Though they are nightmares (and not “really” happening), the sexual situations are disturbing, and involve bloodshed. I think this manga would be better classified as horror. I would not classify this as yaoi because it is not a love story not even a so-called rape fantasy. Thereafter, the story shifts between the actual interviews and Asano’s nightmares – all violent, vivid and extremely graphic. And the first such nightmare immediately follows the prologue, in explicit detail. Soon after he agrees to interview the killer, Asano begins having horrific nightmares of being violently raped by him. However, it was an excellent tool to give the reader background to set the stage. The book opens with a prose prologue, which is unusual in manga/yaoi. What I didn’t expect was the violent sexual imagery (since it’s listed as yaoi, I had anticipated Asano having a lover & romance outside the case). From the synopsis, I expected this to be a dark story: a serial killer is willing to talk, but only to the police psychiatrist who helped orchestrate his capture.
