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?!!

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.

interesting story, but VERY flawed its execution that is hard to follow on a chapter by chapter basis, and an ending that will leave you with more of a wtf feeling than anything else.

over all, read chapter 1, see if it interests you, but don't get your hopes up at all, and you may enjoy this enough to make it wroth reading...

i want to note that its entirely possible that the translation i read of this is flawed to the point it ruined the story, but because of the care put into many areas i'm giving it the benefit of the doubt.
