Some staircases are not meant to be traipsed upon.
Oneshot (Complete)





Can't describe it. Even though it is sooo short, I still got a pretty disturbing feeling. I felt bad for that black haired guy. "Cannot escape", seemed so painful for me. Especially that blood-chain he had with his legs.. Poor him. The seme is such a jerk.
This manga is an oneshot. Usually I don't feel anything by reading them. But this time I'm scared for some reason. (I'm an S, mind you. I'm used to reading these kind of stories.) The art was quite nice. Overall a disturbing yet short story. It's probably me who got disturbed, but I can't help it. Read it if you want to read something short with dark "plot" and plot only having few dialogues. I'm never gonna re-read this, nor gonna ever recommend this to anyone.
It's a really short oneshot, without deep characters or even a complicated plot. But... I really liked it. I thinks sometime the mysterious and dark stories are pretty good, and this one is one of them. Don't really understand why the low votes =)
My rating for this oneshot would be considered quite high. I think the mangaka's aim was to work the story around a cursed staircase and the story was both mysterious and kind of dark. It's not something you have to look too deep into. More of like if this was a novel, this yaoi oneshot would've been a drabble. It worked for what it seemed to aim for in the limited amount of pages.
The reviews made me hesitant, but I actually really liked this one. It's got a bit of darkness to it, and is borderline guro due to the blood. The sex isn't very graphic like most yaoi, as it mostly focuses on the uke's reaction to the rape. The art is quite pretty, especially if you like teary scenes. As the others said, the characterisation is low (or nonexistent), so be warned.
LOL I don't really know what I'm supposed to feel now that I've finished reading. Nothing really came across very clearly, it's like I'm in the middle of a fuzzy haze trying to grab hold of something to find a way out without much of a success. Still I have been a fan of this mangaka's art all along so that's probably the only definite thing I can pull out of this one-shot.
I just want to balance out the other reviews. I mean, it isn't long and there is little plot to it. But it's a very dramatical piece, beautiful art with little dialogue and if you like a bit more artistical angle on manga this is certainly in that category.
Reminded me that yaoi is "No plot, no point, no meaning". So I wouldn't especially ridicule it since the art was good and it wasn't painful to read or anything.
But really, it was a waste of time. At least only a couple of minutes though.
The best part of this was that it was short. I will give it a two because the art is normal so there could definitely be worse. Otherwise the story was completely pointless to me. Was it trying to be intelligent? Scary? Sexy? I have no idea, but it didn't achieve any of these things.
