I picked up the manga after the first episode of show aired, am a little disappointed am no sadist but I do want to watch the world burn, his torture method's were a bit lack luster like ye it was a lot of instant pain but for him being drugged for three years and was basically a sex slave like there was some pretty bad stuff but I would had 100% done much worse like mind break probably even further realistically it wasn't good but I am just sick in the head or something probably why I liked it so much.
