Thank you to Netgalley and Kodansha for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
This story was a bit different than alot of what I've been reading lately. I *love* a good thriller and love psychological themes in my manga. This book kept me on my toes the entire time and I couldn't put it down once I started.
I will say, there was alot of stuff that is brought up that isn't very clear to the end and I'm not sure if that really helps the impact of the overarching themes of the volume. I enjoyed the art style, really brings me back to 90's era manga. I think this was OG drawn in the 90's and published and this is just finally the official translation in the states? But I'm not sure, but regardless I enjoy the feel of the art. I feel it really pushes the story.
Overall, I greatly enjoyed this. My 3 star isn't saying its "ehh" but that I really liked it but some technical things (like spoiler stuff) kinda impacted my rating. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a manga to fill an hour or two or looking for a new physiological thriller to get their fix.
