Dentro Mari. Vol. 5

Okay, what the hell is going on? This is seriously creepy and I can't steady myself wishing to hurry everything and reach the revelation!! 4 more volumes! But lol, okay the real Komori finally had the guts to march up at midnight in front of a high schooler kid's window to confess his love! I mean,

Uhhh this volume was for sure uncomfortable, but like all of Oshimi's work I can't stop reading. So this time Mari comes clean to her friend but of course she doesn't react very happy after hearing what they did in Mari's body. Then we have Mari go to her old body's home where she speaks to her/hims Leggi tutto

We're slowly understanding that Mari, one of the most popular girls in school, in fact, hated her life and admired Isao for his simple, unpopular but happy life. The two are getting closer and the result is, interesting.

I binge read volumes 2 - 9 so this is a generalized review until finale. The story was weird, and uncomfortable and funny at times. The eros commentary at the end of earlier volumes was probably creepier than any single moment in the books. The first volume described this series as having a "scifi"

I like the story but this is getting way too creepy for my liking and like not the scary type of creepy, the type of creepy where your stomach turns and you feel sick. Not to mention I wasn't expecting to have to read so much (view spoiler) [ sexual things, like I understand why I needed to see what I saw and it wa (hide spoiler)] Leggi tutto
