Total Eclipse of the Eternal Heart

Did I just make an account to rate this manga? Yes, Yes I am Unfortunately, despite me giving a 10(Masterpiece) , which by all means, Syundei and this story totally deserves it. It gives 6 chapters makes there some things that can and should have been explored more. However, I can understand why Syundei didn't do it as they have other projects as well. Only having 6 chapters itself didn't hinder the story theme for me, but it did leave me wanting more (only that and that is my own personal feelings) After all, I will recommend this to everyone who likes Dark Theme Yaoi Manga.

Gesshoku Kitan, despite its interesting premise, fails to deliver a truly captivating story due to its horrific pacing. It is a delight to see unconventional, and dark and gritty BL stories and it is a shame that Gesshoku Kitan did not have the time to develop its mystery and characters. The characters are all rushed to fulfil their roles, leaving no room for the reader to get to know them. Since it is difficult to connect with the characters, the climactic scenes (which are primarily focused on the characters) feel flatter than they should be. The mystery can hardly be called a mystery simply because, again,the plot moves by too fast. It is nearly impossible to feel suspense or curiosity. Despite this, the premise offered is extremely interesting (precisely why the delivery was so disappointing to me). It is definitely not for everyone. The themes and relationship dynamics explored are grim. However, Gesshoku Kitan does serve a niche and if a dark BL 'mystery' sounds like something you'd enjoy, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't read it.

Good, but can be better. We only have 6 chapters, so the author couldn't develop more about the characters and the plot. The story could be better explored, but overall it's quite good if you want to read a BL series that has a plot and isn't too long. I also like the quote at the end " When people aren't afraid to die, what will happen to them?" showing that this story can offer some certain kind of philosophy. This is not for light-hearted people can't handle dark and horror, however horror is my cup of tea. The reason why I gave this 10stars beacuse it gives out the unique vibe compared to most of BL manga, especially that character "Yamada Omihiko" , his black eyes like a drakness river, always wanted to tell us that there is something wrong with him. I like the aura he give off, umm kinda like...Tomie? and it's rare to see a type of character like this in a BL, that's why I like it.
