTSD.

THe artwork on the cover made it look interesting and the first chapter made it interesting while also left you confused as to what in the world just happened and is going on, however the second chapter it shows that SA scene and we hear it has been going on for 2 ...
