#so far the story of heartslabyul was like 95% the same i think

[riddlerosehearts]

and the manga does another extremely cool thing with riddle's overblot after his flashback ends!!

i wish i had the brain cells to properly analyze what i love about this. i think i just absoutely love the imagery of seeing baby riddle all alone surrounded by nothing but books as he talks about dreaming of eating sweets and playing outside, and then him in his overblot form still surrounded by the books but stumbling over them, getting trapped by them, like the innocent child that he once was being utterly lost and destroyed by the pressure he's under. and then the way that we see him reaching for not just any door, but the same door from alice in wonderland, it being the only light that remains. and the way that when he wakes up...

we get to see how the one who pulled him out of the darkness was trey, his childhood friend calling his name and gripping his hand. i mean, yes, trey calls his name in the game too, but actually seeing how the manga chose to portray this has got me so emotional what the fuck.

#ugh i love the manga i'm so glad i finally got around to reading it #so far the story of heartslabyul was like 95% the same i think #which is fine because the game already told a wonderful story #but also it's limited by what they can do with the live2d models and i just love seeing the expressiveness of the manga art #riddle rosehearts #trey clover #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland manga #twst manga
