characterization in this story was leagues better than the previous one. I learn all about both characters, how they interact with each other, why they repel, and why they attract time and time again. I didn't expect to like this from the first chapter since bruno seemed like the rapey type, but I'm glad I stuck it out to just discover he was a creepy stalker weirdo (just like the brother).

I also loved the alternating points of view, you really get to see each character's thought process change from possession to love, and from repulsion to compassion. probably not the healthiest love story, but it was sweet despite all the darkness.

.. woah I actually liked this a lot. It's just a very effectively well-told story from start to finish from both main characters' points of view. I absolutely loved the mangaka's execution of the flows of sequence, and her delivery of the dialogues/ inner monologues definitely helped making them more emotionally engaging despite their being brief and fragmented. Some of the metaphors employed were also quite artful imo; coupled that with the sultry, alluring art style and we've got ourselves a surprisingly enchanting manga. Imma give it a 10 to boost up its ratings a little, as I'm honestly impressed I was hit with something so stylistic and seductive beyond my expectation after that prequel.
