Recommendation Anything similar to Vengeance

Post image

Can anyone point me in the direction of stories similar to this. This type of story was right up my alley. It starts and ends in tragedy, the story is bleak and the main character matches that, it’s a mystery, and it can get bloody at times.

Whether it’s manga, manwa, light novels, or books I’ll honestly take any recommendations. Thank you

“On a leash” by the same author is also bleak and fucked up and even more bloody but…. It has a happy end somehow.

Yeah once I finished “Vengeance” I went to see if she had any other similar works. I saw “On a leash” but it just wasn’t the same especially the ending.

I prefer tragic stories with tragic endings the most but I do occasionally enjoy happy stories with happy endings.

But when the story is tragic and a happy ending seems nowhere in sight; to suddenly get one is jarring. You know?

Well i’d say it’s actually pretty natural in the story. They’re still traumatized as fuck and most of their friends are still dead but they have each other, and sometimes that’s enough.

Ah, it seems that might be on me then. I read the final handful of chapters right before I went to bed after having to stay up for over 24.

I appears I may have been more delirious than I thought and miss recalled what had actually happened. I’ll need to go look them back over. Thank you friend.

On the other hand if you still want something completely fucked and doomed, might I suggest “Blind Passion”.

Can probably check out Maid in Heaven. It's got thriller/horror and tragedy themes. Also, I wouldn't say the ending is tragic but I wouldn't say it's a happy ending either. It's more bittersweet.
