This idea of a male protagonist fighting his urge to kill his love interest is nothing new in anime/manga. Here we have the same trope, but it takes center stage. This guy wants to kill the cutest girl in school, but he also wants her to live. So this cognitive dissonance is at the heart of the story, and what it might represent is admirable. I have just seen it so many times. seseorang yang terjangkit bloodlust memiliki kekuatan 2x lebih kuat daripada manusia normal. karakteristik dari kekuatannya berbeda tergantung dengan keahlian dan situasi. kamishiro bukan superhero, karena yang dipikirkannya hanya niat membunuh. tapi ketika keadaan berubah menjadi pelik, kamishiro berbalik menggunakan kekuatannya untuk kebaikan meskipun mungkin saja keputusannya sia-sia oleh twist yang surealis serta berdarah-darah. First of all, I'd have to say that the story is very and I mean very reminiscent of ''Alive'', another manga which has a Vol.4 Chapter 11: Organization #11 - Vol.4 Chapter 11: Organization 10-28-2020 #11 - Vol.4 Chapter 11: Organization

Kamishiro, the protagonist, has an okay introduction. We are supposed to see him as kind of a weird, weak, and scaredy guy. He is afraid of confessing, he likes cleaning a lot and might be pushed around but he is the janitor of his class. He is also seen as timid in comparison to his best friend and love interest, Hanazono. Vol.1 Chapter 2: Isolation #2 - Vol.1 Chapter 2: Isolation 10-28-2020 #2 - Vol.1 Chapter 2: Isolation Character development: I don't think we ever saw any development. I guess the glasses guy learnt to forgive the one who hurt his love and to control his bloodlust, and the girl was starting to leave his ex behind and started loving the protagonist. Is it really a spoiler? It's obvious the second time we see her. Vol.5 Chapter 15: Bloody Battle #15 - Vol.5 Chapter 15: Bloody Battle 10-28-2020 #15 - Vol.5 Chapter 15: Bloody Battle

The main character, Kamishiro, is in love with his childhood friend. He becomes infected with a disease which causes a person to have the uncontrollable urge to kill the one they love. The rest of the manga follows Kamishiro's journey, which I won't say any more about because that would definitely count as real spoilers. Questo primo volume è... fatto male, posso capire che dare fin da subito spiegazioni su cosa, come e quando sia rischioso per la trama e impossibile, se tutti sapessimo fin dalla prima pagina chi è l'assassino in un giallo non leggeremmo mai il libro (forse) ma per lo meno sarebbe bello avere spunti intriganti per continuare la lettura, avere personaggi carismatici e interessanti da seguire e vicende curiose da scoprire invece ci ritroviamo con cose a caso e zerbini ambulanti. Now I'm gonna talk about protagonist, members of his team, members of the enemy team, and lastly, love interest and Mastermind. Most of these guys appear after chapter 10 so watch out for that, I guess? It came out really long, so I will do a TL;DR at the bottom.

Vol.7 Chapter 21: Lunatic #21 - Vol.7 Chapter 21: Lunatic 10-28-2020 #21 - Vol.7 Chapter 21: Lunatic Character development: He gets some development, but it feels like it comes out of nowhere. After chapter 10, aka only a 1 month timeskip, he is suddenly more serious, not scared by anything at all, nor is he afraid of confrontation. He now believes in the "power of love" and friendship and basically becomes way more average of a protagonist than before. If I recall correctly, we only see him cleaning like three times (even when that used to be his main character trait), so he even lost that. In other cases, the female can be killed again and again, so the male impulse to kill can be satiated while the female gets to live, or grow stronger (Tomie). It starts with a young guy who is meant to be seen as a freak, since he is obsessive with cleaning. We see him around school, trying to confess to his childhood friend who everyone loves too! Either way, after some time, he realises that his love has turned into... bloodlust?! What?! Just after that, Hanazono dissapears. After her leave，he joins the organisation and teams up with three ID infectees that try to overcome their blood lust: Akito Nishihashi, Ryouko Etou, and Tatsuya Kawamura. His objective is finding Hanozono and kill her.

School Life

Character... Fair I guess. Nothing special. Pretty much like every other main hero. Lame and bland high school student with a obsessive trait. It's sorta like, you know who everyone is before they are properly introduced. Not a bad thing really, but as you know what to expect, the character development (where there is a pretty good one) becomes poof. It loses it's meaning. In many cases, the trope involves the female character wanting the male to kill her, but the guy can’t deliver (Urotaukidoji, Gundam Wing). Vol.5 Chapter 13: Opening #13 - Vol.5 Chapter 13: Opening 10-28-2020 #13 - Vol.5 Chapter 13: Opening

Per questi motivi... mi sacrificherò e continuerò a leggere nonostante tutto, sperando in un miracolo. Vol.8 Chapter 26: Accomplices #26 - Vol.8 Chapter 26: Accomplices 10-28-2020 #26 - Vol.8 Chapter 26: Accomplices We also have the theme of death aesthetic going on. Some of the earlier seasons of America’s Next Top Model featured women being photographed like they were dead. Painted to look pretty in a tub of blood, or looking hot while drying on the sun-bleached pavement. It was weird, but apparently there’s a market for it 🤷🏻‍♀️Vol.6 Chapter 19: Chance Meeting #19 - Vol.6 Chapter 19: Chance Meeting 10-28-2020 #19 - Vol.6 Chapter 19: Chance Meeting Of course, our protagonist only wants to kill her because he’s infected. This takes the “burden” of agency out of the equation, and makes the story seem indulgent a bit in a weird ass incel fantasy. Character Design: Just like Kamishiro, Average face, average weight, average personality. She has blonde, medium lenght hair. That's.. what else can I possibly say? 3/10 Basic lay-it-down-to-me plot of both titles (possible spoilers)... The nation one day becomes infected with a strange disease, where everyone starts dying or killing each other on mass. Main character somehow overcomes the disease to some degree, lose the girl and goes on a journey to become stronger fighting off strange organizations. I just started vol. 2, and I’m getting the feeling this is going to be a Cain/Abel out of Sandman dynamic, where the girl can regenerate and sometimes lets the protagonist kill her 🤦‍♂️
