About the author
Moto Hagio
222 books226 followersMoto Hagio (萩尾望都 Hagio Moto) is a manga artist born in Ōmuta, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, though she currently lives in Saitama Prefecture.
She is considered a "founding mother" of modern shōjo manga, and a member of the Year 24 Group (24-Gumi). She helped pioneer modern shōjo manga, modern science fiction manga, and BL manga. In addition to being an "industry pioneer", her body of work "shows a maturity, depth and personal vision found only in the finest of creative artists". She has been described as "the most beloved shōjo manga artist of all time."
Moto Hagio made her professional debut in 1969 at the age of 20 with her short story Lulu to Mimi on Kodansha's magazine Nakayoshi. Later she produced a series of short stories for various magazines for Shogakukan.
Two years after her debut, she published Juichigatsu no Gimunajiumu (The November Gymnasium), a short story which dealt openly with love between two boys at a boarding school. The story was part of a larger movement by female manga artists at the time which pioneered a genre of girls' comics about love between young men.
In 1974, Hagio developed this story into the longer Toma no shinzo (The Heart of Thomas). She was awarded the Shogakukan Manga Award in 1976 for her science fiction classic Juichinin iru! (They Were Eleven) and her epic tale Poe no ichizoku (The Poe Family).

Jeremy was once again pushed to the brink of insanity. And this time by Ian. I am angry at Ian. He had no right to force Jeremy to relive this dark past. Not like he is a professional and able to help out by doing so. He is just making matter worst and being selfish and cruel. And he had the gall to blame Jeremy when shit hits the ceiling!
Because of Ian's meddling another tragedy happened. Jeremy then felt certain he has to face his inner demon to come out safely from the dark labyrinth of Rin Forest. I hope he wins this battle and slay that devil to pieces for real this time and get the peace and quiet he deserves.

Why do they even want to deal with Ian, because he looks good? Abusive, cannot control his own impulses even though he really should around a victim, victim blaming... And that one therapy session a week is not helping at all. How about some strategies how to deal with what happened? Or let the therapist at least have an idea about what was going on? I'm sure her approach would have changed dramatically.

This pattern of Jeremy being blamed for everything is starting to become very irritating.
How was he supposed to know that Marjorie's cousin Pascal was drug addicted and violent?
All he wanted to do was visit his friend.
The constant back and forth about rather Sandra knew what Greg has done to Jeremy is getting tiring.
It was already revealed that she knew and didn't care.
Ian stated that Sandra used her son as bait to keep Greg's attention and for whatever reason Jeremy now wants to believe Natasha and believe Sandra didn't know anything when he witnessed evidence of her knowing what had happened.
Sandra has always been a terrible parent.
Ian already had a suspicion that Greg caused Lilia (Ian and Matt's mother) to die.
He also noticed something was odd about his father's behavior before knowing the reason why Greg was obsessed with Jeremy.
All of this was explained in the first 6 volumes yet the author kept going over the same topics and having the characters denying accusations they already knew were true.
The constant descriptions of what Greg did to Jeremy is unnecessary.
It's exhausting.
I already know what he did I don't need to see images of flashbacks or photos of his past actions over and over again.
Too much of the story arc is wasted on the same arguments without much on-screen progress.
