620https://i.ur.com/bGZa5zX.jpg M is for Masochist The story is told entirely from a POV perspective of our sexually awakening protagonist Unnamed unseen and unheard apart from the occasional speechbubbleless lines of text representing him the story warmly allows its masochist audience to comfortably selfinsert as the sadist heroine ferociously glares and berates you with amusingly twisted insults like a first class VR experience. And the real meat of the story well there really is none. Its primarily just the heroine hurling insult after insult glare after glare with the occasional touch of NSFW scenes although nowhere near bordering actual fullfledged porn. However you can guesswork the story with the protagonists narration. Since this is a very short read the ending didnt come off as unfulfilling at all to me. There was no extreme change in tone the uneasy tone remained and hung in the air. Thus the negative catharsis is no where near comparable to something like Gal Cleaning. Nearly every oneshot Ive read had me more invested than this. The abrupt plot skipping around between these one page chapters left much to be desired and left nothing to be invested in. But what it did excel at was as you can guess by now its masochism appeal. If youre into that then youll likely have a brief gratification. Otherwise youll be momentarily crestfallen and bewildered. I also suppose it was comedically arousing. The series offers amusing reaction panels and oneliners. 420https://i.ur.com/NM3z3EB.jpg And the art is both surprisingly and unsurprisingly great to look at. Eromanga can have some detailed character expressions to really express the characters sexual deviance and pleasure. And in this case the heroines sadism. Her scornful glares dark displeased eyes downturned eyebrows facial gradient shading to express disgust and hatred. The briefness and shallowness of the series is almost a shame given how a proper story would allow the art to bloom at its full potential. But for all the intents and purposes and considering this originates as pixiv work I dont at all lie any fault with the author. 620https://i.ur.com/SBqb8ry.jpg Conclusion If youre not willing to read 156 chapters of Nana to Kaoru and its other fetishenlightening sequels and asking yourself what other masosadist manga exist then I suppose you can give this a try. Boasting an incohesive plot abrupt ending surprisingly detailed art humorous dialogue and of course masosadist fetishism you can probably find something else better to read while loafing around in bed. 420https://i.ur.com/9YaS67R.png
