My Dearest Self With Malice Aforethought Vol. 1

Product Information

hides their true selves and true connections to the mystery behind a layered façade. Each reveal is only another aspect of their masks, setting up for another reveal. This culminates in a cast of nuanced characters, each interconnected in the complex plot. Three days have passed, yet Eiji cannot recall a thing. The situation takes a dire turn when a magazine writer exposes Eiji's deepest secret in front of Kyouka: he is the son of a serial killer. As his life is thrown into a spiral of disarray, he embarks on a journey to resolve the mess of the last three days and get Kyouka to accept his past. the reveal of DID really did bring it down. I feel as though there are many better ways to utilize the core components of DID in a fictional story. The story follows Eiji Urashima, a young college student who seems to have nothing going for him. With no girlfriend, he hangs out with a group of unsuccessful friends and is hated by almost everyone due to his status as the son of a serial killer. One morning, he wakes up next to a woman and realizes he has lost the memory of the past three

The all story to me never missed anything. I expected things and it was met. and after that they kept increasing and it was never met with dissatisfaction. comes to complete the overall emotions you could feel toward a story, a world and make it dear to your heart, memorable. Though I enjoyed discovering the many plot (twists) which fabricated the story...I feel like there's this little something which can't make me fully enjoy it. However, I think the author did a bit too much near the late middle to the end. My biggest complaint was reintroducing a character we hadn't seen in a while & giving them plot critical actions. It was done purely to move the story along and the character's reasoning doesn't make sense at that point considering the circumstances. In addition, some of the events through the story also feel this way. They seemed improbable even with the premise of this story and while I think Eiji's character was good, Rei felt like a convenient plot device and a soundboard for when the author wanted to do a little exposition. Also, everything and everyone were a little too neatly connected. The way the plot resolves connects to this though.

The art is amazing, the facial expressions, the way they vocalise sound effects and the sense of danger it all captures every emotion you'll feel while watching an action movie or listening to an Opera about an abandoned cat in the rain. typical shits but not those kind of chibi and some not serious stuff. As you read it, the art became nowadays not only is a good means of entertainment that is good for your mental health but also save much on the insanity of their characters and lose sight of what makes this whole genre so damn interesting in the first place, the tactics with which these characters interact with each other. It’s the psychological traps and mind games that are going on behind the scenes that enrapture my imagination, I don’t give two shits about how insane a character unless it plays a genuine role in the deductive reasoning of it all. So many of these series, such as "Dokuzakura", "Juujika no Rokunin", and "Happy Sugar Life" fail to capture the level of intricacy created within this series and that’s what sets this apart! Characters are not crazy just for the purpose of being crazy, almost everything feels like it solidly builds up to everything else and the plot twists keep you invested the entire time.

This has to be one of, if not the best high-stakes murder mystery manga out there! From beginning to end the whole ride was nothing but thoroughly thrilling and energetically enticing. Damn, this shit’s even got me speaking in alliteration, that’s just how epic it was! Obvious maybe. Malice Aforethought on the other with the execution and pure amount of plot twists it had me on my knees begging for more. For whatever will come next. and I wasn't disappointed. All the way, and I mean "All the way" till the end of the story I wasn't dissatisfied. I definitely recommend this if you like a lot of unexpected twist, There is some gore throughout and this story basically starts out on showing a murdered body since this story would he nothing if the police did not find that woman’s body.The professionalism of the story maybe gets its own point on the "personal enjoyment of the reader"; what I mean is, for sure, characters are interesting with their many personal stories which create emotions to the reader...but still I find it hard to really appreciate one character, this little je ne sais quoi which

I like that the art doesn't shy away from the darkness of the story. I like the semi-realistic art of it. I don't really critique much about the art but I like it, I wish though that U Eiji and H Eiji have a distinct art to them like the fashion choices for example, so that the readers can clue in more who is U Eiji and H Eiji. I got curious and thought up a story, MC has it. a serial killer is on the loose turns out is our mc's other personality. Generic perhaps. The manga's artistic style is stunning. The characters can be charming, elegant, and carefree, but in an instant, they can become terrifying, evoking visceral reactions. The artwork has the power to transform a character, giving them a morbid complexion and stripping away their charm. Each character has their own distinctive artistic style, whether it's carefree, mysterious, strong, or resentful. It is rare to find a manga with such distinctive character designs. There's a fine line between a work of good psychological intrigue and pure doggone hogwash. It's not easy developing such a complex structure while also mapping a perfect plan through which to deliver it to the reader, but this manga executed that amazingly. My only gripe with it is that it’s a little too long. I appreciate the elaborate detail, but when it comes to thrillers I prefer that they don’t indulge in certain story arcs for longer than they need to. This is something that I was disappointed about when I read "Death Note", I felt that after a certain point it didn’t need to go on for longer. Regarding this manga specifically though, I’m talking about the whole arc with Skall and Yashiro Sai that was towards the beginning. That’s just my opinion though, and at the end of the day this was a magnificent read. If you’re one of those people who care much more about the ending, don’t worry this manga pretty much handled it perfectly! In November 2020, Kodansha USA announced that they licensed the series for English publication. [6] Volume list [ edit ] No.

Plus, even if all the characters are needed to create the story picture, some feels underdevelopped, leaving them to be there as "super useful but...yeah...why are they really here?"...still I get it...so I don't know how to really feels toward this problem I find haha...this is the reason I put a 8 to this manga, personal curiosity prevailing.

People say that perfect mangas don't exist that's why they don't give anything a 10, but I follow the idea that if a manga does anything beyond what I expected from this medium of art then it has pushed the boundaries of what manga as an entertainment medium can achieve with the story, and this manga does this with being one of the most cleverly written plots and characters with genuinely horrifying art in the best moments.
