Ori no Naka feels like watching a flaming trainwreck, and I do not mean that as an insult. The main characters of this manga are such degenerates, and yet the author does such a good job at making you get into their heads. You understand why they do what they do, even if you disagree or, more likely, feel disgusted. Without going into spoilers (since this is a manga I recommend going into blind), it's about a lonely 29 year old man developing a fetish for his female coworker's used period pads because he's desperate for the touch of a woman. This is just in thefirst chapter mind you; the manga starts off sprinting and it doesn't slow down even a bit.

While I wouldn't say this manga relies on shock value, there's a strong morbid curiosity keeping me coming back each week. Part of me hopes that somehow shit will work out with the main couple. Part of me believes it ends with the MC going to prison. But either way, I look forward to new chapters of this series every Sunday.

The art is VERY pleasing to look at and the author does a great job at using the medium to his advantage, whether that be by emphasizing the female lead's attractiveness or giving scenes a certain sense of dread.

Not for everyone, but if you're like me I fully recommend giving this a go.
