mary-land, новые главы выходят в оригинале, но очень медленно. А здесь новых глав нет из-за проблем с правообладателями. Одна с*** накатала авторам донос. Они обратились к администрации сайта с просьбой удалить их работу отсюда, что и было сделано. В результате переводчики бросили работу, так что теперь непонятно, будет продолжение на русском или нет. А в оригинале можно купить без всяких проблем, это да.

Серия про Кацую — аж жжет. В принципе, можно скинуться и купить уже все эти тома на английском. Дороговато, конечно, но если с каждого по полтиннику собрать, то нормально. Как такая идея?

Asano Katsuya is a US trained psychiatrist who has been recruited by the Tokyo Police Department to provide a profile through the victims’ data. Based on Asano’s profile and recommendation, an elaborate plan is put into place to lure the serial killer out – a plan that bore successful results! Now, after three years and twelve victims, Shinohara Keiji is finally in police custody. Shinohara has promised a thorough confession, however, on the absolute terms that Asano has to be the one to receive it. Besides the curious request by the killer whom Asano was only familiar with on paper, disturbing nightmares begin to plague him as soon as he’s given the case…

**Ordering details below** Look what the mailman dragged in today! My copy. Aaaghgh! It finally arrived.

Can I lick it?

YES I CAN!

So I suppose it’s a good thing that I got impatient and tracked down another copy, because it took forever for this one to be shipped to me. The other one I swear I will not lick.

I’m going to post a few phone snapshots in a bit, but let me tell you this first: It’s like In These Words was created especially for me. The art is super-gorgeous, never sloppy. The story itself so deliciously, excitingly twisted and sick. It has the exact sort of fucked up psychological experimenting in it that intrigues me.

Also, reading In These Words will make your IQ go up like 10 points, because they chose to present this yaoi in its original form. Meaning that you’ll have to start at the other end and read from the right to the left, top to bottom, just not upside down. I love it! It adds to the atmosphere.

…my oh my…mindblowing art combined with an intense and dark and disturbing story..consider all my boxes ticked. Fuck yeah!

And although some reviewers mentioned that this should be called horror rather than yaoi, screw them! Screw everyone. To have someone lick your blood, to be told by a serial killer that he…well, see below..

Can it get any more swoon-worthy romantic than this?:p

I mean, LOOK AT IT..

Man, this is like being 11 years old all over again and falling in love with Cutter from freaking Elfquest. Look how spectacularly well they portrayed both MC’s. Look at those emotions swirling through their eyes, look at those faces, those….ahhh!

Noooo Shinohara! Not all Dutch wives are boring…pick me! Pick me! Beh heh he.

Pom, pom, pom…

A bunch of tasty teasers….

Where to get your copy?
Since this was somewhat confusing to me, I included ordering details: Volume 1 (chapters 1-5) used to be $16,- on Amazon (€12,55). However, it’s no longer in stock. So if you order your copy from Amazon, it’ll probably never show up! Instead, you’ll find mostly used copies on Amazon and Ebay with prices that will go up from $80,- to $300,-. The reason? Volume 1 is getting rare! This is what the authors had to say about it on guiltpleasure.tumblr.com:

«ITW manga’s been out of print a month after its issue. DMI (the licensor) had assured us that they will not be republishing that title nor others (except Hentai) until at least JUNE. We have no hand in printing and reprinting the manga. Please do write to DMI to encourage them to reprint the ITW manga or likely, your order from Amazon’s not going to happen.»

I found that if you search the internet, there are still a few pretty decently priced copies out there. Another option is to buy the ebooks via Kobo. This will allow you to still read the chapters 1-5 (they’re currently working on making 6, 7 and 8 ebook proof too). However, you have to take into account that the quality just isn’t as amazing and your ebook may not be compatible with your ereader (at least not with my Sony), but I managed to read it just fine on my iPad. Otherwise, just order the individual chapters from the Guilt Pleasure website (if they’re not out of stock again, that is. *sigh*).

