I Want To Hold Aono-kun So Badly I Could Die, Vol. 1 by Umi Shiina
2.0
I picked up this manga simply because it was on Kindle Unlimited and looked to be a cute, paranormal type shojo HOWEVER I WAS VERY MISTAKEN.
This is a horror manga??? In this story two weeks after our main character (forgot her name) starts dating her classmate Aono-kun, he dies in a traffic accident and shortly after she starts seeing his ghost. She's excited to be able to see him of course HOWEVER sometimes he gets a dark look in his eyes and possesses her??? Says creepy shit??
This somehow toes the line of being a creepy, unexpected horror manga and cute shojo but with weirdness to it. In the first chapter I was like "wow I hate this seems dramatic" and now at the end I'm like "but wait.... is this a demon boy hmmm intrigued". she is totally bonkers like "YEAH PLZ POSSESS ME USE MY BODY ALL YOU WANT LOVE THAT" I think it'd be interesting if we discover that maybe he is not a demon at all but this creepy part of him is actually part of his personality because she really didn't know him at all prior to his death let's be real. She asked him out on a whim.
Maybe I'll continue reading it just because it's on Kindle Unlimited but I can't say it's good per say just odd enough to be compelling.
Also wanted to add that I'm not a fan of the art style in this. I feel this kind of story would benefit from a style more so in the realm of Shuzo Oshimi.
