This ended up being a great duology. It's both quiet and intense, as Asako's condition is brutal, but also offset by the tenderness of Kuroiwa's love.
This volume wrapped up the central mystery, and provided healing for our leads to understand both their grief and affection, and finally move on together.
I still have mixed feelings on the art; I wouldn't call it pretty though at times it is beautiful. I think it works well in this story though, both sparse and heavy when needed.
Overall, this was written very well, and I'd love to see more creative BLs such as this one.

Bref, « Stigmata : les empreintes de la passion » me laisse perplexe. J’ai été quelque peu rebutée par les dessins trop froids et pourtant j’y ai trouvé beaucoup de sensualité par moment. L’enquête n’était pas très poussée et servait plutôt de prétexte pour le développement des personnages principaux. J’ai par contre, aimé l’aspect psychologique du mangas même si l’évolution d’Asako et Kuroiwa est maladroite par certains côtés. Le final nous montre, lui, un respect et une maturité qui fait plaisir à voir dans une relation.
Je ne suis pas sûre que mon avis vous aidera à savoir si c’est un mangas à lire ou non. J’ai eu des sentiments si partagés tout au long de ma lecture que je saurais bien incapable de vous dire si j’ai aimé ou détesté… Probablement un peu des deux.

tw - mort, sang, meurtre
rep - mlm
second et dernier volume.. et quel volume !!
Hidebu Takahashi-sensei devient une mangaka que je lirai automatiquement. instant read/buy.
l'enquête continue et on approche enfin vers une conclusion, qui a tué Mari-san.. est-ce que ce rapprochement entre nos deux enquêteurs est dû aux sentiments de Mari ou il y a un shift dans la relation de nos personnages principaux..?
la conclusion était belle. le dessin ajoutait à l'univers, l'atmosphère et l'aura du manga. c'était beau.
je m'en vais lire les autres mangas de cette mangaka. je pense qu'elle ne me décevra jamais.

Hmmm I'm not really sure how I feel about this ending??
I liked the twist with the case. Of course the doofus ex husband would mistake someone else for his ex wife. -insert eye roll -
But the love line threw me off. We already knew Asako had feelings for Hiroto and was confused due to Maris feelings being inside him, but Hiroto came out of left field confessing his love and then jumping to sex. Like damn, can you not take him on a date first?
Overall, I found the premise really interesting and would've loved to see Asako solve other cases with his abilities. Although I'm happy for them, I just couldn't believe the relationship bit as much.
Randomly, the scene of the cop staring with wide eyes was hilarious, considering the two were upstairs embracing. I'm not sure if it was intentional but the wide eyed look cracked me up.
Thanks to the publisher for the DRC!

Look, some of the supernatural and investigatory parts still don't make a ton of logical sense, but I don't care, because I enjoyed this very much. And it's oddly funny, considering the subject matter?
The investigation gets wrapped up fairly quickly, once they identify another person of interest / potentially a second victim, and follow those threads to the culprit. I liked how we do see the importance of the partnership between Asako and Kuroiwa, and how they fill in each other's gaps.
Asako feels useless because he's not really doing any actual detective work, nor are his visions permissible in court. But Kuroiwa points out that he wouldn't even know where to begin if Asako wasn't guiding him in the right direction. It's his role to take what Asako tells him about the crime scene and the victim's memories, then to piece together something that can lead to an arrest and effective prosecution. They both fulfill important roles, and they truly need each other.
I also liked the gradual development of Kuroiwa's feelings. They do feel natural to me, although near the end, I did sort of expect a conversation about whether Asako was projecting Kuroiwa's ex-wife's feelings onto him. Kuroiwa is clear that he isn't seeing Asako as a replacement for his first love - he's a second and equally important love - but if they are going to have a conversation about Asako's sex dreams, they'd want to clear up those bits.
The resolution of their workplace dynamic was funny, too, and surprisingly well-handled. Kuroiwa was entirely honest...a bit too honest...with his boss, who sat with all the information before making his decision about whether to approve Kuroiwa's transfer request. And it was a good solution. When he asked for the request, I was thinking...okay, but how can he abandon Asako like that? No one else is going to be able to handle his visions and his hospital stays and everything that goes into having a supernatural partner.
Which, ultimately, is what the higher-up decision was as well. Traditional rules about dating one's coworker don't matter all that much in a ridiculously unusual situation such as this. It's important to maintain their partnership, and it doesn't particularly matter what the two of them do at home.
A bit fast-paced at the end, but sweet and funny and affectionate despite all that. I definitely wouldn't mind reading more of Takahashi's BL. It's a bit strange but very funny and heartwarming even with all the blood. And I ended up really loving the art.

