Before I wrote this review, I looked at the recommendations and it was blank. I laughed.

There's literally nothing similar to this story. It's absolutely WTF, but somehow enjoyable.

Story: 5
Don't bother. Sure, there's a central story and all, but every twist and turn seems to happen for NO APPARENT REASON. Shit just happens...because. Bad guys, good guys? NO CLUE. The ending is also meh compared to how daring the rest of the plot was.

Art: 7
Good and also bad. Too much detail at times makes some parts confusing and even unreadable, but the feelings, tone, and emotions do come through. Lots of blood and stabby stab ... over-the-top-ness.

Character: 8
Not memorable but definitely unique and distinct. A little bit of character inconsistency throughout, although this isn't necessarily a bad thing as it fits with the crazy feel of the plot. Even the MC goes cuckoo after a while.

Enjoyment: 7
For some reason, it was a fun read, in the sense that it was so ridiculous that it's good. A great breather after reading a lot of serious stuff. Not for fans of sappy or light-hearted series.

Overall: 7
Don't expect ANYTHING from this series. Just hop on and go along for the ride.

I'm not high brow or anything, but the story is fine. it's not as crazy or confusing as everyone says. if you like yanderes or... psychos in general. read this. if you don't, i recommend giving it a try.

i had a fun, quick read. I was entertained. but, this is REALLY weird. like, weirder than abnormal kei joshi
not much to say here.
to sum it up-don't read if you like simple light-hearted characters and super simple plots. if you like crazies, give it a try. it's only 11 chapters
THE REVIEW STILL HAS TO BE LONGER EVEN THOUGH THE MANGA IS 11 CHAPTERS. WHY ... MAL?! WHYYYY?!!

This manga was really weird and random, and not in a good way. I have no idea what it was trying to do. The plot is completely random and never seems to have any sort of solid direction. The characters are arbitrary, neither likable or unlikable. There is craziness to them that could be interesting, but it isn't really used all that well for the most part. The tone shifts arbitrarily. There were some scenes that were comedic and decent, generally from the insanity, but overall there wasn't much value to it at all. It's really hard to discuss because I don't even know what it was trying to ... do so it's hard to judge how well it managed to execute it. The art was usually decent for the most part, but during certain scenes where there's a lot happening like action sequences it gets really messy and impossible to parse. 

tl;dr: Random nonsense.
