been on a BL mood lately so i read stigmata - seikon sousa and it's sequel aiken
okay so i knew the author from their kamen rider v3/riderman BL fanart and like. you can really notice they worked on that bc these guys are just yuki and kazami character design wise like look at ittt
but it puts a fresh spin into things by making the V3 expy into the uke! asako (the character in question) does get drawn softer in vols 2 & 3 to make him more uke but like. he still looks a lot like miyauchi. so seeing him basically play this soft pained doormat is so surreal but tbh it's part of the appeal
the premise is also really interesting!!! it's about a detective division led by superintendent kuroiwa (riderman) that solves crimes through asako's (V3) ability to reenact the deaths of people through his stigmata condition, which gives him the victim's wounds and lingering death thoughts whenever he's close to a murder scene. so kuroiwa and asako go around solving crimes while getting closer to each other and dealing with asako's condition...
so yeah this is good. this is reaaallly good i adore how the gay relationship develops and i got really invested into the way they solved the murders and the mysteries. it's really good shit
mind you there's a lot of gore and fucked up stuff happening bc this IS about a guy who reenacts brutal murders to solve them. it is a really compelling and interesting story though. asako as a character is suuuuper happacore and the art is GORGEOUS as hell so yes read it
i love all of the section six dudes too, they are all so fun. my fave is asako but like kuroiwa and ayako are great too. i love how well realized the characters are even with the short length
so yeah!! really dug this. go read it.
