A 5.5 Tatami Tryst

As someone who's read a lot of hentai, when you see those black blotch effects in the title of the chapter... you know somethings up.
This chapter is a lot darker and has some pretty heavy implications than what appears on the surface.

This chapter is a lot and it's revealed by the end that this "Tryst" is actually about how Hajime who's a miserable salary man who wants that "happy life", met Eiko while riding the train home from work (Page 6) and thought she could be the one who can make him happy. He then takes her back to his place and ends up r*ping her (Page 17), and then decides to keep her there, doesn't allow her to leave the apartment and hides her from his neighbors. This goes on for a year with Eiko now in love and borderline yandere for Hajime (Page 10) with Hajime getting tired and annoyed of Eiko to the point of selling nude pic of her which Eiko hates doing (Page 11) and only keeps her around because he knows he in too deep. And on the last page you hear the gossip at the local supermarket about how a girl (Eiko) has been missing for a year and how they're still actively looking for her with Hajime questioning what to do next (and from what I assume he is going to have Eiko go back home).
Not even a cute, busty girl with short hair can make this miserable bastard happy....

-There's some parts of the story that are a little ambiguous with the biggest being us not knowing how old Eiko is or her thoughts on the situation. Also if she was already planning to run away from home, if she genuinely liked Hajime from the beginning or if him forcing her to stay at his apartment and using her for sex for a year had her developed stockholm syndrome.

Well that was... dark. At first the girl seemed unnecessarily clinging and annoying but page 6 made things seem suspicious really fast. Well it just got worse from there, oh man...

He says it as if she's chaining him down.

I like the art, but goddamn is this story just a complete boner killer. Not sure what tags to suggest, but I think there definitely needs to be something to indicate that the MC is a fucked up piece of shit. "Forced" tag might be a good start.

Grim Debut by this artist on FAKKU. Still got my IN-terest so that, if a sequel shows up one day, I'll try it out.
