Basic lay-it-down-to-me plot of both titles (possible spoilers)... The nation one day becomes infected with a strange disease, where everyone starts dying or killing each other on mass. Main character somehow overcomes the disease to some degree, lose the girl and goes on a journey to become stronger fighting off strange organizations.

The members of Rudiment, or the protagonist's team, are also a bunch of stereotypical or average guys. We have the energetic, short tempered guy who believes in friendship and has spiky hair. The quiet, intelligent, glass wearing guy who is the strategist. The short girl who had a traumatic past and looks kinda average too but loves the protagonist. The doctor is also the "older woman who drinks but can be serious" type. Then we have Neibu, who is probably the only interesting guy in the team. He is foreign, has kind of a weird hairstyle, is the leader and is really smart but isn't afraid to show his feelings for his teamates and always seems to think ahead. Before chapter 9, he is seen as a very dangerous man, someone who is linked to many deaths and also makes a scary and threatening face towards the protagonist. He never makes this face again. He also has some kind of... keychain thing? It is never explained but it is shown a lot.

Smut

Art. Hmmmhm. The art is very nice. Easy to read. Not much to complain. Except for one flaw. Male characters tend to be a bit more varied in terms of facial design, however female characters suffer from the ''same face'' syndrome, where it looks like the same person with a different wig. It's not really bothering too much, I just personally take more attention to the art, so occasionally I see 2 different characters and notice they look identical. But shouldn't be much of an issue for most people.

In many cases, the trope involves the female character wanting the male to kill her, but the guy can’t deliver (Urotaukidoji, Gundam Wing). Character development: He gets some development, but it feels like it comes out of nowhere. After chapter 10, aka only a 1 month timeskip, he is suddenly more serious, not scared by anything at all, nor is he afraid of confrontation. He now believes in the "power of love" and friendship and basically becomes way more average of a protagonist than before. If I recall correctly, we only see him cleaning like three times (even when that used to be his main character trait), so he even lost that. This book dabbles in that. I think it is mainly just trying to make cute ladies look cute while dead. I don’t think they are too focused on death aesthetic (in Hannibal it is a visual priority and integral to the story). It is worth noting. Alright, so I finally finished Konya wa tuski. It's only 35 chapters long, but I say "finally" because I had to struggle to reach the end. Not because it drags on, but because it wasn't much of an enjoyable read. I honestly considered dropping this manga many times, but I continued going since I felt I just had to write a review for it. This idea of a male protagonist fighting his urge to kill his love interest is nothing new in anime/manga.We also have the theme of death aesthetic going on. Some of the earlier seasons of America’s Next Top Model featured women being photographed like they were dead. Painted to look pretty in a tub of blood, or looking hot while drying on the sun-bleached pavement. It was weird, but apparently there’s a market for it 🤷🏻‍♀️ Now I'm gonna talk about protagonist, members of his team, members of the enemy team, and lastly, love interest and Mastermind. Most of these guys appear after chapter 10 so watch out for that, I guess? It came out really long, so I will do a TL;DR at the bottom.

Kamishiro, the protagonist, has an okay introduction. We are supposed to see him as kind of a weird, weak, and scaredy guy. He is afraid of confessing, he likes cleaning a lot and might be pushed around but he is the janitor of his class. He is also seen as timid in comparison to his best friend and love interest, Hanazono. Just after that, Hanazono dissapears. After her leave，he joins the organisation and teams up with three ID infectees that try to overcome their blood lust: Akito Nishihashi, Ryouko Etou, and Tatsuya Kawamura. His objective is finding Hanozono and kill her. Kamishiro is kind, caring and humble. He is rather shy and reserved, and chooses to avoid conflict if he has to. He is also willing to help others on his own free will, as shown when he helps out the school janitors in keeping the school clean and attempts to stop a man from assaulting a woman, which would ultimately lead to him contracting Bloodlust. Per questi motivi... mi sacrificherò e continuerò a leggere nonostante tutto, sperando in un miracolo. It's got an interesting premise and sets up lots of mysteries within the first few chapters that keep you guessing. I wouldn't really categorize it as a typical shounen, mostly because it doesn't really feel like the stereotypical shounen. It doesn't have the same predetermined structure where the character trains to beat a boss type character and then faces another boss type character and this continues on for many, many chapters. (Just as a side note, I love shounen manga, so I wouldn't mind if that was the case, but that really isn't the structure of this manga) I think this feeling stems from the fact that it doesn't really have the same separating arc structure of a shounen; all the plot things bleed together.Having said that, it's also very similar to Kiseijyuu and Tokyo Ghoul; probably another half a dozen other titles with similar plot lines... In other cases, the female can be killed again and again, so the male impulse to kill can be satiated while the female gets to live, or grow stronger (Tomie).

seseorang yang terjangkit bloodlust memiliki kekuatan 2x lebih kuat daripada manusia normal. karakteristik dari kekuatannya berbeda tergantung dengan keahlian dan situasi. kamishiro bukan superhero, karena yang dipikirkannya hanya niat membunuh. tapi ketika keadaan berubah menjadi pelik, kamishiro berbalik menggunakan kekuatannya untuk kebaikan meskipun mungkin saja keputusannya sia-sia oleh twist yang surealis serta berdarah-darah. The main character, Kamishiro, is in love with his childhood friend. He becomes infected with a disease which causes a person to have the uncontrollable urge to kill the one they love. The rest of the manga follows Kamishiro's journey, which I won't say any more about because that would definitely count as real spoilers.

Character Design: Just like Kamishiro, Average face, average weight, average personality. She has blonde, medium lenght hair. That's.. what else can I possibly say? 3/10 I've enjoyed it so far, and the plot moves pretty steadily so I haven't gotten bored reading. The characters are interesting, but the story focuses much more on Kamishiro and larger plot points and action scenes rather than exploring side characters. I think it could use more side character development and more hints about the larger mysteries, but it's been a pretty good read so far. It starts with a young guy who is meant to be seen as a freak, since he is obsessive with cleaning. We see him around school, trying to confess to his childhood friend who everyone loves too! Either way, after some time, he realises that his love has turned into... bloodlust?! What?! First of all, I'd have to say that the story is very and I mean very reminiscent of ''Alive'', another manga which has a
