I can't even say I liked it. I liked parts of it: certain lines.
It's definitely horror. I had to read it twice to fully understand, plus a warning, on some sites the last chapter seems to have been uploaded backwards. (?)
Well, it's definitely interesting... and the art is fantastic.
But uh. Someone stick on an underage warning. I'd call Kuroiwa that if Kuroiwa wasn't portrayed on purpose to be a demon. A cursed, otherworldly demon. I mean, that part of it feels hardly like the point, though, lol. The point is that Kuroiwa
craves to be the one feeling that indescribable mix of both fear and pleasure, to be afraid the first time in his life.
"Yamada" wouldn't know love if it stepped on him. How strange.
Yamada, or Kuroiwa's only love, or yearning, is for death.
The "love" that Kuroiwa has seems to just be a demon's fascimile of it. I liked how Teru said, "This isn't remotely romantic. This is a curse."
There's something incredibly fucked up, but also kinda beautiful about the line "Because he said he loved me. To make this love last forever, I had to kill him."
But Teru... is what you have for Yamada/sensei really love..? He's not everything you thought he was. How can you say you loved him? You just have no one else. I can't say it definitely wasn't love, either, however. At least he told Kuroiwa to his face that he had called the police.
I'm scratching my head, wondering if this was more edgy for edgy's sake, or if there was merit to warrant this storytelling. It's strange. I don't really know what to think about it.
Well... at the very least, it would make for fun literary analysis with someone... IF I HAD ANYBODY TO TALK TO ABT IT LOL
