EN Things start to go wrong for Reiji.
He’s forced to manage his relationships with all the people he cares about — but the problem is that they, too, begin to realise each other’s presence and the impact each of them has on his life. This leads to conflicts between them, which inevitably end up hurting Reiji.
At the same time, new sides of these characters are revealed — and many of them are surprisingly dark.
An absolutely delightful series to read.

All I want is for Chako to be happy and far away from all these people.

The downward spiral continues.
December 31, 2025
. ♬ ݁˖ … A melancholy town where we never smile.
This series continues its spiraling, downward plight.
I’m genuinely trying to figure out how mangaka Minenami comes up with these absolutely insane situations, managing to make them deeper and darker— but he finds a way every time.
We’re getting to the point where characters and storylines are being intertwined in a dangerous way.
In Vol. 4, I was concerned that my favorite character, Chako, was turning into a different person. I’ve since changed my mind.
Previously, Chako had confronted Nagi.
Now she’s on Ms. Shiba’s ass, and rightfully so.
PLEASE MAKE SURE MY GIRL IS OKAY!
But after Ms. Shiba learns of Chako’s existence (while stalking Reiji)— she comes after Chako in a horrendous way.
Deplorable.
Chako is then thrust into a horrible situation that has affected her at school, at home— and has possibly shattered her friendship with Reiji.
Reiji also learns that Nagi has left town, rejoining Acrylic back in Tokyo.
This prompts him to have some sort of brief breakdown over all of the alternating people and situations in his life— making him realize he does want to die alongside Nagi.
This poor boy is so lost.
A conversation between Esemori and Reiji about Nagi leaving them behind— leads me to believe a major plot twist is coming.
I THINK I KNOW WHAT IT IS, OH MY GOSH.
And is Yuko (Reiji’s mom) grooming and manipulating his best friend, Gen?
Every character is revealing the darker sides of themselves, and it’s truly addicting to witness.
Finally, Yuko and Esemori meet up for coffee and a chat, while Esemori reveals the master plan he has for the town he grew up in.
Destruction.
It’s all about to get so much worse.
Boy’s Abyss is all the ugliness you just can’t look away from.

Ce manga ne cesse de me surprendre. J’attends toujours chaque tome avec grande impatience et je ne suis jamais déçue pour le coup. L’histoire est particulière, dès les premières pages du premier tome, on est directement plongé dedans. Cette histoire est même assez sombre, très sombre même. Tout n’est que manipulation ici et ça fait cruellement de la peine pour les différents personnages. Encore une fois, on a ici un tome incroyable qui nous plonge encore un eu plus profond dans la manipulation.
Dans ce cinquième tome, Reiji Kurose se contente de vivre au jour le jour, prisonnier de la ville où il habite et de sa famille. Après que sa tentative de suicide, en compagnie de l’idole Nagi Aoe, échoue, il promet à Tchako, son amie d’enfance, qu’ils quitteront la ville ensemble. Sa professeure principale reste obsédée par lui, tandis que sa mère continue de l’étouffer. Les abysses s’élargissent et semblent s’étendre à toute la ville.
Chaque tome apporte son lot de surprises. J’ai tout simplement adoré encore une fois. Reiji me fait tellement de peine, voir tout le monde le manipuler comme ça ça fait vraiment mal au coeur.. La palme revient à sa professeur. Cette femme est vraiment machiavélique. C’est terrible de voir à quel point elle est mauvaise celle là. C’est horrible de voir à quel point elle se sert de lui, à quel point elle pense à des plans dégueulasse.. Reiji me fait si mal au coeur.. Lui n’aspire qu’à une seule chose finalement, quitter la ville et vivre en paix. Tchako aussi m’a faut de la peine dans ce tome là. Elle aussi va être victime de la prof de Reiji, ce qui nous prouve qu’elle est même encore plus pourrie qu’on le pensait. C’est vraiment la pire personne.. Dans cette histoire, chaque personnage cache quelque chose de mauvais finalement et on ne sait jamais quoi réellement penser d’eux.. La fin de ce tome promet une suite des plus palpitante en tout cas!
Je suis vraiment fan de ce manga. L’histoire est hyper prenante et on ne sait jamais ce qu’il nous attend par la suite. Mais c’est aussi une histoire pleine de rebondissements, pleine de surprises. Chaque personnage a quelque chose a caché, quelque chose de sombre.. Si je devais résumer l’histoire en un seul mot ça serait : manipulation. toute l’histoire tourne autour de ça. Il me tarde vraiment que le prochain tome sorte!

