Okay, before I start this review, I should mention that this has been the only work of fiction to ever directly make me want to kill myself. This isn't a joke, I actually didn't want to live anymore after reading this. With that out of the way, let me begin this review.
Story: 1
The story to this one is bad, there's an old man who decides to come rape an innocent little girl. That's it. He had no motivation and no characterization, he's just a sick fuck. This entire experience has been traumatizing to me, and I thought I have seen it all. I usually don't ... take points away for things like this, but when it's so unnecessary, and achieves nothing other than to traumatize viewers by taking advantage of the innocence of children, then it failed completely.
Art: 9
I begrudgingly give the art for this a 9, as despite how much I despise the existance of this manga, the art is extremely good. That isn't a saving grace however, that just makes it disturbing as fuck. It's almost like I'm actually watching real child porn which only amplifies my desire to end my life.
Characters: 2
I give this a 2 because despite the villain literally being worse than that rapist guy from SAO, I really felt bad for the victims and I don't wanna give them a 1.
Enjoyment: 1
I have never enjoyed anything less than this in my entire life. I enjoyed Boku no Pico many many times more than this, because that at least was a bit too ridiculous to be believable. I even enjoyed Sword Art Offline more than this despite feeling braindead after the first episode. In fact, I'll go watch that now as it is way WAY better than this.
Overall: 1
What the fuck was the author thinking? Authors can make terrible things happen in their stories, one of my favorite manga, Berserk, does many terrible things, including a rape scene of a boy younger than the victims of THIS manga, but Berserk never did it to make you want to die, it did it to show you just how weak and fragile all of those character's could be, it humanized them. This manga on the other hand distances the characters from you, and it serves no purpose at all other than to give me consent issues. If this manga was about the first victim as an adult, learning to cope with her trauma and find happiness despite the horrible things done to her, then it could be a masterpiece. But it isn't. This story is about a terrible one dimensional rapist who does terrible things for no real reason. This story doesn't teach any lessons, it doesn't make you think (except for what method you would prefer to end your life) and it most CERTAINLY is NOT entertaining in any way shape or form for anyone but the truly depraved. If you have not read this yetn avoid at ALL COST. If you wanna read something like this that is actually good, read Henshin. It actually has a purpose and earns it when it makes you feel sad.
