A lot of the time people assume a story is good just because it tackles heavy themes. Well, this story is tackling some of the heaviest themes imaginable, and I genuinely think it's doing a great job at it.
Well, tackling heavy themes is hard, many stories crashed and burned and fell to oblivion attempting that (because badly written plus heavy themes equal people thoroughly want to throw the memories out of their heads both consciously and subconsciously), but those managed to pull it off will have a bigger impact, so when people remember "stories with heavy themes" they could only recall the good ones, so over time some people got it backward. But I agree, this series is doing good so far.
You know for sure this shit definitely ain't getting an anime lmao.
I call this genre "Car Crash In Slow Motion"
Nah, that's Kitanai Kimi and Jigoku de Aishite
(I know this is obviously not how this will go down, but I need to say it somewhere) the story would end right now if she called the cops. I know Colin says her friend snitched before and nothing happened BUT now there's real proof that he abused her, i.e the buried baby. That's why daddy was so insisting on Colin flushing the bebe. Mary should follow her to see where she lives, call the cops, tell about the abuse and the buried baby, and boom case solved they get married and live happily ever after :)
Well with the latest chapter as of today, that evidence is about to be gone if they were successful.
And the story could go on with Colin running away. Although, the bad ending would be her getting mistaken as a runaway and be taken back to her dad. I'm assuming she already tried that and failed, that's why she kept coming back despite being able to get away from that house anytime.