Something else; In These Words has these bloody cliffhangers, so it’s good to know that «It will be another year before we have enough material for Vol. 2 but we are likely to do a trade for chapter 6-10. For now, it is released chapter by chapter until then.

Anyway, if you’ll excuse me? I’m going to try all of this stuff at home now. Bye!

Holy shite! This one was a total mind f**k! I was so scared for Katsuya and this new case involving a serial killer. I’m not sure at this point WTH is going on! Is what we saw something from his past or is this just a brilliant plan to get on the killers mind? Well whatever it is can’t to find out.

Meet my latest obsession…

A few years ago Nikyta introduced me to yaoi, and since then I’ve read a few here and there, along with some other styles of graphic art stories…especially the webcomic Teahouse (now that’s another obsession of a different color). Then one day I was scrolling through all of the amazing photography «art» on Tumblr *cough*, and came across the cover art for In These Words and thought to myself, “Hmm, this is pretty!” And next thing I knew, I had read Chapter 1 (twice) on Kobo and ordered the paper version Volume 1 from Amazon Prime. So here I was, anxiously checking my doorstep for three days and the book NEVER arrives. NEVER!! All I can think about is one of my neighbors has received my package and is either closet-ly reading my smut, or burning it in their fireplace while they pray over the Bible. So I immediately contacted Amazon, and two days later I had the book in my hands! Of course I started with Ch 1 (again), then got halfway through Ch. 2 and put it down. Why? Because I knew right then that I didn’t want to continue reading until I had all 10 chapters (that are currently released) in my possession! Obsessed much?? Soooo, I have since read Ch 1-5 which are included in Vol 1. I’m stopping before I move on to Ch 6 to write an unswayed review covering only Vol. 1. You should feel special because all I really want to do is say fuck this review and get me some more Katsuya and Shinohara.

So why am I a bit obsessed with ITW? Well, umm, it touches all those dark, dirty kinks than even I don’t want to admit I find erotic in the light of day. Yes, there is non-con. Yes there is sadism. Yes, there is knife play. Yes, there are improbable declarations of love. But when Shinohara is fucking Katsuya and licking his blood and telling him that he loves him… Fuck it, I admit I’m disturbed! There’s just something about these two…and I NEED to know more.

So what is this story really about? Well, first there is Katsuya, a psychiatrist that has played the key role in profiling and capturing a serial killer…Shinohara. As Katsuya is about to be sequestered until he can extract a confession from Shinohara, he starts having sado-sexual dreams/nightmares of Shinohara holding him captive and raping him…yet, he has never met Shinohara. I really don’t want to give away anymore details of the plot, but Ch 5 ends with a huge cliffhanger. I mean HUGE that will obviously change the direction this story is headed. I have no clue where THAT is because I still haven’t gotten a grasp on what is really going on!!! And instead of finding out, I’m sitting here writing this stinking review!

*Focus Heather* So I’m supposed to be giving my opinion on Vol. 1, but I feel it is necessary that I bring the individual printed chapters into the discussion…the two just don’t compare! While Vol. 1 is compact and affordable, the individual chapters are GORGEOUS!! Larger and the covers are texture and beautiful! Quite pricey but totally worth it when you have an obsession like mine. (Denial at this point would be a joke.) Some chapters are available in eBook at Kobo…my obsession has yet to bring me that far.

The story is gripping.
The art is amazing.

What the fuck is going on!!!

I bought the doujinshi one episode (1-7)at a time and I think if you can grab them, you should. The qualty of the printing and the cover textures are sinfully amazing. Now as for the storyline, holy crappola! I like dark and tangy, with a dash of Frank’s red hot sauce but this has all the fixings that a dark minded gal like me loves.

You have an beautiful intellectual uke, Katsuya Asano who is brought into the picture by the police to get a suspected serial killer to confess. The killer, charismatic and deadly, Shinohara has requested the physcologist by name and will only cooperate with him. Once there, Asano begins to have horrific night terrors of rape and mutilation at the hands of an unseen assailant each night. During the day he spars with Shinohara while drawing out the chilling details of how the killer stalked his chosen prey.

