makes you wonder
was it really a cat that he saw?
or was he made to kill a kid? a real person? or was he made to kill a cat, truly? i suppose that's plenty traumatic, but still
makes you wonder

This is pretty classic serial manipulation. Sure, Seiko is as nutty as them come, but she is clearly setting Seiichi up to a massive pivot: either he takes care of the situation so they can live happily ever after, or she will cause him to absorb the blame entirely. By saying "I want to have a way out of it all", she means that literally: she wants out of the current situation, out of the marriage and family she's shackled with, and there's only room for Sei if he can continue to devote everything he has to her; she likely feels like he 'owes' it to her. On the other hand, she would probably be just as content being legally taken away--at least she wouldn't have to tolerate her messed up family life anymore. I wonder if Seiichi was an unplanned pregnancy, if Seiko's marriage only happened because of it.

This manga is so fucked up, Seiko keeps emotionally tearing up Seiichi's reality and putting it back together to suit her. The real scary part about this manga that I can actually image sociopaths doing this to real people. And the faces, oh the faces terrify me in a way I didn't know was possible. Anyway time to read the next chapter.

I check in on this manga a couple times a year, because I cannot with trying to read all of it.
The shark has been jumped.
There’s no mystery, no tension. Just a question of how ridiculous it will get before she dies and he goes really weird and can’t integrate into society.

Well, it ended up stupider than I thought.
”Happiness” might be the most satisfying read from this artist. It goes off the rails multiple times, but it’s fucking VAMPIRES. How could it not?!
“Flowers of Evil” is …fine?
”Boku wa Mari no Naka” is really good until it just falls on its face and ends.
Regardless, this artist sucks at endings almost as much as Stephen King.
I’ll take “then everyone’s lives become really boring and lonely”, over “and then a monster showed up and made everything GO ALL CRAZY! They barely got out of there alive the end”, though.

Both of them would be better off just stopping earlier. Open ended endings are better than that shit.

gotta be some interesting backstory.
