this manga is effed up in a way that only shoujo manga can be (and 80s shoujo manga is a very special kind of BUNGED) yet I’m still impressed by how irredeemably rancid this horrible scientist woman is, like she absolutely scares me, top 10 anime villain

Yami no Purple Eye (aka Purple Eyes in the Dark) is one of the craziest most 80s shojo manga I've ever read
You got
Transforming cat people
That one Tumblr post about purple eyes being like a rare genetic condition
A mad scientist lady whose father tried to prove the existence of the cat people but was rejected and went insane so now she's continuing his work by experimenting on a 16 year old girl
Said 16 year old girl's younger sister gets mauled to death by the scientist's dogs at like the end of volume 1
A lot of horrible bloody brutal murder
Injuries that you'd think would kill these people but I guess their cat powers help them heal faster?
Also the cat people have shorter lifespans as a result of being cat people. That's very important they bring it up a lot
Sexual assault
Unplanned pregnancy as a result of said sexual assault
Assaulter dying in an explosion
Mad scientist lady kidnaps this girl's baby and gets her eye gouged out and fucking thrown off a cliff and somehow survives
16 year old girl gets cryogenically frozen and brainwashed for 15 years
Cousin incest
Teased-but-never-actually-happened adoptive father/daughter incest
Transforming cat people clan warfare
More explosion deaths
I am not kidding there is so much fucking death in this manga
A priest gets rocks dropped on him
Blood transfusions in exchange for lobotomies
An anime adaptation in the form of a 30 minute long slideshow AMV that doesn't actually tell you what the plot is and has very little animation but at least the art and music are pretty
It's bananas. I burst out laughing at some of the shit in this. I wouldn't say I recommend any of y'all read it if you're squeamish, but I had a good time. Go look up the 30 minute AMV on YouTube if you're curious, though; it's pretty good!