At one point in a session Asano gets lost in a recollection, I’d call it post traumatic stress disorder (PTSP)and Shinohara strikes out like cobra, so quick and purposeful leaving Asano to be rescued by the cop watchdog. Shinohara gloats and informs Asano that he had the most satisfying orgasm when he returned to his room after that incident. Asano has pulled his professional facade back into place but Shinohara has seen the chink in the armor and has no qualms about exploiting it.

The graphics are just that…graphic. If darkness is not your cuppa, avoid this with all costs. However, I like this. I love this. I love the fact that there is more going on that simple dominance and brute strength. There are pages of text at the beginning of some chapters and they lay out the tone and scope of the upcoming scene.

PS:
Asano also appears in prequels: Father Figure — another dark distrubing piece and New York Minute — showing the beginning of his career in the States with a cop lover.

I got down on my knees before the GuiltPleasure table at Yaoi-con and asked about these books and these prequels take place about six years before ITW

This is a beautifully and well written manga. If you are looking for something more adult in the yaoi genre, this is the best. Very tightly written, with a good mystery wrap around some very attractive characters. This gets high marks and is great with multiple reads.

สิ่งแรกที่ต้องเตรียมตัวเตรียมใจก่อนหนังสือเล่มนี้เลยก็คือ … นี่ไม่ใช่หนังสือโรมานซ์ เนื้อเรื่องจะออกแนวสืบสวนสอบสวน ฆาตกรโรคจิต ซึ่งจะไม่น่าแปลกใจและไม่มีเอกลักษณ์อะไรเลยถ้าผู้วาด/ผู้แต่งไม่ได้ใส่ฉากเซ็กส์ระหว่างผู้ชายสองคนเข้ามาตลอด 5 chapters ที่ก่อนหน้านี้ได้แบ่งขายย่อยออกมาเรื่อยๆ ก่อนที่จะมาลงเอยด้วยการรวมเล่มในท้ายที่สุด

Scope ของหนังสือเล่มนี้ไม่ได้กว้างมากเท่าไร แต่ก็ไม่ได้แคบด้วยเช่นกัน ผู้แต่งพรีเซ้นต์ความวิปลาสของฆาตกรโดยยัดเซ็กซ์ซีนแบบ non-consensual เข้ามาตูมๆๆๆ และที่น่าแปลกเข้าไปใหญ่ก็คือเนื้อหาสั้นๆ(มาก)เพียงไม่กี่บท แต่ทำให้เราเห็นความลึกและมิติของตัวละครได้มากมายขนาดนี้ แม้ว่าเนื้อเรื่องเล่มแรกจะยังไม่มีอะไรมาก เหมือนชิ้นส่วนจิ๊กซอว์ที่กระจัดกระจายอยู่ แต่นั่นก็เพียงพอแล้วที่จะทำให้เราอยากอ่านเล่มต่อไปมากขึ้นเรื่อยๆ

เราใช้เวลาทำความเข้าใจนานมากในการ ซึ่งไม่รู้เราเข้าใจถูกรึเปล่านะ แต่เราเดาว่า

แอบงงตรงที่ว่า…ฉากที่ฆาตกรจับคัตสึยะไปข่มขืนน่าจะเกิดขึ้นก่อนปัจจุบัน แต่เรื่องนี้น่าจะเล่นกับสภาวะทางจิตไม่น้อยเลย เหมือนกับนิยายแนวสืบสวนของต่างประเทศก็ว่าได้ ลึกลับซับซ้อนดี ชอบๆ เล่มนี้เหมือนกับเกริ่นนำ ไม่ได้มีอะไรให้รู้สึกน่าตื่นเต้นมากมาย คิดว่าเล่มต่อไปต้องดีกว่าเล่มนี้แน่ๆ

