Okay, let me be honest, unhappy stories where everyone is miserable is my thing. But only when it’s like that for a good reason. However, in this case there is an overall air of “everything sucks and we’re all doomed to repeat our mistakes“. I did not feel anything reading this. Except for the hatred I developed for each character. I despised them all. No one’s motives/actions make any real sense and it’s all a bunch of BS to me. I don’t mind when things are left to the audience to interpret but this manga literally doesn’t make sense. If I’m being fair, I don’t know how things work in Japan. Although I’ve read a good share of manga to know that this isn’t it.
Moving forward, I felt so much contradiction. It’s so preachy and annoying and I honestly couldn’t stand it. The only reason I was able to finish it was because I have this urge to go through to the end with everything I start.
[spoilers ahead]
I had so many unanswered questions and the one that bothered me most was who in the hell was that Misato (the worst female character I’ve come upon btw) and why was she changing her mind every 5 minutes. Nothing she ever did was explained and we never got to know what was the deal with her weird brother.
Things aren’t black and white like this makes it out to be. And what was the message again? “Women are destined to be taken advantage of by men??” “The only way to overcome sexual trauma is to sleep with someone you like?” Or was it “If your husband is cheating on you, then it’s a good time to get pregnant??” Literally F all that. I’m hoping the author did not intend for that kind of thing and she only has a bad way of presenting her ideas.
And if you want me to get started on the plot, well, thank god there isn’t even one.
The only redeeming feature was the art, and even that was mediocre at best.
