Miscreants and Mayhem by Brothers without a tomorrow

[reviews_and_ramblings]

 

“I missed you, Dad. Did you miss me too?” Gang member Ryu Nanmu may be one of the top dogs in his “organization,” but in life he’s hit rock bottom. He dreamed of building a family once, with his boss’ mistress and her son Pil-gyun, but he’s had to pay dearly for coveting something that could never be his. After several long years, the hope for a family had become barely anything more than a nostalgic memory for Nanmu...until a grown-up Pil-gyun dramatically reappears in Nanmu’s life. Except, this isn’t the child that Nanmu remembers. Pil-gyun is calculated, deadly, and obsessively in love with him. Although Nanmu knows he should put an end to this futile relationship, Pil-gyun’s tender words of love can’t help but tug at his heartstrings…

My Rate: 8 (www.lezhinus.com/en/comic/miscreants)

In general I like the story from Brothers without a tomorrow, and Miscreants and Mayhem is no exception. Sure you have to go over the fact that, at the base of the story there is the fact that Ryu Nanmu is the victim of continuous rape for years, and that Pil-gyun is not exactly his saviour, but probably yet another man who takes advantage of Ryu. Ryu is yes a mafia boss, but he is also an abused child, someone who, instead of reacting to abuses with even more abuses, is someone who dreams for a family, for an ordinary life, for love... Pil-gyun fills that void, in his own perverted way. Anyway, as usual, the graphic is perfect, and the story, a little twisted and contorted, is indeed original.
