After months of horrific, systematic abuse, Jeremy’s mind becomes unstable and his thoughts turn vicious. He decides to murder his stepfather in order to get rid of him — but the plan goes awry, and when he [[spoiler: sabotages his stepfather’s car, his mother also dies in the crash]].

A Cruel God Reigns is a true BL classic written by Hagio Moto, one of the founders of the BL genre. In seventeen intense volumes, A Cruel God Reigns traces both Jeremy’s and Ian’s journeys towards redemption. The story-telling is rich and unique, and the art is breathtaking. In 1997 Hagio Moto was awarded the Osamu Tezuka Culture Excellence Award for A Cruel God Reigns. To this day, A Cruel God Reigns remains one of the most powerful BL epics ever written.