ให้ Chapter 1-4 = 3 ดาว และ Chapter 5 = 3.5 ดาว

Meisterhaft. Was für eine packende und intensive Story. Man fragt sich die ganze Zeit, was fiktv und was echt ist und was hinter dem ganzen steckt. Dabei werden die verdammt expliziten Szenen total zur Nebensache. Ich habe den Manga in der Bahn angefangen und glücklicherweise am Bahnhof gleich den 2. Band gefunden und sofort mitgenommen.
Extrem drückende, mit Gefahr aufgeladene Atmosphäre auch dank des Zeichnstils. Anfangs fand ich ihn mit seiner extremen Schattierung und den klaren Linien irgendwie billig, aber mittlwerweile habe ich mich daran geöhnt. Es passt einfach sehr gut zur Story. Außerdem habe ich einen kleinen Narren an Katsuya gefressen… schlimm…
Zwar kostet dieser Band stolze 10€, ich bereue aber keinen Cent davon. Die Aufmachung ist extrem hochwertig (gummiertes Cover, Großformat, Goodies) und die Story lässt einen nicht mehr los. Ich habe so das Gefühl, dass ich die nächsten Bände genauso verschlingen werde (Gott sei Dank kommt morgen der dritte Band raus!)
Aber DISCLAIMER: Ist zurecht ab 18 freigegeben. Enthält viel (sexuelle) Gewalt!

Edit 2021: Ich bin nicht minder beeindruckt. Einfach ein sehr intensives Leseerlebnis mit viel Tiefe und Liebe zum Detail.

Definitely check trigger warnings before reading this!!! (Rape, Sexual Violence, Sexual Content, Murder, Body Horror, Gore/Blood to just name a few)
•••
This is a very dark and mind twisting psychological thriller about a sexually violent serial killer and a psychiatrists who helped in said serial killer’s capture and is now trying to get a confession out of him.

The lines between what’s actually happening and what is just Katsuya’s (the psychiatrist) imagination are very blurred and leave you with loads of questions on what’s actually going on.
•••
The artwork is very well done and while the content definitely left me sick and disturbed, I really appreciate the style that was used and the care for details.

I think the story itself is also quite well crafted. You can definitely tell that the creators did their research and really thought this whole project through.
•••
Now to how this story made me feel. I felt quite disturbed by the content and the sexually violent scenes definitely made me very uncomfortable but at the same time this story captured my attention and I want to know what’s going to happen next. It’s just really messed up. Yeah, I think that describes it best.

(That’s me and Katsuya by the way, soon he will break out to be with meee!)

The story in the first five chapters is chilling, brutal, awesome and addictive; A mass-murderer demanding to speak to one person only, the Psychiatrist and profiler that helped capture him. Now doesn’t that sound like a juicy premise! It is like watching an especially deviant psychological thriller (with a lot of non-con thrown in).
The pictures are very graphic, but oh-so-beautiful in their savagery. As many reviews have pointed out, this story is not for the sensitive.

I find myself already fangirling over the characters and everything related, and it only just started:-). Since all these stores end with QUITE some cliff-hangers, I am also happy that I entered into this universe relatively late, since all I have to do is keep reading. And thank you loederkoningin for having that hot picture on your profile, since I would never have found this series without it:-)

From the synopsis, I expected this to be a dark story: a serial killer is willing to talk, but only to the police psychiatrist who helped orchestrate his capture. What I didn’t expect was the violent sexual imagery (since it’s listed as yaoi, I had anticipated Asano having a lover & romance outside the case). The book opens with a prose prologue, which is unusual in manga/yaoi. However, it was an excellent tool to give the reader background to set the stage. Soon after he agrees to interview the killer, Asano begins having horrific nightmares of being violently raped by him. And the first such nightmare immediately follows the prologue, in explicit detail. Thereafter, the story shifts between the actual interviews and Asano’s nightmares – all violent, vivid and extremely graphic.

I would not classify this as yaoi because it is not a love story; not even a so-called rape fantasy. I think this manga would be better classified as horror. Though they are nightmares (and not “really” happening), the sexual situations are disturbing, and involve bloodshed. This manga is not for the faint of heart. However, the graphic rapes do fit the serial killer storyline. I gave this five stars, not as a yaoi romance, but as a horror novel. Though the ending was predictable, I am still interested in reading volume 2. Especially considering this closes on a cliffhanger. Overall, recommended to those looking for a dark, edgy manga, but those expecting romantic yaoi should consider themselves warned.

