Quality Dark Drama/Tragedy

Amazing writing, and it hurts so much to read.

Cute and comfortable until the end, where you'll wonder where all the onions suddenly came from.

Starts out light-hearted and cute, but don't let it fool you. Not precisely a 'tragedy', but you'll need a box of tissues at the end anyway.

You can feel the horror of it all creeping up on you as you read more and more. The characters are great in this one.

Really short 2-ch story of the realities of realistic stockholm syndrome, plus a dive into how outward personas hide a real, more f'd up, personality. Also, the two leads are cousins, so be forewarned.

DO NOT READ this if you can't deal with hetero sex/love and/or having multiple partners. This is a heavy but interesting psychological drama of admiration and love, loss and coping, and jealousy and respect. It's dark and ugly at times, but it was never intended to be a happy story.

Read "Bi no Isu" (this one), then "Kobi No Kyoujin", then "Bi No Kyoujin: Smoke" all by the same author. This is a reasonably realistic yakuza series where people get beat down and murdered, with intrigue, plotting, and everything. Plus the two leads are both super hot in different ways, and the bottom is the best sort of yandere. :)

Engaging, with nice art and smut, and a tragic end. It was a well-paced story with no filler, and all the characters were interesting.

Very well written/developed, wheels-within-wheels, dark, psychological drama about f'd up people all conspiring against each other. Happy ending though!

Beware: Tragedy. Also, ignore the rating. This one is well developed. I think many readers saw mc say "I'm your rapist" in ch1 and quit out early without waiting to find out later in the story that it was a lie. Also the cover art isn't really at all like how the story actually goes.
