Killing Stalking is...a strange, weird, what the fuck did I just read but can't stop reading type of story.

So from the title you get a idea of what it is about. There's our main hero, Bum, who falls in love with a guy he sees on the train. So what's the next logical step for him? Get his phone number? Ask him out? Nah. Break into his house of course. When he does that he begins to masterbate and sniff the guys pillow/bed. Oh is this too much for you? Just wait.

Bum hears a noise, goes down to the basement, and is met with a naked girl strung up. He tries to free her like a decent person but then Sangwoo, the guy who's house Bum broke into, is behind him with a baseball bat. You now find out Sangwoo is actually a insane person, a serial killer, who is ready to chop chop chop anyone he wants. Except Bum begins to fall in love with Sangwoo...what the fuck do we have here ladies and gentlemen? It's Misery meets Hannibal with a gay twist!

Good: The art is pretty solid. Everyone has a distinct look and no one looks the same which is nice. The story gets more and more twisted as it goes on. The sex scenes are there, and they are in your face (no blowjob joke pun intended...okay maybe a little) but honestly they seem a core part of this story and not fanservice. There's also a charming feature with Sangwoo despite him being a crazy psycho killing machine. Kind of like Hannibal.

Bad: The shocking reactions are a bit overdone. Sometimes get four to five pages of the same face with little change, and same dialogue. This is a manga cliche I hate. I also think Bum is a really annoying character. I get there are weak people out there but holy shit man do something...

Overall it's dirty, nasty, scary, and yet it's really intriguing. I couldn't stop reading once I started and read all of season 1 (Which is chapters 1-19). Want something dark and twisted, yet erotic, and you don't mind some gay and straight sex mixed in? Try Killing Stalking! A 3.5 out of 5. I'll bump it to a 4.
