Well, we're going to a controversial hentai book by Shindo L~!
In all honesty... I don't like this book in my opinion.
HOWEVER, it isn't because it's sad or tragic. But rather the "execution" of the story/plot.
When you think about it, if you were in her (saki) shoes I guarantee that you could've dodge a lot of those problems she got in no problem.
Of course, some would be understandable such as dating someone who's a complete douche, but outside of that... doesn't it bother you that a lot of the situations Saki was in was very preventable? Especially the moment with her dad (Oddly enough that was my favorite scene). Like, it's one thing being anti-social, it's another just being an idiot with a super low EQ.
And the ending? I'm sorry, but it felt like something was missing. In my opinion what the artist could've added was like a scene where the news states out that she's dead, and see how everyone that knows her reacts to it. I think that would've been a good "cherry on the top" if they were glad or not caring about her demise.
I like the art and the scenes, very well done.
But in terms of doing a "tragic" plot which I thought it had such potential, was unfortunately very mediocre.
if any rating I would give it a 3/5.
what are your thoughts about it? Do you like it? Do you hate it?
Do you agree some of my points, or have I missed some?
then lemme know what you think about it.
