My Dearest Self With Malice Aforethought Vol. 1

Product Information

However, the main issue with the work is that the story reaches its peak as early as the fourth volume. However, after a turning point in the story that abandons plenty of the set up elements that came beforehand, the tale turns into a thriller in which anyone could betray the protagonist at any point, and everybody has a secret to hide.

Thankfully, the MC isnt your typical horny guy but someone who actually is likeable and enjoyable to read about. While all the characters receive development and have deep connections, these connections become increasingly forced, less organic, and contrived (although still enjoyable to read). The use of real mental illness in media and entertainment is a tricky thing to portray and the way DID is portrayed in this particular manga makes me extremely uncomfortable to say the least.

This manga, although exhilarating and masterfully written, doesn't make me connect to the characters that much, doesn't envoke heavy emotions, realizations or profound thoughts like some other masterpieces do.

I like how the theme of the story was explained in the end and that it really connects with the title. I don’t mean from the authors as they are doing an incredible work; but for the real LL in the manga that decided to do it only for the tattoo! Our protagonist is a college-age kid devoted to man’s one duty: that of sticking his penis in as many wet holes as possible. Also another thing to mention, the plot is a bit incoherent at times since the story is a bit fast paced and it has some time skips and flashbacks to create a deeper understanding of each character. It seems strange for it to be all a 10 but I'm not the kind of persons who criticizes like "the art is good,but sometimes lacky when you look at a background" or "it's the same concept of story as many other mangas that are better than this",I just want to say that reading this manga means you will be hyped to read every new chapter and say "i feel bad that I have to stop now".

While mostly fine, there are a few instances where elements of the mystery are blatantly shoehorned in to explain the desired ending.

I love psychological manga and this was one of the greatest pyscological manga, along with Blood on the tracks, monster, and pun pun. 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. But, for sure this story is worth reading, well played, well written with a semi realistic style which comes to complete it quite greatly. The puzzle's final image is, unfortunately, not as refined as it should have been, mostly by virtue of its first half. The rating of 8 given to the manga may be slightly high, but the third volume's plot twist and the fourth volume's storyline deserve praise for the chilling reactions they elicit.

Overall, it's really hard to give this story review without spoiling anything, but it's definitely top tier. When he finally realizes the "malice" concealed in his body, he becomes entangled in a disatrous tragedy. 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.
