It's about miserable people finding each other and making their lives even more miserable, instead of the opposite.
Honestly many things could of been avoided with smarter decisions but because the characters was so desperate about how others saw them they avoided having a good possible relationship despite being able to relate to each other.
At first you feel bad for the male lead but then realize his character is no more redeemable after his third kill. A friend offered to help him until he pushed them away.
It comes to the point where it's like is there any point in reading any more but then we have to find about the female leads "motives" but the "mystery" was she's just indecisive and it doesn't help that she doesn't have a proper understanding of love. You almost feel bad for her until you remember she could have stopped the male lead before the third kill that wasn't justified an anyway but she had to let it happen because she was jealous.
The premise of people who only have miserable lives and have only been hurt was interesting but it didn't justify taking an innocent persons life. Only the first two kills made sense because they were evil. He killed the friend who could of helped fixed this mess. The two main characters can't make room for romance because their feelings are so twisted and they know they went too far.
Trying to deal with the "logic" of this story:
Now in the first nine chapters you may think arresting the male lead for self defense is ridiculous but now that I think about it he had a whole ton of witnesses that could have bailed him out.
He was even given a second chance to bind up that same guy who turned out to be alive, showing up at his house and turn him in proving his innocence but no he had to play hero of justice. I'm not saying the guy didn't deserve getting killed but why get himself involved any further. He's not in the woods he lives in an apartment complex and you mean to tell me there were no witnesses what so ever, or no one to help him.
Also, what's the point of cleaning up if your just going to play with the dead bodies. Separating organs and putting them in bags. No wonder he got caught.Taking rest breaks casually as if he has a back up plan. Dude was just edgy and not in a good way.
I was going to give it a decent 5.0 rating only because it entertained me and how the male and female leads pasts were written. But when I look back on it there's not many compliments I can say. The story is eye candy for gore addicts but that's about it.
I believe that even people in these characters foot steps could have made better decisions. They deserve the ending they got because they went in too deep. There shouldn't be a happy ending.
It's sad when you realize this could be anybody, all I can say is using your brain can make you're life a little less miserable if it's that bad. Being lonely is one thing but taking an innocent life is another.
Made a nice binge read though and good art.
Still I feel like this could have potentially been a better story about changing for the better but instead it discourages the idea.
Pros:
Decent back stories
Artist draws and colors people well, most characters have their own unique design.
Cons:
Too many bad personalities making most characters one dimensional
The romance isn't genuine or real.
Female lead ruins expectations by coping out and playing victim.
The story is only negative. Killers are bad for the sake of being bad, and seems to have no purpose other than that.
Lacks atmosphere. Feels like running around in circles.
Situations that happen too fast, The characters literally bond in the span of two days at least and the police catch on too quickly.
The male lead is incredibly strong for the least skilled killer out of the three.
If you were hoping for a yandere love story this ain't it either.
Male lead paints himself as good but learns he actually likes killing because it was the only thing he was supposedly good at.