"Nunca había sentido un amor tan grande como el que tengo por él. Se ha convertido en todo mi mundo, y debo proteger mi mundo de todo aquello que lo está dañando. Soy la única que puede hacerlo, la única que debe hacerlo."
Nos encontramos ante el tomo más tóxico de los 5 que he leído, ya que siento que, a pesar de que la tristeza y la desesperación que transmitían los otros sigue muy presente, hay personajes con unas elecciones tan cuestionables que solo se respira toxicidad en el ambiente.
La historia de los habitantes del pueblo ya se está dejando entrever, aunque aún no es mostrada totalmente, y esto hace que me de más intriga de leer el siguiente tomo. Además, también se está dejando ver la maldad humana y el deseo de ciertas personas a cumplir e imponer expectativas y sueños en otras, algo muy ruin y rastrero.
La evolución del personaje principal es digna de mención, ya que parece ser que se está desprendiendo poco a poco de la venda que tenía en los ojos, y está actuando más en consecuencia con lo que siente y quiere. Aún así, le queda mucho trabajo por delante y le veo un futuro bastante oscuro. Por otro lado, hay una heroína que, a pesar de todo lo que está sufriendo, sobre todo en este tomo, sigue adelante sin dejarse romper. Algo de agradecer ya que te hace descansar de toda la locura que esta obra contiene en sus páginas.
Como siempre, aprovecho para hablar de como está diseñado el manga para transmitir al lector. Cada viñeta, cada bocadillo, cada dibujo y cada página están estudiadamente calculadas para transmitir aquello que la autora quiere que sientas. Y eso es algo que logra con creces.

First ch. actually doesn’t disappoint! The teacher is helping in a concrete way—and I knew he was worried over nothing about his mom. Er, besides what irrelevant-ish thing he found out last book.
Who casually tells their mom they almost killed themselves? Framing is always so bad in this book. The kid has no emotions or brain, no lead up to anything. A woman will suggest anything to him and he’ll take it on as a “personality” for a day.
Okay, so I knew I was getting something wrong w/ the 90s suicide. That’s explained. Hey, maybe Esemori had a crush on Rei’s mom even? I guess that’s who he inherits his flip-floppy mental illness from. Chako is pretty smart or conniving this issue. We see the teacher really come unhinged like the reviewers wanted since volume 2.
Speaking of her, the scene is so incest-framed. Why didn’t the author just draw porn instead of nonsensical suspense? Split up your fetishes per story, man! Or maybe he should’ve produced these under a way looser deadline and steadier outline. The shoehorning of every taboo and twist shows. BTW, manga always makes tongues look so gross and fat like a beetle… The end is actually volume one good.

Every time I think to myself "Okay, this is it, this is the limit of how bad it can get", this series obliterates the limit, and
gets even worse.
Can Reiji not catch one single break? It seems like everyone claims that they love him and will help him get out, but then turns around and abuses him. Holy mother of god. What kind of tangled hellscape is this town?!

Okay i'm putting this on hold for a bit before picking up the next volumes because this is indeed batshit crazy and dark af like bro the author really managed make a stupid harem trope so dark 😭 i think i'll read smth that's a little more sunshine and rainbows before probably binging the rest of the series bcs it somehow manages to be so engaging??
(Spoiler ahead)
Also idek if this part is from this volume or the previous one bcs i read chapter-wise but the part where the teacher is at his house when he gets home after dropping chako off scared the shit out of me like holy fuck also his mom is fucking crazy and overall just what the fuck i love it (i'm mentally insane)

Absolute trainwreck. Every adult needs to be put in prison and every kid in this needs intense therapy.

just why? why? damn it’s getting complicated

Chako doesn’t deserve this, let my girl be happy!!
February 18, 2025
Oh... this is getting worse and worse (the circumstances, not the series) because Shiba is headed toward full yandere after catching Reiji and Chako on a date, spreading lies and trying to get Reiji no matter what or how. But Reiji's mom is doing the same thing from a different angle, pulling strings and manipulating people to keep Reiji where he is.
Then there's Esemori's connection in all this and I'm starting to think that Reiji's father... isn't his real father.
This series has 18 volumes.
