I love you so I kill you T02

Product Information

Character Development: As I stated, she starts being quite energetic, forcing Kamishiro to go out and being nice to everyone who confesses to her. Basically, perfect popular girl. After chapter... what, 2? She ends up getting partial amnesia; after chapter 9, she gets infected and is terribly strong. She is then quiet and reserved and is barely seen, since she needs to be rescued from the hands of The Mastermind. In many cases, the trope involves the female character wanting the male to kill her, but the guy can’t deliver (Urotaukidoji, Gundam Wing). We also have the theme of death aesthetic going on. Some of the earlier seasons of America’s Next Top Model featured women being photographed like they were dead. Painted to look pretty in a tub of blood, or looking hot while drying on the sun-bleached pavement. It was weird, but apparently there’s a market for it 🤷🏻‍♀️ After chapter 9, the school setting is dropped and we have to deal with a fight between two organizations that head towards the same thing: finding a cure to the virus. This, of course, isn't a new thing seen in manga, but at this point I really didn't care. It also changes from a gore manga to a shonen style. Per questi motivi... mi sacrificherò e continuerò a leggere nonostante tutto, sperando in un miracolo.

It starts with a young guy who is meant to be seen as a freak, since he is obsessive with cleaning. We see him around school, trying to confess to his childhood friend who everyone loves too! Either way, after some time, he realises that his love has turned into... bloodlust?! What?! Character development: He gets some development, but it feels like it comes out of nowhere. After chapter 10, aka only a 1 month timeskip, he is suddenly more serious, not scared by anything at all, nor is he afraid of confrontation. He now believes in the "power of love" and friendship and basically becomes way more average of a protagonist than before. If I recall correctly, we only see him cleaning like three times (even when that used to be his main character trait), so he even lost that. This idea of a male protagonist fighting his urge to kill his love interest is nothing new in anime/manga. Having said that, it's also very similar to Kiseijyuu and Tokyo Ghoul; probably another half a dozen other titles with similar plot lines...It's got an interesting premise and sets up lots of mysteries within the first few chapters that keep you guessing. I wouldn't really categorize it as a typical shounen, mostly because it doesn't really feel like the stereotypical shounen. It doesn't have the same predetermined structure where the character trains to beat a boss type character and then faces another boss type character and this continues on for many, many chapters. (Just as a side note, I love shounen manga, so I wouldn't mind if that was the case, but that really isn't the structure of this manga) I think this feeling stems from the fact that it doesn't really have the same separating arc structure of a shounen; all the plot things bleed together.

I just started vol. 2, and I’m getting the feeling this is going to be a Cain/Abel out of Sandman dynamic, where the girl can regenerate and sometimes lets the protagonist kill her 🤦‍♂️ It's nothing from another world, especially in parts centered in dialogue, but I might say it's, generally, above average..Alright, so I finally finished Konya wa tuski. It's only 35 chapters long, but I say "finally" because I had to struggle to reach the end. Not because it drags on, but because it wasn't much of an enjoyable read. I honestly considered dropping this manga many times, but I continued going since I felt I just had to write a review for it. Art. Hmmmhm. The art is very nice. Easy to read. Not much to complain. Except for one flaw. Male characters tend to be a bit more varied in terms of facial design, however female characters suffer from the ''same face'' syndrome, where it looks like the same person with a different wig. It's not really bothering too much, I just personally take more attention to the art, so occasionally I see 2 different characters and notice they look identical. But shouldn't be much of an issue for most people. Fights are easy to follow, and are just alright. They usually get a power surge from bloodlust or love.

Just after that, Hanazono dissapears. After her leave，he joins the organisation and teams up with three ID infectees that try to overcome their blood lust: Akito Nishihashi, Ryouko Etou, and Tatsuya Kawamura. His objective is finding Hanozono and kill her. We see similar things in film and television. The first season of Hannibal took murder as an art form to a whole new level.

This book dabbles in that. I think it is mainly just trying to make cute ladies look cute while dead. I don’t think they are too focused on death aesthetic (in Hannibal it is a visual priority and integral to the story). It is worth noting. Of course, our protagonist only wants to kill her because he’s infected. This takes the “burden” of agency out of the equation, and makes the story seem indulgent a bit in a weird ass incel fantasy.
