After reading chap 1, I stopped.

DP released the first chapter, I read it and I decided I should stop. I stopped reading the manga after chapter 1 mainly because I have this ominous feeling that this manga will be full of heartaches, betrayal ~the usual heavy stuff. I think I couldn't handle that especially if the manga is still ongoing. However because another story namely Sora o Daite Oyasumi caught my attention, I found out that both are works of Kyuugou-sensei. So here I am, reading this manga again. TT_TT it just gives you all these emotions.
As the other reviewers said, the main ingredient of this mangaka is indeed dark stuff, which i found highly admirable considering that only a FEW mangaka can use that element and are brave enough to show something akin to RL. These mangaka who uses psych in their manga are smart I just hope that she would make her stories all 'happily-ever-after'
If given a chance i would really love to meet this awesome mangaka.

Another GOOD one by Kyuugou-sensei

And like her good ones, we have to wait for the next installment. :/ I like it still though; the way Kyuugou sensei tells her story and well, everyone has something to do with someone in THIS story.
Also, can we update/add Yaoi in the genre? It didn't show the Yaoi in the first few chapters, but well, the *fun* part shows in the latter ones, so please mods? *Mwah!*

At first I was not really interested in this series, but since it's Kyuugo's work I started to pick it up. Once I read it I coundn't put it down anymore, until chapter 26, all the complicated relationships got nearly enlighten, my tear couldn't be held back anymore.
They're really living in the acid town, their feet get chained down, their life are in shambles, both generations to boost the already grim fate,
I'm on my tiptoe now waiting for the new chapter as I'm with Sora wo daite oyasumi T_T

So here are some of my thoughts:
- Reiji was originally in love with his brother Ryuji
- Tetsu may develop as an antagonist (or maybe not)
I long to know what will happen once Reiji knows Yuki is his nephew. But more than anything I want HyoudouxYuki.

hey, Acid town isn't finish, is it? The story looks cool and I'd like to see how it ends... oh, but Kyuugou normally makes one-shots... ò.ó maybe is like "let's annoy readers leaving the story unfinished" or maybe like some authors that take so much time to finish their stories... Uah... I'm raving, sorry ^^' Well, someone knows something 'bout chapter two?? Thanx so much!!

I was a big fan of Kyuugou, which is what prompted me to pick this up.
I've read 13 chapters so far out of sheer curiosity. Acid town itself is immensely dull, overcomplicated and depressing if you're not already a fan hardboiled Yakuza-themed manga. I, like many of you expected this to be a little different from the usual, formulaic kind of BL story. And it was. So different it barely resembles BL. One of the characters is
Kyuugou must have concentrated every negative, destructive feeling they've ever had into this because it is one big rolling ball of disappointment.

I've read 13 chapters so far out of sheer curiosity. Acid town itself is immensely dull, overcomplicated and depressing if you're not already a fan hardboiled Yakuza-themed manga. I, like many of you expected this to be a little different from the usual, formulaic kind of BL story. And it was. So different it barely resembles BL. One of the characters is
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
gay and in love with his best friend, typical of Kyuugou works
and the other Spoiler (mouse over to view)
has endured unspeakable sexual abuse at an early age
. Instead of developing the relationship between the two main characters, it's sidetracked after so much anticipation and hope. The longer romantic developments are put off and other aspects of the plot are explored the more the romance becomes a novelty. This is in sharp contrast to BL titles which are driven by the central romance, with the characters constantly going at it, which can get old. But in Acid Town, instead of the romantic relationship being the desired goal sometime during the length of the work, it is intercepted by unpleasant twists and turns. At every page there will be a minor detail introduced to deepen the dark, foreboding and bleak prospects of the story. Spoiler (mouse over to view)
The tormented main character continually assures us that he's not fit to be the protagonist of a shounen ai by displaying the mental and physical scars he's gotten from the abuse. Any romantic encounter involving him would be disturbing for us to see, considering how conflicted he is about romance. Maybe this was the intended effect but making homosexual acts seem repulsive by showing a child being sexually abused and then his traumatized older self not ready for any kind of romantic pursuit defeats the purpose of making this a BL. Why show the evils of BL in a book intended to be read by fans of BL? Was the point of the story to further torment the already unstable protagonist? This title would have been more appropriate without the homosexual overtones.
Kyuugou must have concentrated every negative, destructive feeling they've ever had into this because it is one big rolling ball of disappointment.