Katsuya Asano is a psychologist who is called in by the police to interview a serial killer they’ve captured. During this process he begins having nightmares and flashbacks about his own possible abduction. While he tries to deal with the images invading his mind, he also has to deal with the serial killer who starts to take a particular interest in him.

Asano presents himself as a silent, strong character who deals with some of the darkest minds and personalities along with some of the most stubborn and macho policemen and detectives. You really start to see his strength and weakness come through in the flashes of his possible abduction and in dealing with the serial killer. There’s two mysteries in this story so far, one being about the serial killer’s victims and the other about Asano himself. Are the flashes he’s getting of himself being abducted real or is it some type of psychological sympathy with the victims?

The story is interesting, the mystery pulls you in, and the artwork is gorgeous.

ITW is intense and covers the topics of murder and rape in graphic detail so, if you don’t have a taste for these subjects or are sensitive to these themes, you might want to pass on reading this or read keeping the warning in mind.

2020 reread: I finally have all three volumes (in German) and it’s a great psychological thriller. The art is really stunning too.

Initial review

First of all, let me gloat about the edition that I’m holding in my hands right now:

A few years ago, the German publishing house of Tokyopop had the genius idea of publishing certain works as «Perfect Editions», which are hard cover editions of the works with a bigger format and color pages inside.
Now, to why I am so happy I just spent 15€ on a two-hundred page manga:
In These Words is awesome!
Sure, this is just the first volume and it’s pretty hazy in what’s to come (and even what happened!), but the authors are doing their very best to create a perfect work of art inspite of Tokyopop’s relentless efforts to ruin everything with their terrible translation.
And yes, the translation is quite awful. It’s so awful I actually contemplated getting a kobo and spend dozens of euros just to read the original.
Tokyopop tried really hard to transform this manga into some normal yaoi, which was much more disturbing than the actual rape fantasy content of In These Words.

I won’t say anything about the story because there isn’t really much to say without spoiling everything…
but lest it to say that I can’t wait for volume 2! I hope it comes out soon so I can get myself another hopelessly overpriced and mistranslated hard cover edition of it :)

Ok so if you are looking at this and thinking about reading it I just need to try to make you understand: this is an EXTREMELY explicit M/M manga with rape / non-con / gore / murder / mutilation / probably every other fucked up thing you can think of in it so if you don’t like that or don’t want to read things like that then you should definitely skip this one. I would recommend it to fans of Killing Stalking although this is [in my opinion] much more explicit and definitely gets to that point a LOT faster.

I am a bit disappointed with the actual plot at this point because I feel like it lacks a certain subtlety that other things like Killing Stalking have [or Hannibal or Killing Eve, but those are legit TV shows and not just glorified porn], but the art is absolutely GORGEOUS and there’s sex in every chapter so I’m definitely enjoying it. ;) Also I was kind of confused about what was going at first but eventually figured out that the police-therapist guy is just having dreams about the murderer and that they hadn’t actually met before [or at least I THINK that’s what’s happening, guess I’ll have to read the next volume lol]

มาพูดในแง่ของการสะสม…ก็นับว่าควรค่า รูปเล่มนับว่าดีงาม ใช้กระดาษอาร์ตราคาแพงทุกแผ่น (แต่ส่วนตัวยังลังเลว่าจะอยากสะสมดีรึป่าว?)

