I just finished God Child, and even now i think it will have a huge effect on me. for one, i didn't mind reading this at night. second, i didn't mind looking at the gore and the creepy stuff despite the fact that i was usually eating cup ramen while reading this. and lastly, this would probably be the only shoujo manga that i would really really REALLY love with all my manga-loving heart, mind and soul. It's just...too perfect for words. Thanks to Kuroshitsuji for getting me to read God Child ^^
There were moments where i really wanted to stop reading or else i wouldn't be able to sleep, but Cain just totally pulls me in for some weird psychotic reason. I really like Cain, he has this sort of... devilish, very noble despite the ill reputation he had earned yet graceful and selfless. Now does that remind you of someone *wink wink* His relationship with his butler, is totally borderline homosexual for me. Not that i mind though. The moment Riff betrayed Cain, i thought i wouldn't be able to read on. There was really good development for their relationship, so Cain's reaction when Riff betrayed him was very believable and sort of got into me. Haha, yeah... i get so emotional with mangas xD And in the end, when the Riff that Cain new came back, i felt like my heart was bursting. Even if their reunion in this world didn't last, i'm pretty sure they're walking the path of Hell hand in hand.
The scene where Riff held Cain in his arms in an embrace, when the tower was crumbling down, made me burst into tears. It was the most beautiful thing i've seen in a manga, I mean, counting the scenes leading to this part. The things that Riff did just to return to his master...so very touching T____T. I'm sad for Merryweather though. He didn't get to see his "niisan" again, coz Cain broke the promise to return so they'll have a tea party at the garden. My heart broke at that part too. But i'm pretty sure Oscar will take care of her ^^
And Augusta is such a psycho ass bitch. I swear, she ruined their entire family with all her psychotic thoughts. But i must agree that she's great as an antagonist. Even in the end, when Alexis died and said "Cain...that is a beautiful name..." i cried. Even when Jizabel slit his own throat to give Riff more time and get to Cain, i cried.
There's just so much emotion in this manga, i can hardly contain it if i didn't write about it. I think i would explode =_= And omg the song just changed to Friends by Stephanie = makes things even sadder.
Now, i better go find myself another gothic manga to read. If you haven't read God Child, READ IT NOW.
