A Trail of Blood

Nilitch

A Trail of Blood is a very short manga (gonna be). Only 10 chapters are out. The story is basically about an obsessively overprotective mother and her son.

The art-style is sketcky and fabulous. Just have a look at theses panels

!

There is a very strange vibe it this manga. I think it's very appealing and original. It's really fucked up.
Anyway, just give it a try. At least reach chapter 6 if you wanna know what I'm talking about. It really worths it.

Genre: Drama / Psychological / School Life / Seinen / Slice of Life

Can read it on mangastream.

I have been following the manga since the beginning, but mostly for the artwork. The mangaka has a very unique style, but it's not for everyone, and this manga is really slow. We are 10 chapters in and I'm not sure yet where the plot is going (if anywhere at all)

Nilitch

It might be seen as slow because the author is focusing a lot on every emotions of the characters. We always get those weird close-ups that make the reader uneasy.

The first 5 chapters were basically a setup, now we're getting into more serious stuff, and I guess we'll soon have a mother and son discussion/conflict (lol).

! Anyway, I just hope the mother doesn't end up in jail.

uhuyyy

I feel really bad for sei, her mother's so f*ck up.

Sei's mother is definitely fucked up.

Satsuki

Very fucked up. Not entirely her fault, but fucked up.

Any doctor in the house?

Satsuki

Um, she's been that since chapter 1.

Yeah yeah yeah, but her flashback just showed - beyond doubt - that she is because of mental health. Not because she was a cunt.
