This will be my first manga review.

So imagine if one day you decided to mix the Sexual and depressing moments from PunPun with a Kaneki-head ass looking mc, what you will get is boy's abyss. This manga is kinda like highschool, not because I related to this during my highschool years, because it starts off with great potential but in the end, it makes you feel so stupid that you wanna off yourself.

The more you read, the more annoying it gets, not even joking, if it wasn't for the great art, I probably wouldn't have read 42 chapters of this. The characters are all retarded for some reason, the mc keeps going back to those who emotionally manipulated him, and the side characters are all there to serve the purpose of making the mc hate himself even more.

Personally, I'm completely fine with depressing stories and flawed characters, in fact, some of my favorite mangas and anime have both of these attributes. That's not to say that you can just mix them together, and except the work to be interesting or deep in any way, it just becomes a hot mess of depression and sex.

The main problem is the lack of build-up. I personally wasn't able to emotionally connect with any of the characters, because there was so little time for any build up to happen, before we jump into the main conflicts and stories. Emotional connections are an extremely vital part of these tragic and depressing stories, because without them, the story would just seem dull and hollow.

The themes aren't bad at all in my opinion. Dealing with abuse and emotional manipulation is a very serious issue for many people, but the characters are all used in a way that represent abuse instead of demonstrating it. For example, the teacher, represents obsession and emotional control. But she never got a meaningful background to her character that turned her into the type of person she is, she's just like that way. Of course, I'm sure it does get briefly explained when she was introduced, but again, it wasn't enough for me to connect and comprehend that.

The art is very good, and I think that's the main selling point of this manga.
