親愛なる僕へ殺意をこめて [Shinai Naru Boku e Satsui wo Komete] #5
The Killer Inside 5
Dieser spannende und mitreißende Psychothriller mit Horrorelementen lässt einen an allem zweifeln – und an jedem!
Auf den ersten Blick scheint Eiji ein ganz normaler Student zu sein, doch er hat ein Geheimis: sein verstorbener Vater war ein berüchtigter Serienmörder, der für seine extreme Grausamkeit bekannt war.
Eines Tages wacht Eiji neben einem schönen fremden Mädchen auf, das anscheinend in ihn verliebt ist und behauptet, seine Freundin zu sein, doch eigenartigerweise kann er sich nicht an sie erinnern. Die letzten Tage scheinen wie aus seinem Gedächtnis gelöscht, und es fühlt sich an, als hätte jemand anders die Kontrolle übernommen. Zur selben Zeit findet die örtliche Polizei eine aufs Übelste verstümmelte Leiche, und für sie besteht kein Zweifel: Eijis Vater ist zurück... doch kann das wirklich sein?

PT Bem, que bela confusão vai aqui, com tantos plot twists!
A história tem dado voltas e reviravoltas intensas, com revelações surpreendentes sobre várias personagens. Neste volume, mergulhamos também no passado do protagonista, explorando a sua relação com os pais e o momento em que descobre que o pai era, afinal, um assassino em série.
É um volume que exige bastante atenção do leitor, sob pena de facilmente se perder no emaranhado do enredo.

EN Well, what a mess we have here, with so many plot twists!
The story has been full of intense turns and shocking revelations about several characters. In this volume, we also dive into the protagonist’s past, exploring his relationship with his parents and the moment he discovers that his father was, in fact, a serial killer.
It’s a volume that demands the reader’s full attention — otherwise, it’s easy to get lost in the intricacies of the plot.

Eiji is your typical shy college student trying to find himself, get a pretty girlfriend and cruise through life with no issues. Unfortunately his father was a brutal serial killer that left a stain on his family that follows him around everywhere he goes, and the emergence of a split personality with dark and violent tendencies gets him wrapped up in a murderous conspiracy where his dangerous alter ego seems to be his own worst enemy. Is he doomed to involuntarily follow in his disgraced father’s footsteps?
I thought this series would be a bit predictable considering I’ve seen this type of horror thriller before, but it ended up throwing dozens of unexpected twists at me, none of them being what I predicted given the premise. The truth behind both of Eiji’s personalities ended up being more twisted and complex than I had originally imagined.
What really won me over with this series is how unexpectedly complex and multilayered the entire cast of side characters ended up being. At first, the side characters all seem very simplistic and forgettable with one dimensional character tropes, but almost every single side character ends up having dark secrets of their own that are even more insane than those of the protagonist. Hardly anyone in this story is completely innocent, everyone is involved in the mass murder conspiracy in some way or another and the puzzle keeps getting bigger and bigger until the very end where everything is finally pieced together.
Don’t be deceived by the predictable opening with familiar psychological horror cliches. The series gets more intense, unpredictable and challenging to figure out the longer it goes on and the payoff at the end hits really hard. Eiji is a tragic character that’s easy to hate at times but incredibly sympathetic, the side characters all have fascinating subplots of their own as well. It has a slow build up but gets significantly better with each volume.

Kyoka jest pojebana. Nie ma żadnego usprawiedliwienia i nie wiem, jej koniec z jednej strony jest satysfakcjonujący, a z drugiej nie.
A Shoto też taka dupa, dał się zmanipulować żonie, to teraz córce - dlaczego? Eee, chłopie, taki nieogarnięty. No. Także czekam na finał, gdzie okaże się, że ktoś jeszcze jest w to zamieszany, bo jak na razie to okazuje się, że z tego małego grona każdy z każdym jest jakoś powiązany i to w taki niefajny sposób.
A, i jeszcze naszła mnie myśl - a co, jeśli Młody ma rację i jego ojciec faktycznie nie był mordercą? Jak nie on to kto? Hmmm, obstawiam faceta od telefonu, ale to taki strzał w ciemno, bo może się okaże, że to matka, albo że faktycznie ojciec, a życzenie Młodego było tylko życzeniem. Ach, taka jestem ciekawa...

This was definitely the best volume do far, with sublime writing for every scene and moment of the story that draws you in and really keeps your eyes moving and yearning for the next page so intensely god, the twists see absolutely and unfathomably twisted, with a backstory i cant even begin to explain, but part of me feels like a lot of it was made up on the spot, but with enough mental gymnastics you can probably arrive at the present story with complete justification. It gets confusing at some points, but it is not impossibly difficult to understand what direction the author is taking with this story

L’intrigue est EXCELLENTE !
Je sais que je suis une lectrice qui se laisse porter par l’histoire sans vraiment chercher qui est le coupable, mais là, on nous fait croire tellement de choses qui sont CRÉDIBLES, qui au final sont FAUSSES! Et c’est comme ça à chaque tome, genre on ne peut être sur de RIEN !
Et l’alter ego du personnage principal est tellement bien mené !

Um volume bem angustiante com várias revelações e, mesmo que não seja tão eufórico quando os mangás anteriores, permanece exemplar na construção dos mistérios e lentamente revelando segredos que fazem com que a história atinja novos ápices!!!

This story insane, what the heck! I feel like everyone's dealt with a bad hand and did what they could to survive; still, that doesn't justify the wrong they've done.
Looks can be really deceiving.

Won’t lie, kind of bummed out that the not killer version was the fake. His backstory is sad but like…how did he not get any help or therapy. Rei please save Eiji.
