Ai to Noroi

A manga about a girl who is sexually molested by her father that traumatizes her for the rest of her life.

We discussed this on a recent episode.

This is one of the most powerful and disturbing series I’ve ever read. There is such an strong emotional connection you feel from the pages as you read about this young girl who is abandoned from any form of salvation around her. Her mother won’t intervene against her father’s sexual assault and she’s shunned at school after she rejects the local religion everyone buys into. What follows is a real downward spiral of tragedy as she solicits herself to strangers, becomes a shut-in, and can’t find happiness in a marriage. To top it all off, this is semi-autobiographical. My heart aches at the thought of Fumiko Fumi going through any amount of these awful things.

It finished it’s run on Kurage Bunch and I would love for it to get an official release someday.
