Iyagateru Kimi ga Suki or I Like You With That Look of Repulsion by Oniyama Mizuki. It is one of the more interesting works I've managed to read. It's about a high school girl, Shirakawa Mikoto, looking for a boyfriend to show off to, and then getting confessed to by Otsuki Makoto, who isn't exactly her type, but she agrees anyway and ends up coming across many strange and almost horrific things along the way. It is a manga definitely not for the light of heart and makes you wonder why you're even reading it, but if you're looking for something to make you extremely uncomfortable or even question at the end, this is the one.
I found this manga when going through male yandere works I can go through because I have found that it was my type, but oh boy, maybe I should of sticked into a more calm lane. The art style gives me retro anime vibes, and so I was like, "This looks cool, why not?" I would later regret this decision, yet I don't know why, why I even finished it. I felt like if Shirakawa were to use her head, the situations that she is being put into, she wouldn't end up messed up or even dead in the end. Like they even did it near a homeless shelter!?!? Now it's been a while, and I have no idea what her family situation was, but she did react extremely uncomfortably, and all she had to do was say no to his confession. *sighs* I will say the artstyle is so pretty, but the manga is absolute garbage. Well, not really if you wanted to be extremely disgusted, which I think is the main focus. Can I just point out, though, a site's literal description is this: This is a raunchy, heart-pounding love story. Expect goosebumps and some doki doki action on the side.
I was completely expecting a bit of cute romance or even a much more tamer romance, yet I was completely fooled. The whole manga feels like a horror story that I would never wish on my worst enemy. She even continues to stay in these abusive relationships after breaking up with the damn man. Like, girl, get therapy. The man still calls her his girlfriend after breaking up, like dude, go to therapy as well. Like, is it bad that I don't completely hate him? He was abused and had to eat dog food, but he was quite awful, so I sort of hate him as well. I hate every character, to be honest, there is not a single likable one. I kind of forgot the owner of the houses' main purpose. That owner seriously needs jail, though; he is sort of the problem why this dumpster of a situation was brought on Shirakawa.
Anyways I did not have much fun with this manga, even though I finished it. It's terrifying thinking of it in real life, and that's what I enjoy somehow. I just think I should not have read it, but I am glad I gave it a try, though. Yeah, if you enjoy bad endings and disgusting stuff, you should give this one a try; it will definitely ick you. I know there may be worse stuff out there, but this took it for me. Also, I may not have gone thoroughly into this because I had read this a while back and do not wish to read it again, so I apologize. Thank you for reading through.
5/10
