親愛なる僕へ殺意をこめて 1 by Hajime Inoryu, 井龍一

apostir's review against another edition

1.0

I really disliked this, I had this on my list for ages because it is mystery and thriller, now I picked it up and finally read it and the first shot I see is a close up of a butt, then I see panties naked women and all that. The protagonist is a clown I cannot take seriously, and I just hate that we need to have women sexualised so much in a thriller. I really do not mind erotic stuff, but there is a place and time for it. With Japanese stories I see this a lot, that the story is good, but then they just randomly need to push in sexualised women. I really do not like that. The story became uninteresting to me just because of that and the weird protagonist, he seemed to be boring, and I could not care. The victims were killed in a gruesome way, but that is not a thing I want in a thriller. The thing has to be interesting.

I will not continue to read this series any time soon, and I am glad I did not fully commit and buy more volumes.

It's not holding up to my expectations so far, but this is just the first volume. It's good enough to keep reading.

Promising start with interesting plot but it would have been better without some unnecessary scenes with the girlfriend or the first panel.
