This manga is the prime example why mangas are not for kids specifically the ones like these! So so mind boggling. My first manga from inio asano and he didn’t disappoint! 

I started reading this on a whim and i was hooked from page 1. 

The story isnt spoon-fed to you. You have to figure it out by putting the pieces together. Like you get the story but you literally have to put your whole attention and mind into it to understand. And when you do understand what is happening- it so so awful. And the characters- every single one of them is so twisted and insane and dark at heart! 

All the characters are connected in some crooked way. The ominous random panels on the first page makes much more sense by the end of the manga. At times i was like wait .. what the hell did i just read? Wow! Absolutely loved it. A stunning read.

A masterpiece of short manga. The kind of thing you want to reread over and over again. Not Asano’s most detailed art, but some of his most beautiful. One of his most beautiful stories in general with many themes packed into such a short runtime. Asano is a masterful writer and this work is no exception.
