Okay, you tell me where I can find &Flower for instance pirated. All I found on Nyaa were like some super old things, like:

There are so many holes and it's all ancient. I assume this is only uploaded months after it comes out at best and then it still has holes. To be clear, it's at issue 32 or something of 2025 now because it's a weekly magazine and there are about 52 issues each year. So yeah you might as well treat it as a sample.

Some of the really popular magazines are maybe on there but that's about it.

Yeah, obviously exceptions exist and I do like that Japan likes some really fucked up and Kafkaesque stories but even those are often plagued by the desire for a happy ending. But like Killing my Sensei Softly. I let myself be spoied by the reviews online and it does have a bad ending where they both die killing each other which is cool, but like the plot is also nothing remarkable for something as high concept as
>Muh secret age gap relationship with serial killer teacher whom you're love with but want to kill as well because he killed your parents.

Concept wise that's really cool an all the blood and gore is nice too and something like this really only comes out of Japan but Japanese stuff lives too much by its concept I feel and the actual plot is just so lukewarm and not that interesting. It's all concept with no plan.
