A thrilling game of cat and mouse, murder and mystery...

As the son of one of the most infamous Yakuza bosses in Japan, Shoto Tanaka's life has been anything but average. Then he meets the most popular athlete in Japan, Goro Nakamura. Goro is used to putting on a show for the public, and since he comes from a family of wealth and notoriety, he's frequently in the limelight. Shoto, like many others, is captivated by his icy charisma.

What Shoto isn't aware of is that Goro is also the infamous 'Animosity Serial Killer' of Japan. In what ways will Goro and Shoto's profound devotion to one another and their various ideologies impact their complex relationship and those around them?

This book contains explicit content and mature themes, including uncensored sex, bondage, violence, gore, and torture. It is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age.

Love this manhwa!
I've been following it for awhile and couldn't wait to support the author. It has trigger warnings on the first page and description, so you shouldn't be surprise and over reacting about what you're getting. It's murder and mystery. Can't wait for the next book!

    First and foremost, please, please, PLEASE, PLEASE heed the trigger warnings! The trigger warnings are there for a reason and if you don't read them and pay attention to them, that's on you. The trigger warnings say very clearly what to expect from the story so there are no surprises. Once you read the TW and make the choice to continue, prepare to be wowed! It is absolutely dark and twisted, we have two main characters who are incredibly disturbed, each in their very particular, painful ways, and yet they compliment each other so well. Shosho is probably one of the saddest characters I've ever read, he's deeply mentally ill, went through horrendous situations in his childhood, and Goro is a star athlete

    and serial killer, ice cold, controlled and controlling, and somehow both are in a MS relationship. Frankly, the first volume was too short! Once I dove into the story, I didn't want to stop! It is fascinating, enthralling and disturbing! I really want to know what happens to these two. It's been a while since I've become obssessed with a story, and this book definitely broke me out of a reading slump. The second volume cannot come out soon enough! I need more Shosho and Goro.

    Ngl, this is dark af and not for the faint of heart. But, it quickly became one of favorite books. Both the mc and ml are broken and traumatized. To see how they love each other, while trying to heal, and deal with their foe is just 🤌🏾.

    I Loveeeee this manga so freaking much. After I finished this book I subscribed to the authors Patreon. The story follows the MC Shoto Tanaka and his dom Goro Nakamura as they deal with you guessed it Love, Murder and Basketball! Goro is a great dom and respects his sub Shoto so much. There are great spicy scenes and even better amazing aftercare! Give it a read its such a great book! just a warning the "lightsabers" are uncensored so don't be alarmed. I cant wait for more volumes to come out so I can get the whole series!

    First off this book is VERY graphic. If you are easily triggered or have trouble reading/seeing about mental illnesses, blood, gore, sexual abuse, murder, child abuse, etc. do NOT get this book. I don't say that to keep anyone from buying it & there are trigger warnings in the authors description. Just letting you know to take that warning seriously. This book is well done despite the subjects dealt within. It will stick with you after reading it, but not in a bad way. It promotes thoughts & gives a look into a world far too many have been touched by. Truthfully I'm still digesting it myself. This is a complex read. There are many complicated relationships going on.

    The main one is that of Goro & Shoto. Goro is seen a bit more in this book than the other characters. He's a tall rich guy from an influential family. That family is controlling and abusive. He's a basketball player, serial killer, sadist, with some type of mental illness as well. There's more to him than that, but you'll have to read this to see. He's in a BDSM relationship with his male partner Shoto. Shoto is a short, waif like, masochist, gamer, and a bit of a loner. He enjoys dressing up in women's clothing & lingerie. He'll do just about anything to make Goro happy. Goro does take good care of Shoto & seems to care for him. Though it may not appear like it until later on in the book. Shoto has some serious childhood trauma. He seems to have possible PTSD, & possibly other mental illness as well. They both have a lot going on in their lives. Their relationship is complex. You can see as the book progresses their love for each other.

    This is well written & most of the artwork is very good. It's done completely in color. Though the content is tough subject matter. It is thought provoking & well handled. It will take a bit to digest. It's worth a read. Give it a look if this is something you think you might like. I'll definitely read other volumes if they exist & other content by the author.

    Has to be my favorite Bl manga I have ever read. I finished it in one sitting the authors have extreme talent. I will be waiting not so patiently for the next volumes to drop. My favorite part though is that fact that the authors showcase the consensual smut, and for the r@pe they heavily imply it without showing anything.

    This comic left me wanting more. I just need to know where this relationship goes, where the beginning ties into it. And everything else! Goodness I loved this comic. But this isn’t for those wanting a heart fluffy time. This is dark and heavy. Read trigger warnings before reading.

    The art was amazingly beautiful and in color, also uncensored. I can’t wait to read the next book whenever it’s coming out.

    This is my first time buying a manga I believe they’re called and I am incredibly impressed.

    I read the story online but I thought it would be really neat to have a physical copy so I got it in pre-order.

    I am 100% getting the next one the pages are thick, the colour is really nice plus there’s bonus pages which is just really cool and it’s uncensored.

    I am looking forward to when the next volume comes out. Let’s see if I can try not to read the rest of it online. I will probably fail because this is a really good story.

    Erstmal bin ich happy das ich es als Buch habe,nicht mehr digital. Mit den Englischen Texten werde ich mich reinfuchsen, kann leider nicht sehr gut Englisch.

    Jetzt zum Negativen Ergebnis,freute mich sehr es zu lesen. Packte es freudig aus und musste schmerzlich feststellen das es den Transfer von Großbritannien bis zu mir nicht gut überstanden hat. Erstens war es NICHT eingeschweißt wie es eigentlich immer war, zweitens sind einige Seiten hässlich geknickt worden und es gibt Abgerissene Seiten. Ist schon traurig wie mit den Büchern beim Verpacken/Versand/Zoll umgegangen wird. Das Buch hat 20€ gekostet für mich ist das sehr viel Geld.

    Wenn das nächste Band rauskommt hoffe ich das es Ganz geliefert wird.

    Wegen dem Kaputten Buch gebe ich nur 3🌟🌟🌟 Sterne.
