Average rating4.3
Creepy, a bit disturbing, with beautiful art. Great atmosphere, great panelling, compelling characters. 4.5 start, will continue reading.
Wow! I didn't expected it would go so deep starting from the first volume. A fantastic introduction to this yokai-inspired, distorted-romance, horror manga. I won't tell you much in order to avoid any revelation, but if you like body-horror, myth and religious elements of Japan used in a disturbing way (similar to Chilla's Art games), and a summer lecture which goes terribly wrong, this is absolutely for you!
This was very weird and upsetting! I need more! It has an interesting balance of horror and deep sadness that is really well done. I'm definitely going to read more.

I was creeped out, sick, and rooting for the main two. I didn't really get much answers to my questions but I know for a fact they will be found in the upcoming volumes. They way it left off had me itching for more!
