Midnight Rain

What I liked

— The character art is gorj.

— It was nice to see some age and body diversity (even if only some body hair)

— The general concept was interesting.

What I didn't like

— I was uncomfortable with the lack of consent. Almost DNFed.

— The plot was barely there. The threads were real loose, y'all (maybe that's the trade-off for a standalone?). It touched on some heavy themes — poverty, crime, suicide, codependence — but didn't have much to say about them (or at all; pretty surface level).

— I'm no stranger to reading manga and following panels, but some of the panels in this I had absolutely no clue what I was looking at and couldn't even make sense of them using context clues. That might be on me though.