มาพูดถึงเนื้อหา… ณ เล่มแรก ตัวเนื้อเรื่องมีไม่มาก อ่านแป๊บเดียวก็จบ ส่วนใหญ่คิดว่าคนแต่งใส่ทั้งบทพูดและฉาก เพื่อเซอร์วิสขาวายเต็มๆ จึงไม่แปลกที่จะเป็นที่ถูกอกถูกใจกับแฟนๆสายนี้

มาพูดถึงงานภาพ…ถือว่าดีงามอีก ลายเส้นสวยนะ โดยเฉพาะคุณหมอ คือหล่อมากกกก >///<

มาพูดถึงฉากเรท…จัดว่า ..เยอะ.. แต่ก็แค่ในระดับหนึ่ง (เอ๊ะ ย้งไงของมัน 555) คือมันก็มีแทรกเข้ามาในทุกๆบท แต่ไม่ได้ลงลึกเป็นสเต็ปๆ แม้ภาพมันจะเรทแบบโหดจิต เห็นอวัยวะบ้าง (>//<) แต่ก็ไม่ถึงกับรับไม่ได้ แค่จะมี���ลั้นใจตามไปบ้างเท่านั้น >__<

Beautiful artwork and an intriguing story, but now I’m just annoyed because there’s a cliffhanger ending and apparently there’s no way for me to continue reading. Volume 2 doesn’t appear to be available anywhere. Such a bummer.

If I look at my rating for each chapter it would be a 4 star read. But only since each taken for itself is just so short. As a whole I keep it 5 stars.

The drawings are awesome! I figure it’s difficult to draw so expressive.

Since it’s just the beginning of a very complex story there are many mysteries discovered but as good as nothing solved.

To be honest, if I wouldn’t have bought the whole volume 1 which includes chapter 1-5 and had to purchase it over the webpage of Guilt Pleasure, I wouldn’t have continued or even started the series. The shipping costs would have killed every interest I’d have had.

If non-con is a big no-no for you, you should think twice about reading!

**************************************************

Thanks to Therese who recommanded this piece of Art to me!

Since I read some mangas in my teens I didn’t have to adjust too hard to the special reading. (Right to left.)

The pictures were drawn really great and the story was very intriguing!
But….

Aaaaaarg…. Bad cliffhanger!

I ordered In These Words, Vol. 2 right away and can hardly wait for it to arrive!

Another manga borrowed from Kati :-)!

Asano Katsuya is a highly trained psychiatrist who plays a crucial part in the capture a serial killer, Shinohara Keiji, who likes to torture his victims for weeks before finally killing them.

The case doesn’t end there, however, as Shinohara will only give his confession to Asano. At the same time Asano starts to have nightmares about being captured and sexually tortured by Shinohara.

Warning! This is a very dark tale with graphic depictions of sexual violence and male rape, but I liked it.

I liked Shinohara’s obsession with Asano, and how profiling Shinohara meant that the man was already under Asano’s skin before they even started their sessions. I would have liked to see how things would have progressed after Shinohara got his hands on Asano for real, but Kati says there’s no sign of a second volume.

Kati also says it reminds her of the TV show Hannibal and the little I’ve seen of the show so far, I would agree!

An intense psychological thriller, with a serial killer playing mind games with a psychiatrist. The illustrations are beautiful as the story is dark. These kinds of stories aren’t really my thing, but I got caught up in Katsuya’s confusion over his reactions to the killer. Is he having nightmares because he’s empathizing with the victims? Are they portending future events to come, or are they manifestations of a previous connection with the killer? I hope these answers are revealed soon as the story ends in a major cliffie. Poor Katsuya I wonder what’s going to happen. Definitely looking forward to reading the next volume.

Dark, gritty, mind twisting. Physiological thriller (volume 1) of a sexually violent serial killer and a physchiatrist who had profiled his capture. I’m a big fan of Jo Chen’s (TogaQ) artwork and Neko knows how to write crime/police drama. These two make an excellent team!!

Delightfully creepy. Nothing half-assed about this. No «he might still be a good guy» or anything. And what a cliff-hanger!

Somehow, I must be very dumb or living in a cave because I didn’t know this was yaoi. I’d heard about it as a very good and dark crime/thriller manga, and it is. So, not only is it yaoi, but it is a very dark thrillery-crimey one. There’s a lot of triggers in here : rape, torture, mental manipulation, violence and so on. Aaand quite a few graphic sex scenes. Do NOT give this to your little brother, sister or your bigoted grandma.

