review 1: I bought the doujinshi one episode (1-7)at a time and I think if you can grab them, you should. The qualty of the printing and the cover textures are sinfully amazing. Now as for the storyline, holy crappola! I like dark and tangy, with a dash of Frank's red hot sauce but this has all the fixings that a dark minded gal like me loves. You have an beautiful intellectual uke, Katsuya Asano who is brought into the picture by the police to get a suspected serial killer to confess. The killer, charismatic and deadly, Shinohara has requested the physcologist by name and will only cooperate with him. Once there, Asano begins to have horrific night terrors of rape and mutilation at the hands of an unseen assailant each night. During the day he spars with Shinohara while draw... moreing out the chilling details of how the killer stalked his chosen prey.At one point in a session Asano gets lost in a recollection, I'd call it post traumatic stress disorder (PTSP)and Shinohara strikes out like cobra, so quick and purposeful leaving Asano to be rescued by the cop watchdog. Shinohara gloats and informs Asano that he had the most satisfying orgasm when he returned to his room after that incident. Asano has pulled his professional facade back into place but Shinohara has seen the chink in the armor and has no qualms about exploiting it.The graphics are just that...graphic. If darkness is not your cuppa, avoid this with all costs. However, I like this. I love this. I love the fact that there is more going on that simple dominance and brute strength. There are pages of text at the beginning of some chapters and they lay out the tone and scope of the upcoming scene.PS:Asano also appears in prequels: Father Figure - another dark distrubing piece and New York Minute - showing the beginning of his career in the States with a cop lover.I got down on my knees before the GuiltPleasure table at Yaoi-con and asked about these books and these prequels take place about six years before ITW
review 2: A very graphic manga telling the story of a psychiatrist, Asano Katsuya, who is asked to evaluate a sadistic, psychopathic serial killer before his trial. But the murderer starts playing mind games with Katsuya until the good doctor can't distinguish between dream and reality.This is not a manga for fainthearted people. It deals with rape and abuse in very raw, graphic and unapologetic terms. It doesn't try to prettify it or make it okay though it does deal with the beginnings of the Stockholm Syndrome. A very strange but gripping story. less
