If you ever read - and loved! - Killing Stalking, Black Butler, Death Note, anything written by G. Streator, or the Gentleman Demon series by Jasper Black, then this is for you. This reminds me of all those stories, and then pushes the boundaries a little further. In fact, the closest thing I can think of to this story is the Gentleman Demon series, which I HIGHLY recommend to anyone who enjoys this.

It's dark.
It's twisted.
It's funny.
It's sexy.
It's obscure.
It's disturbing.
And the MC is a twisted little shit you can't help but connect with.

There are some trigger elements : dub-con, violence, graphic violence, twisted violence. You get the point.

At first, I wasn't overly keen on the art, but it actually fitted the story and the unusual elements. The MC is Matoko, a young man (age not definitive, though he appears childlike at some times but older in other panels) who is in high school with a sick and twisted kink. He wants to eat demons. In fact, he gets off on the idea of it. So, he summons one and makes a bargain - his life, in return for being allowed to eat the demon, without it dying. And thus begins a 1 month confinement for a demon called J, who happens to be an Archduke of Hell. VERY well respected and powerful. J takes a shine to Mato and when his kink is satisfied, J takes Mato to hell to become their pet. It's a strange, but endearing relationship of dependence and affection, but also has sexual elements and power dynamics.

The story is...as you just saw...pretty unexplainable. You just have to read it. If you don't mind the triggers I mentioned, READ IT. You won't regret it. It's one of those that grows on you.

(Then go read Jasper Black, because you won't regret that, either.)

Ich habe Madk jetzt schon mehrere male gelesen (die ersten zwei Bände da Band drei zum Zeitpunkt dieser Rezension noch nicht auf Englisch oder Deutsch verfügbar ist), und ich muss sagen das es definitiv einer meiner Lieblings Manga ist.

Er ist definitiv.... sagen wir speziell, er ist sehr abstrakt, brutal und hat sich die 18+ Warnung definitiv verdient.

Wenn sie z.B. auf Amazon mehr Bilder des Manga angucken mehr spezifisch die Bilder der Rückseite angucken sehen sie 3🔥/4🔥 mit einer 18+ Warnung und einem "Stempel" der unzensiert sagt, was sie vielleicht glauben lassen würde das dieses eine hoch erotische Geschichte ist, dessen ich leider nicht zustimmen könnte. Verstehen sie mich bitte nicht falsch, es geht um sehr viel Sex, aber nicht in einem Sinnlichen Kontext. Wenn man Erotika ließt geht man oft davon aus (auch wenn die Geschichte sehr dunkel ist) das... gewisse Gefühle von der Geschichte ausgelöst werden was meiner Meinung nach hier nicht der Fall ist, oder zumindest nicht das worum die Geschichte zum größten Teil handelt. Auch der unzensiert "Stempel" würde einen erwarten lassen das man mehrere Genitalien sieht, dieses ist aber nicht wirklich der Fall.

Ich kann nicht wirklich viel mehr hierzu sagen, ich Liebe dieses Geschichte bis jetzt sehr, ich bin leider aber nicht gut darin sie Attraktiv darzustellen. Ich werde am Schluss noch ein paar wichtige Trigger-Warnungen aufzählen da diese Geschichte sie meiner Meinung sehr braucht, aber falls diese ihnen nicht ausmachen und sie gerne eine höchst interessante, einzigartige und dunkle Geschichte mit wunderschönen Zeichnungen lesen möchten würde ich ihnen Madk sehr zu Herzen legen, vorallem da es eine sehr kurze Geschichte mit nur drei Bänden ist.




Trigger-Warnungen: 

•Kannibalismus
•Gore
•Bodyhorror
•zwangs Prostitution
•Vergewaltigung 
•Monster-Sex

Manga maledettamente strano a tratti è quasi disturbante ma è proprio questo che lo rende molto bello.
La trama sembra essere buona e i disegni sono fatti molto bene

Oh I am 100% this kind of fucked-up. This is a deliciously visceral book. And honestly, the sexual aspect of it wasn't even the largest part of the story (though the few sexy bits that are there are plenty enough to whet the appetite) -- the story itself is really intriguing, and I can't wait to read more.

This is potentially the weirdest thing I have ever read. The art is beautiful, and I tend not to kink shame, but eating demon guts is a little much for me.

I will definitely continue to read the series though. It’s the most unique concept I’ve ever seen for a manga.
