Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 12

📚 Book Review: Boy’s Abyss, Vol. 12
📖 Author(s): Ryo Minenami

💭 My Thoughts:

🇬🇧 I must admit I don’t quite understand what Yuri is doing at Yuko’s house. Is she trying to help Reiji’s family? Does she feel guilty in some way? Maybe this was already explained earlier, but I can’t quite remember.

The relationship dynamics continue to develop. I’ve noticed that this series deals quite a lot with the theme of suicide, which on its own would likely make it difficult to publish in the West without considerable caution. In that sense, Japanese creators seem to enjoy greater creative freedom to explore heavier themes, which ultimately allows for bolder storytelling.

As for the ending, I’d really like Reiji to end up with Sakuko. I think I’ve said this before. They seem like a perfect match, but Reiji still hasn’t realized that he basically has the jackpot right in front of him.

🇵🇹 Confesso que não entendo bem o que a Yuri faz em casa da Yuko. Estará a tentar ajudar a família do Reiji? Ou sente algum tipo de culpa? Talvez isto já tenha sido explicado antes, mas neste momento já não me recordo.

A dinâmica entre as personagens continua a evoluir. Apercebi-me de que esta série aborda bastante o tema do suicídio — algo que, no contexto editorial ocidental, muitas vezes é tratado com bastante cautela. Nesse sentido, a banda desenhada japonesa parece ter uma maior liberdade criativa para explorar temas difíceis, o que permite histórias mais ousadas.

Quanto ao final, continuo a torcer para que o Reiji fique com a Sakuko. Já devo ter dito isto antes: parecem-me um par perfeito. Falta apenas que o Reiji perceba o que tem mesmo à sua frente.
