Let me just start this by saying I decided to make this account purely because I wanted to give this a review, since there's only one so far :) Let me also say I had pretty low expectations and didn't really know what to expect from this manga and got it on a bit of a whim. I also won't spoil anything in this review!

Briefly put, I couldn't have been more surprised at how good this actually was. Considering the fact that it is a standalone manga with only six chapters, I felt that the story was done very well. The plot was what drew ... me to it and it was overall quite interesting but a tad bit predictable.

As for the characters, I'd say they were pretty good overall, though there wasn't a whole lot of character development, which is to be kind of expected for a story of this length. Still though, the small amount that there was, was satisfying and better than I expected.

The one thing I want to say about the art is that I absolutely loved how Yamada's eyes were drawn throughout the manga. It was perfect for his character and really added to his personality.

Also, yeah, it is indeed a yaoi so uhhh yeah be prepared for that if you read it, however it's not toooo heavy of a focus until the end.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this manga for its mix of horror and yaoi and would formally give it a 7.5/10 but round it up to an 8 for the MAL rating system :)

My review of this will be brief

The premise of the manga was very interesting. However, I feel like it should not have been restricted to 6 chapters. The story felt very undeveloped and rushed at some parts, due to its short length. If there were more chapters, I feel like the underlying story would have been more fleshed out, and worth the read. However, the story itself was a very unique and interesting story, and the main two characters are unique, though they lack depth. Therefore, I am giving a generous 5 overall, due to the fact that the story itself was a good plot, ... but was not executed as well as it could have been

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 ... years which makes it even worse. Even worse that the kid was going to stab him yet right when he was about to set himself free the MC shows up and rings the doorbell. Not my cup of tea but be prepared if it's something you might be able to handle.

That aside the artwork has a 90's theme which was a bit of nostalgia.
