Sadahiro Mika:PATHOS


One of the best yaoi mangas I had read, Sadahiro Mika’s Pathos is a story of three people who by each other’s existence experienced happiness but at the same time suffering. What would you do if the person you love were a vampire? Would you face death and turn into one just for that person? It might seem absurd to love someone unconditionally that the only way to be together is to become one of them. However, facing the choice you made is the hardest thing. Moreover, being with someone you love that at the same time couldn’t let go of someone else is a painful thing.

Pathos, a greek word meaning suffering or misery. This fictional story created a deep mark in me for the author, combined pain, happiness, sacrifice, love and hate in a beautiful way. One being so in loved with someone who’s in love with another. A vampire who loves a human so much yet can’t let go of his creator. A human who would do anything to be with the one he loves. A complicated yet strong three-way relationship, this is what King, Jay and Ace have. Reading this manga made me think that, if you chose the better way for someone, it could mean your happiness or your sorrow. It would mean a lot of courage and love for someone to sacrifice one’s happiness for the other and I see it as a very brave and understanding thing to do. Yet not all people can do something like that, for each of us lays a desire to monopolize and take our love just for ourselves. Just like how King felt for Jay, just like how Jay felt for Ace and just like how Ace felt for Jay. But with their situation, two vampires and a human, considering themselves as brothers, having a tight bond with each other, will they be able to have the love they so much wanted without hurting each other? It’s for you to find out!

 Just what would be expected from Sadahiro Mika, the creator of Undergrand Hotel, Hai to Diamond, Mukizu Ja Irarenee, this story would touch the heart if the readers. So drown yourselves in Pathos and experience ecstasy in every thrust of their fangs!
