Boy, this book is bleak. However, the level of cruelty is not as exaggerated as the manga adaptation.
Graphic: Addiction, Alcohol, Misogyny, Suicide attempt, Toxic friendship, Cultural appropriation, Mental illness, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, Alcoholism, Death, and Grief
Moderate: Sexual harassment, Sexual violence, Drug abuse, Death of parent, Abandonment, Drug use, Domestic abuse, Infidelity, Injury/Injury detail, and Rape
Minor: Body shaming, Bullying, Death of parent, Child abuse, and War
A lot of trauma is between the lines, especially in his childhood. Also, if you experience anxiety and depression, brace yourself for a difficult read.