This first book was very good ; characterisation is developed and nuanced, the art is beautiful, the plot very engaging. However, it’s still «just» good crime and mystery with pretty much what is the most disturbing «couple» ever.

One thing I can tell us that volume 2 is far, far better and puts everything that annoyed me in book one upside down. PLEASE don’t stop at book one.

Das war mit Abstand das Verstörendste, was ich je in meinem Leben gelesen habe.
Ich kann da wirklich nicht mehr zu sagen! Ich werde diesem Manga auch keine Bewertung geben, aber eine klare Empfehlung an jeden der es doch lesen möchte: lies die Triggerwarnings!
Stay safe everyone

Man muss aber fairer Weise sagen es ist extrem gut geschrieben, der Psycho-mind-fuck ist gegeben, der Art style ist fabulous und das Verschwimmen von Traum und Realität ein Masterpiece

Who controls who? note 

In These Words is a thriller/mystery Manga written by Narcissus (aka Kichiku Neko) and illustrated by Jun Togai (aka Toga Q) who form the creative duo Guilt Pleasure. The story is centred around the complicated events that surround Katsuya Asano and Keiji Shinohara.

Katsuya Asano is a world-recognized profiler who has been brought in to investigate a series of unusually gruesome murders of young men in Tokyo. The alleged perpetrator, Keiji Shinohara, has been arrested and is being set up for interrogation. Unbeknownst to Katsuya, Shinohara has actually requested to be cat-scanned by him. As the interrogation goes on, Katsuya starts having very strange nightmares that feel way too real and seem to be linked to the strange scars on his back. During these Dream Sequences, a man whose face is constantly shrouded in shadows tortures and rapes him, all while claiming to love him to death.

Moreover, Shinohara seems to be perfectly aware of the dreams of his interrogator, which troubles Katsuya even more. But are these truly dreams? Or are they deeply repressed memories? And is Shinohara really the murderer that Asano is looking for? As the line between dream and reality starts to fade, Asano wonders if he isn’t starting to become insane himself, all while Shinohara seems to be playing with him, including sexually…

In more ways than one, In These Words stands out from the usual Yaoi production, mostly due to the thickness of the plot and the exquisite artwork. While it doesn’t skimp on the explicit sex scenes, some of these scenes can border on Fan Disservice, given the unusual setting. And the overall atmosphere, constantly striding the line between dreams, madness and reality reminds strangely of the works of Satoshi Kon.

Currently, there are 3 tomes released in English-speaking countries and a fourth one is to be released in 2021. A total of 12 prequels have also been published, explaining a bit further on both characters’ backstory.

The Guilt Pleasure team has a website dedicated to this series along with the prequels here.


This manga contains examples of:

