The link above talks about the recent rumors of KS getting adapted to anime. Since this is a pretty controversial series, I want to know how y'all feel about this. Nothing is set in stone yet, but what's your opinions on KS being animated?
As long as people treat it as a psychological thriller/horror and nothing more. The relationship/story isn't meant to romanticised at all. It definitely isn't supposed to be boy love. 2 reply
It's not a good idea.
I feel that KS is generally a bad piece of fiction, because it feeds off on pain and torture of gay men. The comic is literally about a mentally unwell boy who is kidnapped, abused and raped multiple times.

While I'm hoping it'll be a good adaptation, am certainly hoping it won't stain our community into a different light (as bad as it already is ffs), as it will bring even a lot more exposure to the general weeb community. I wouldn't say I'm completely thrilled to have Killing Stalking adapted to an anime either. There are a lot, and I mean TONS of o...... reply
I personally do not think its a good idea. after reading the story, its clear that their relationships are realy abusive and toxic. I dotn get how some people ship both sangwoo and yoonbum. Their relationship is really unhealthy but that is just my opinion. 1 reply
