But he doesn't have his dick anymore, unless he's a different kind of eunuch.

V My understanding is that only eunuchs are allowed in the female only section of the palace.

It was originally hinted he was the brother but he's actually Auduo and the Emperor's son, who was swapped with the brother.

So I'm catching up with the disturbing series Trail of Blood, and lmao this page: https://readms.net/r/a_trail_of_blood/46/5727/17

I legitimately have no idea where the gently caress this story is going. This kid is just basically screwed by his circumstances.

edit: I think I mentioned this in the past on the topic of this story, but what makes it so unsettling is that the protagonist is just a middle schooler and lacks the agency/options that an older teen might have. Like, he's at the "child" end of the transition from child to adult, so he lacks any tools to deal with his situation to a greater extent than someone older might.

Shigeru will not remember what happened exactly but the mom will still want to end him. Man, this was not the direction I was expecting this to go when I started it.

It's real real good. Everyone should always read You Will Hear the Voice of the Dead.

I'm like 30 chapters in and it's gotten to the point that I can't take any of it seriously. Seventy thousand people were just killed by a cursed manga. The MC has had like a dozen relatives and childhood friends die supernaturally. He's been involved with numerous highly public incidents with huge body counts attached. I'm not saying I'm not enjoying it, but now it's more like a really weird gag manga where ghosts make people's heads explode.

My cousin is visiting for a bit!

Ohh, she's become obsessed with a run down amusement park and died falling from the top of a Ferris wheel that no longer exists.

Let's go on vacation!

Ohh, the vacation house has a necromancer in it and my mom looks like his dead wife and he's gonna try to steal her body.

Let's go visit some family friends!

Ohh, they live in a murder house and get possessed and kill themselves.

Yes, there's an element of the surreal to all of it that makes both the humor and the horror work. Like it can go real real dark when it wants to, but it can also go silly.

It's funny how sometimes a government agency shows up investigating and whenever they get there the manga flat out becomes a ghostbusters-esque comedy/action thing instead of pretending it's remotely horror.

The hailey's comet Cultists was the best fakeout in the series for me. There was also an update for anyone who missed it featuring more of the lovely serial killer ghost. With an ending straight out of 'The Silence of the Lambs'

hayakawa can never move on because jun is a ridiculous magnet for supernatural danger. he doesn't even seek it out. jun and menacing ghosts are like detective conan and overly elaborate murders of people who deserve it.

i always find it funny when hayakawa gets frustrated with her mortal peril-prone boy.

I don't think it's clear with the manga of Kusuriya but the translation of the LN heavily implies that Maomao knows he's not a eunuch, but refuses to think otherwise for various reasons. She does this sort of mental filter to another character later on too.

Lol at Sasaki's introduction.

I was wondering why Musashi wasn't in there, but that "explains" that. The writer just wanted to have some fun.

I like how the only way this even works is to assume that not a single other swordsman in all of history decided to continue training after their death. Sasaki is the only guy who felt the need to get better and achieve enlightenment because he's a loser I guess?

Somehow I actually believed that Sasaki was dead at that first lunge, probably the result of hyping the ultimate loser.
