Love and Heart #7
Love and Heart, Vol. 7
Touya’s last-ditch attempt to take Yoh back does nothing but drive an irreconcilable wedge between the two, and even Sawako is caught in the fallout! With all her friendships falling apart, Yoh has nowhere left to turn but into her boyfriend’s arms―just as Haruma planned from the start. He’s removed every obstacle, and now nothing remains between him and living happily ever after with Yoh…but will a relationship built on lies really work out that smoothly?

Love and Heart isn't exactly subtle, in some ways. There's no mystery to what's going on in anyone's mind. If you have any doubts, they'll be sure to state their motivations plainly.
Everyone, with the possible exceptions of Yoh and Touya, are poisonous and leave battered psyches behind them wherever they go. Yoh is passive to a fault, and at this point Haruma seems to have succeeded at creating an emotionally neutered puppet to stay at his side forever. I mean, after being throttled into unconsciousness by herboyfriend prison warden, and being told her doors and windows are locked from the inside, and Haruma has the only keys, she literally just sits there. She showed some spunk in the latter part of this volume, when his plots were laid out to her (by Madoka, of course), but that was done away with quickly.
The other stories kind of like this that I've read have mitigated the awfulness of the FL's situation in some way. Maybe the ML is cruel in the beginning, but he (1) warms to the heroine and ends up being on her side and protecting her (2) is more obliviously cruel than malicious, and comes to self-realization and apologizes for his actions, etc. Maybe the FL finds friends in her gothic prison, or somewhere out in the world.
We don't get any of that here. We're narrowing down to a world of two, and I can only imagine Yoh's mom will be removed from Yoh's life when the pair comes to the US on vacation.
My response to this one, from the beginning up until now, has been equivocal. Is forever-love so great if you lose literally everything and everyone else? If you quit school, you have no job, and your friends give up on communicating with you because your scary SO is wrecking their lives, too? If you have nothing but the inside of your own home, and your phone (with a quickly-decreasing number of contacts you can depend on), and your evil mastermind of a partner to interact with?
I'm sure the author knows exactly what they're doing, here. I appreciate that there aren't explicit morals being pushed at the reader, and they're left to come to their own conclusions about what's happening, or what they feel would be a better direction for things to take. This is dialed-to-11 gothic-esque fun for me, but anybody who's been in an abusive relationship might want to keep a wide berth from this one.
The art's pretty nice. I especially like Yoh's outfits and hair.

I rate this 4.25 stars.
This volume was actually way more enjoyable than the past few were. Part of it is because now Yoh sees who Haruma really is, things have gotten more interesting and he has gotten more unhinged, love it. He’s still the one of the few yandere I don’t like but the story has definitely gotten more interesting. It had gotten boring until this volume. In my review of vol. 6, I said that I was dreading reading vol. 7 because I had a feeling of what would happen but I was so wrong (which is pretty rare nowadays when it comes to romance manga) and I’m glad I was. Hopefully, the last 3 volumes are this good but I heard that vol. 10 is mostly the epilogue, so we’ll see.

Are you for real!? That’s a terrible cliffhanger! In the very last panel, she looks so sad almost like a broken doll…..

I knew it was dark but this volume got particularly dark.

The story tension returns to volume 5 levels and it is messed up. I was right about what I said in #5's review, and I'm left just floored by what I just read. But, yet again, the book comes wrapped in plastic for seemingly no reason, although the twisted events at the end might qualify as squeamish-y (my gut definitely knotted (─.─||). I'm not shelving this as shojo any more. I don't know what this is. It's creepy as hell and I can't stand stop reading it. Bring on #8!
