Did Not Get the Girl: Yuko is married with children by the time Seiichi sees her again after the time-skip. While they both recognize each other, they choose not to interact. Mama Bear: Deconstructed with Seiko. She really is way too overprotective - her response to Shigeru faking tripping her son off of a cliff is to toss him off said cliff for real, which results in the poor boy suffering permanent brain damage. It's also shown numerous times that while she loves Seichi, she's far too clingy for her own good, and her violation of his personal space makes him very uncomfortable. Seichi later comes to believe she was trying to kill him, seeing his face in Shigeru and decides to similarly discard his past self...who also seems to be Shigeru in reality. Osabe’s mother seemed to be shady since the start of the first chapter. The way how she smiled at him … was really creepy.That's about it, I rate it a 10/10, obviously it's subjective and I don't want to imply that this is a flawless story; every manga has its shortcomings; but I think that its qualities are big enough to "forgive" them. Bob Dylan". Salon.com. May 5, 2001. Archived from the original on October 28, 2012 . Retrieved May 13, 2013. Seiichi gets this treatment increasingly often as the story unfolds and his life unravels; his expressions of silent horror are exaggerated until his face becomes a sunken-eyed mask. Plot/Story: 8/10. The story is really interesting and it unravels by every chapter, we get to learn more and more details about the past of the main character and the plot of the story of why this and that happened. There are basically no filler chapters who have nothing to do with the story, the manga focuses on the story A LOT. who is cheating, mother who is sliding to the crazy side it doesn't even matter what classification of disease and a boy who lives with it since he has no choice (Reference to a holes yes he has many choices, i know that but i'm talking about an average kid who doesn't have any trades and is of average intelligence (straight A's in school don't count )).

Jizzed in My Pants: When Fukiishi kisses Seichii, Seichii wakes up to find "stuff" in his pants the next morning. To further drive the point home, in the panel where they kiss, Seichii appears to have the "stuff" explode out of his body to symbolize the intense feelings he felt. I can't describe the story too much, without spoiling things. But the general feeling you get is like waiting for the other shoe to drop. You know some horrible thing is going to happen. You don't know when, you don't know who it's going to happen to. But you know it's coming. The dread is overwhelming. There was a scene where a woman, in the distance, got off her bike and started running. That's it. And the context of the story was so terrifying, that I actually started saying, out loud, "Oh god, no, no, no, no, no..." Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Seiko presents herself as a classic loving mother, but the things she does for Seichi's sake show that she wants him for herself. Bob Dylan — Matt Damsker interview. 1978. Hotel room. 1 PM in afternoon before the start of the tour , retrieved May 24, 2022Incest Subtext: Oh boy. While Aku No Hana had quite a lot of subtext around the Interplay of Sex and Violence, this story instead has a lot of it based around Seiko's over-protectiveness of her son. Seiko gets really up close and personal with Seichi numerous times throughout the story, and one chapter has her choke Seichi while straddling him in a pose that looks very suggestive. It gets even worse as the manga goes on with one chapter revealing Seiko and Seichi laughing and cuddling with each other while the father looks on in horror. All the while, the living room is covered in filth.

last sentence, don't be affraid, don't expect unusually long dialogues or monologues about philosophical topics, as a matter of fact, this manga doesn't even have much text, it focuses a lot on facial expressions, and the drawings fit perfectly the gloomy mood of this story. Hope Spot: There is hope that Seichi will recover from the trauma inflicted by his mother after she is taken into custody. That hope comes crashing down hard when Seichi himself succumbs to madness and pushes Shigeru off of the same cliff, this time resulting in Shigeru's death.Disproportionate Retribution: Shigeru seems to have been a brat who made fun of Seiichi, but did he really deserve being pushed off a cliff? Psychology is always a complex subject to deal with in the real world as well as the entertainment world. No wonder when executed correctly, they can do wonders. Despite her face never contorting into anything physically hideous, Seiko gets a lot of these thanks to the manga's uncanny shading.

Staff Lists: Top 100 Albums of the 1970s". Pitchfork. June 23, 2004. Archived from the original on April 15, 2013 . Retrieved January 11, 2013.On my personal rating scale, its a 9/10, although I extend a word of caution against a universal recommendation. This narrative demands an audience of mature individuals, aged eighteen and above, who possess both the intestinal fortitude and intellectual power to digest very hard and dark themes. Writing: 9/10. The dialogue between every character is really effective and it shows much more about their personality. Every dialogue in the series somehow leads to further uncowering the plot that's happening. And the dialogue shifts from Casual to Complex. Some dialogues you really have to delve into the manga to understand what they truly mean by saying those specific words. Dissonant Serenity: Despite her generally muted demeanor, repeated episodes of this hint at there being something severely wrong with Seiko. Seiichi slipping into the same detached state as he recounts his "dream" signals his transformation into a monster like his mother.
