Absolutely do not read this if you are sensitive to dark topics. This is the darkest, most vile, most disgusting thing I think I've ever read, And it amazes me how much it does so. I felt sick to my stomach, and I don't want to ever feel that way again, but I do have to commend the utter dread it makes me feel. I was unsure of what to rate it, and considered rating it a 10/10 due to how disgustingly brutal it was, but decided against it because this is by no means a masterpiece. I do think I have learned multiple things

[Oshi no Ko]
(Manga)
add
This is a masterpiece, It is beautiful, It made me cry, and will give you secondhand emotional damage, but you will love it for that. Each arc is masterfully crafted, and explores different areas of the entertainment industry, but in my opinion, the absolute best thing about this story is the characters. The part i enjoy most about any story, but especially this one is characters and their characterization. The character writing is amazing, and I feel for these characters, elevated to even higher extremes by the breathtaking artwork. One of very few stories I might consider a masterpiece, that got emotional despite the fat

Kumo desu ga, Nani ka?

Honestly this anime is pretty generic in many aspects (especially character design) but I must rank it pretty high, as what it lacks in originality (at first at least, this show gets wild. I've been reading the manga, and it gets even more wild than the show so far) It more than makes up for in personality. The one thing that matters the most to me, is characterization, and the main character is so much fun that her portion of the story was more than enough to make up for the (pretty boring in my opinion) second plotline. I did not enjoy the second plotline

The Dawn in Moscow
(Manga)

This is a great manhwa but i must admit, I wouldn't have rated it 10/10 if it werent for the fact that the main character's struggles about forgetting who they are didn't personally resonate with my struggles. I would still rate it high, about maybe an 8, or 9, but i can't bring myself to because of how it impacted me. The dedication by the author of researching classical music, and it even got me listening to some new pieces I haven't heard before. The story behind the piece Tatiana plays after waking up (Rachmaninoff's The Bells, and its relationship to Rachmaninoff's Prelude Op. 3

Seibetsu "Mona Lisa" no Kimi e.
(Manga)
add
One of the few manga I would give a 10/10. It's a beautiful story about identity, and even if you don't find identity struggles personally relatable it's still a great read. Aside from that (I would have left it short and sweet, but it's demanding I make my review longer) The characters are written masterfully, and while some may come off as unlikeable, they realize thier mistakes, and they grow. The art is also beautiful, and the black and white, with occasional spots, or at times splatters of blue make what would otherwise be a well drawn black, and white manga pop with color, and