J'ai bien aimé le côté BL, mais l'enquête m'a un peu déçue, j'ai trouvé la conclusion un peu trop hâtive. Les dessins sont toujours beaux et très particuliers.
TW : scènes de sexe très explicites.

Cette lecture me laisse perplexe.
J’y ai trouvé beaucoup de sensualité par moments, mais la façon dont elle était amenée pouvait parfois avoir un côté assez troublant, à la fois dans le dessin et l’histoire. Les lignes sont très belles et organiques, les positions des corps (tout du long, je ne parle pas spécifiquement des scènes de sexe) sont réalistes et naturelles ; mais je n’ai pas pu m’empêcher de sentir quelque chose de froid, dans les expressions toujours tourmentées des personnages mais aussi dans le concept forcément un peu glauque (un jeune homme qui subit les traumatismes physiques et psychologiques de personnes vi*lées et/ou assassinées, c’est violent). J’ai cependant ressenti un détachement émotionnel des personnages par rapport à cette violence, sans pour autant me sembler être une négligence de l’autrice. Cela donne un côté éthéré et étrange au manga, plus léger et moins violent aussi, que je ne saurais qualifier complètement d’agréable ou de désagréable. J’ai trouvé que ça avait un intérêt pour l’ambiance poétique et sensuelle, mais ça m’a aussi mise mal à l’aise que quelque chose d’aussi fort soit relégué à l’arrière-plan de l’histoire d’amour.
La naissance de la romance entre les personnages manque aussi un peu de naturel, mais elle prend un aspect très mature et respectueux à la fin, ce qui a compensé pour moi un peu de ce que je trouvais glauque. J’ai beaucoup apprécié cela.
Voilà pourquoi je suis mitigée… Un titre bien difficile à noter !

Continuem la trama de スティグマタ─聖痕捜査─ Stigmata ─Stigmata Investigation─ , però en aquests dos volums només s'investiga un crim: l'assassinat de l'exdona del detectiu. Molt interessant la dualitat i l'ambigüitat de sentiments que ens planteja el fet que l'Asako tingui accés a la consciència de la difunta, perquè indubtablement es planteja si els sentiments que experimenta són seus o de l'exdona. Genialíssim el monòleg del detectiu sobre la bisexualitat i la pansexualitat, però no puc evitar pensar que està col·locat una mica amb calçador (només veient la resposta del cap queda clar i hauria encaixat molt millor en una conversa amb l'Asako). El final bastant abrupte, amb el desenllaç de la trama romàntica resolt en un parell de pàgines, poques línies de diàleg i les escenes hot que no estan a l'altura (com pot ser que els somnis de l'exdona fossin més suggerents que la realitat???). La narració té un ritme trepidant, però en els moments clau és assossegat i es complementa de meravella amb les fantàstiques il·lustracions ♥ Entre el 4 i el 4,5

"No you're not in anyone's spiritual remains, but... you can be in my arms, if you like." is a hell of a pick up line.
Lmfao I love the representation. Kuroiwa really said I thought I was straight, but I was probably bisexual all along, but I could be pansexual. He's still figuring it out and I love that for him. And all of this was said to the police chief and man said uh okay... I don't care about your orientation. But go be gay and be happy, I guess. I wasn't expecting this to be so funny.
This was the kind of mystery where you're not going to guess the culprit, but it was still interesting to follow. I wasn't that invested in it, though, so I didn't love how most of the volume was about this mystery. I care more about the romance and the ghost stuff. I feel like Kuroiwa falling for Asako seemed kind of quick and out of no where, but it's fine. It was still cute. I had a great time with this.

Actual rating 3⭐️
After the first volume of this it had me quite intrigued. I found the thought of a detective who can see the last thoughts of murder victims very interesting. While he is investigating the murder of his bosses late wife he gets possessed by her ghost, and is unsure if the feeling he is feeling is his own or the ghost.
The story had a unique blocky art style that helped the atmosphere. As the story continues the mystery wraps up fairly quickly, and the murder wasn’t even anyone we had met previously. It felt like it could have used the last two chapter to help flesh out the mystery. Instead it is dedicated to love that has formed between the two detectives, which would be more impactful if the romance was more engaging. The romance itself is fine, if not a little it of the blue, but it’s passable.
Overall intriguing plot that is too rushed at the end. Along with a very by the numbers romance makes a Ok story.

