Blood on the Tracks, Vol. 5 by Shuzo Oshimi
4.0
We’ve finally reached the moment of a sexual awakening for Seiichi— in which he can’t even begin to understand yet explore because psycho mommy is embedded, encrusted, and encrypted deep in this poor kid’s mind.
It was disturbing to read, nonetheless.
A mother so distressingly interwoven with her little boy that he’s having thoughts, flashbacks, and actively thinking of her during moments of pleasure. I’m just— shaking my head. I’m ill.
This is one of the most traumatic volumes yet.
And Seiko is a rampant, meticulous stalker.
Fukiishi Yuiko might be an active protector— a defiant young lady, and Sei’s girlfriend— but something is off with her, it just feels too good to be true. We get to see her bug out for just a fleeting moment, but my eyes are open. Nothing ever goes right in Blood on the Tracks.
Very little dialogue in this volume once again— but the panels tell the story vividly. If you have childhood trauma of any type, this may be a difficult volume to stomach.
Sei’s trauma is huge— it seeps through the pages. His emotions are absolutely all over the place, and I feel so deeply for him. I’m ready to see what goes down next.
