A review by papercrowns
Midnight Rain by CTK

fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

What I liked 
  • The character art is gorj
  • It was nice to see some age and body diversity (even if only some body hair)
  • The general concept was interesting. 

What I didn't like
  • I was uncomfortable with the lack of consent. Almost DNFed. 
  • The plot was barely there. The threads were real loose, y'all (maybe that's the trade-off for a standalone?). It touched on some heavy themes — poverty, crime, suicide, codependence — but didn't have much to say about them (or at all; pretty surface level). 
  • I'm no stranger to reading manga and following panels, but some of the panels in this I had absolutely no clue what I was looking at and couldn't even make sense of them using context clues. That might be on me though.