April 2, 2025the first thing that drew me towards stigmata was the artstyle, which is arguably one which you don't see a lot in manga – i walked away glad. i found the way the author draws blood really interesting, it's very artistic. the way it's portrayed in stigmata is also,, for lack of a better word, dramatic.. just the perfect amount of dramatic, given the themes.
i think the author did a superb job within the span of chapters we were provided. with short manga that have romance at the core, there's so many cases where i walk away not understanding how and when and how the characters fell in love, but stigmata handled it well.. i didn't really have to suspend my disbelief, it really did feel gradual – or, rather, it felt like the beginnings of sort were sort of there since the start.
anyway. love stigmata. it was really unique, and asako is... hdbfbbn god i just think he deserves the world

Pues me ha gustado mucho en general. Es verdad que con sensei siempre siento que las relaciones amorosas no acaban de desarrollarse bien y que no acaba de tratarlas de una forma en la que yo me crea dicho enamoramiento entre los protagonistas. Lo que más me ha gustado es el toque sobrenatural que no hace que sea un manga más.

i'm literally never going to find another bl series this fucking good. you guys. they talked about consent, boundaries, and had a healthy communicative relationship. and the main character said out loud with his whole words that he was bisexual. there's never going to be a yaoi like this one ever again

Vol. 1 ★★☆☆☆
Honestly, I'm disappointed. Both the mystery and the romance are half-baked. It's not like I expected something elaborate from a two volumes long story, but I don't buy into the relationship. Asako having feelings for Kuroiwa makes sense, but the other way around? The mangaka doesn't even try to make it convincing.

I am in love with these characters and these two books. This series is amazing and the special ability is so unique. I hope that it gets a sequel series of just random investigations because it’s so unique. It’ll also be cool to learn more about the main characters asako and his past. I definitely recommend if you like detective stories with extra.

Je sais pas vraiment si j'ai bien aimé ou pas, la fin était très hâtive et il y a quelques scènes qui me rendait perplexe, mais au moins la relation entre les 2 persos principaux se faisait dans le respect et c'était agréable à lire!!

Wow… you don’t say those kinds of things… that hurts / he’s trying to remedy his past mistakes / the romance starts 👀 / if you want to then go and wrap your arms around him / a bloody kiss is better than no kiss / good big boss / love and blood make a good combo

Avant lecture : Le synopsis me tente mais j'ai un peu peur que 2 tomes, ce ne soit pas assez pour que j'accroche, à voir. J'aime bien l'idée du pouvoir du perso principal.
Après lecture : Je m'attendais à un style de dessin assez doux vis à vis des couvertures. Le style était plus "brut" que ce que je pensais. Ça m'a pas spécialement dérangée tho.
La romance était sympa. J'avais de l'appréhension concernant le lien entre Mari et Asako mais in fine c'était plutôt bien géré de ce côté là. Le "you're not in anyone's lingering thoughts, you're in my arms" c'était vraiment mimi.
En revanche, l'enquête m'a pas mal déçue. J'aurais préféré que le manga soit un peu plus long pour la développer un peu plus, y'a certains trucs (surtout l'introduction d'un personnage clef pour l'enquête) je sais pas si l'autrice a pris cette direction là parce qu'elle était limitée au niveau de la longueur du manga ou quoi mais j'ai trouvé ça meh et j'ai l'impression que ça a été un peu rushé.
Ça m'a donné envie de découvrir d'autres œuvres de l'autrice, je pense que je lirais le Cèdre et la Neige!

I wanted to like this more since it’s a fan-favorite, but it didn’t really move me. I found it very slow/tedious, and I didn’t find the relationship progression believable. Plus, I’m just not into police procedural stuff.

The art work is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!
Also, the kid’s powers are interesting, I would’ve loved to see more cases solved using his powers. On the other hand, this little duology is short and sweet….. (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

Great conclusion to the first volume. I love this mangaka's art style; it's so unique and jarringly beautiful, lending itself perfectly to the genre. I'm hoping the first series is released in English, too!

A psychological crime drama with a unique art style and premise.
Officer Minami Asako, part of a special investigations unit in Tokyo, has a unique ability that allows him to resonate with the residual thoughts of murder victims. This ability also allows him to experience the victim's last moments, including their murder. He uses this ability to help solve these murders with his superior, Detective Hiroto Kuroiwa.
In this volume we continue on with the investigation of Kuroiwa's ex-wife's murder. With the help of Asako's ability, the case is solved and we move on to the future of Asako and Kuroiwa's partnership, at work as well as outside of work.
There is something really beautiful about this story. A lot of it is so understated that I didn't even realize I was so emotionally invested until I got teary eyed at the confession. It really snuck up on me. I'm really glad I gave it a chance.

While this was a very good and intense series, I was a bit confused on the romance between the characters. I could see things being hinted at but I’m not sure where it became something that both felt naturally; not to say I don’t ship them but I think the romantic subplot wasn’t handled too well for the story being only 2 volume.
Another reason I would’ve liked for this series to be a bit longer is to see more background information on each character. Overall though, I did enjoy reading it.