  • All Just a Dream: What Katsuya sometimes believes all of this may be.
  • Alone with the Psycho: Asano’s nightmares often envision this scenario. Ironically, it’s also what happens to him in real life. Twice.
  • Amnesiac Lover: Turns out Katsuya and Keiji have been involved with each other long before the story starts proper. But for some reason, Katsuya cannot remember anything about that.
  • Animal Motif: The raven, for obvious reasons, to symbolize death and mystery.
  • Big Guy Fatality Syndrome: Iwamoto is one of the first named characters shown dying.
  • Cast Full of Gay: Averted. Aside from Asano, Shinohara and Asano’s abductor, nobody is stated as being gay or bisexual.
  • Cast Full of Pretty Boys: Downplayed. With the exception of Shibata, all the main characters are adult men and look it but they’re all very good looking and will readily get shirtless or stark naked.
  • The Chessmaster: Asano believes himself one, but Shinohara seems to be even better at this. Or so it seems.
  • Chromosome Casting: A given for a Yaoi series. Female characters are only there as extras or for minor interactions.
  • Criminal Mind Games: Discussed all through the series, be it within Asano’s team or with Shinohara himelf.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: The victims of the serial killer are murdered in a particularly horrific way.
  • Da Chief: Commissioner Kizaki, the man who summoned Asano to solve the case, is a very egregious example of the trope.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Shinohara’s stock in trade. He just loves to push Asano’s buttons.
  • Dream Sequence: All the time. The goal being to display Asano’s shattered mind, constantly obscured by blurry memories and nightmares.
  • Fair Cop: Young Shibata is a rather attractive young man. Shinohara also.
  • Hannibal Lecture: What Shinohara eventually manages to do to Asano. Asano tries it on the man in his nightmares but is unsuccessful. See below.
  • Gold Digger: Invoked. The young student who tries to hit on Keiji at the university where Asano teaches is immediately turned off when he tells her that he’s not rich.
  • If I Can’t Have You�: Asano is the subject of this but from a man whose face he never seems to remember.
  • I Have You Now, My Pretty: Asano’s dreams are pretty much all about this, featuring his abductor getting off on tormenting, abusing, raping and even stabbing him, leaving him with nasty gashes on his back, all while telling him that he loves him.
  • I Love You Because I Can’t Control You: The psycho in Asano’s nightmares says just as much.
  • Interplay of Sex and Violence: Constantly. Sex scenes are present but they all serve a purpose other than mere Fanservice.
  • Lecherous Licking: Too many times to keep score.
  • Left for Dead: Asano’s stalker leaves him for dead in a coffin, in a deserted factory, but Asano wakes up and manages to crawl out to get help.
  • Love Hotels: In one of these, Asano and Shinohara first make out with each other during one of their first undercover missions.
  • Love Makes You Evil: The other thing that the psycho in Asano’s dreams always says.
  • Lust Object: Asano is particularly prone to being this, due to his excessive good looks and his classy and serious attitude all in all.
  • Longing Look: Shinohara often teases Katsuya with this, which really troubles Katsuya.
  • Male Frontal Nudity: Unlike many Yaoi titles, penises are not censored at all in this series. Not even erect ones.
  • Oral Fixation: As Asano and Shinohara share a meal, this is all that Shinohara can watch, thinking that Asano’s way of eating is deeply erotic.
  • Rape as Drama: The rape of Asano by the faceless man who claims to love him isn’t treated as kinky or sexy but as dramatic since Asano is clearly not enjoying it… until that man puts him on drugs that make Asano much more docile and willing.
  • The Reveal: In volume 3, Asano is eventually able to see the face of the man molesting him. But this man isn’t Shinohara, and he can’t name him. See below.
  • Sacrificial Lamb: Such is the fate of Shibata, the naive young cop assigned to help Asano in his tasks and Iwamoto, his stern bodyguard.
  • Serial Killer: The whole premise of the series revolves around this.
  • Sex Is Violence: The defining theme of Asano’s nightmares.
  • Shut Up, Hannibal!: Defied. Despite trying to get under his torturer/rapist’s skin using his advanced knowledge of criminal minds, it only gets Asano silenced by his kidnapper who «punishes» him by slashing his back and raping him.
  • Skeleton Motif: A recurring theme, along with the chess game.
  • Snow Means Death: During Asano’s dreams, it’s often snowing outside.
  • Soft-Spoken Sadist: The Faceless man that tortures and rapes Asano in his dreams is just this. Shinohara also fancies himself as this, especially after he manages to subdue and capture Asano, treating him exactly like the man in his dreams. But they’re not the same person.
  • Straight Gay: Shinohara and Asano are both rather masculine men.
  • Tall, Dark, and Handsome: Katsuya qualifies with his dark hair and firmly toned body.
  • Tall, Dark, and Snarky: Katsuya again.
  • Tarot Motifs: The third volume is centered around The Tower, hinting at shocking events and revelations.
  • They Look Like Everyone Else: Asano’s conclusion about the serial killer he’s trying to frame. He was 100% correct.
  • The Unreveal: While we eventually get to see Asano’s kidnapper’s face, it is still left unrevealed who he is, why he’s after Asano especially and how he fell in love with him.
  • Villains Out Shopping: Exactly how Katsuya meets his kidnapper and stalker.
  • Yandere: A Rare Male Example is found in the faceless man of Asano’s dreams. Also, a particularly dark version of it.
