The day we stop categorising MADK as a bl is the day we can start to appreciate it as the horror/mystery it is

 I went into this blind, which in retrospect was a choice fairly consistent with me - a person who doesn’t love horror but sat down to watch Midori alone and contextless.

It’s interesting and did make me want to seek out volume 2, even keeping all of the fairly extreme elements in mind. This is a story where someone loses their virginity via entrail sex so if that is something that is a hard no for you, totally understandable.

The story feels largely secondary to the visuals and I’m interested to see how that is handled in the second volume.

  • MadK starts off slowly, borderline annoyingly so, yet it quickly picks up. There are no good people in this story, where you don't particularly want to 'root' for any character yet the story seemingly forces you to do so. No heroes, just sick creatures doing sick things. I appreciate an ero-guro book without the author romanticizing the characters nor their actions.
    The only somewhat redeemable character is tortured by Makoto in their dying days and the other is K, J's older brother, whom is also killed by Makoto.
    It's depressing but that's what I'm reading it for. The art can be difficult to follow therefore requiring to really pay attention to not only the stunning work of art of this but consequently to fully comprehend the horrors that happen.
