Tell me more about Speed Grapher...

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

The main character is a former war photographer who infiltrates a really shady gentleman's club where the ultimate honor one can get is to be kissed by Kagura, a girl who has the ability to give the person whatever they desire by scrambling their DNA. When Kagura kisses Saiga, he develops the ability to kill people with his camera. He then falls in love with Kagura who he helps escape from her uber-bitch mother. Meanwhile he has to deal with other men who've used Kagura's "gift" for perverse reasons.

Saiga isn't quite right himself as he can only get sexually aroused by taking pictures. He sees Kagura as his salvation while she sees him as her savior. Then there's the police woman who is stalkerish possessive of Saiga and rapes him while his unconcious (that was a weird moment).

Anyway, it's good, but it's really hardcore.
