Synopsis

The protagonist, a poor, moody student named Tachi Miroku, was recently recognized as the Best New Writer in a major literary competition, but the stress of living up to his family's goals of him becoming a powerful man has broken him on the cusp of greatness. Despite his tremendous potential, success does not come easy. Alone and without direction, every day is a vicious battle with his past and his moral fiber. He hasn't been to work in four months and his dreams are a total mess filled with abuse, taunting, and the strong smell of blood. And that is just the tip of the iceberg...

:: Intro & Narrative ::
"I am human, therefore nothing human is alien to me." - Terentius

Some manga fly under the radar. Especially those by authors with no other popular works that are based on novels from well over a century ago. And seinen titles generally just receive a lot less attention than series aimed at younger demographics. HOWEVER, A Falsified Romance deserves better. The art is outstanding, the story is thrilling and the dialogue thought-provoking. A psychological profile of a killer disconnected with life, complete with an accurate representation of the human mind, this is a manga that offers everything.

First of all, an ...

This is basically Crime & Punishment in a modern japanese setting. Almost everything was copied straight out of the novel, such as the plot, the characters as well.

Maybe it's because I'm desensitized to these sorts of things, but this manga wasn't very well at shocking me or giving discomfort. The main character was already jaded, albeit a bit of a paranoid character.

It seems like an unrealistic personification of mental illness and how it delves into murder. However, it is a good example as to how you can have pent up paranoiac episodes and fear for your reasoning to kill. It just doesn't seem "shocking" ...
