Why read it?
1 author picked Pleasure & Corruption, Volume 1 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
You Someya's "Pleasure and Corruption" is a challenging and unflinching dive into the psychology of shame, desire, and the blurred lines between torment and connection. The most striking aspect is the role reversal. The narrative focuses on male vulnerability and objectification, a refreshing and rare perspective in the genre. If you enjoy psychologically intense manga like "The Flowers of Evil" or "Scum's Wish," which explore the darker sides of human relationships, "Pleasure and Corruption" is a must-read. It's a brave, unsettling, and beautifully drawn series that dares to ask uncomfortable questions about desire and the nature of being "broken."
