Haimura Kiri looks like an ordinary boy from the outside but he is actually a person with a hair cutting obsession, and a severe one at that. He wants to cut sweet lady hair to satisfy himself and for that purpose he carries a scissor And one day he meets The Queen of Hair- a girl who couldn't cut her hair. Sounds like a perfect match right?

Story: This story is one of those that messes up the audiences emotions, it's hard to think that the mangaka pitied any of the characters. The story elements fits together and have enormous plot twists. The Romance scenes of this one is very superb. Like it or not hints of ecchi and harem can be found. The whole story is a balance between horror,cuteness and psychology-an unusual combination. However,Combined together it gave out an interesting story which cannot be found everyday. Also Sadism plays a significant role in the story setting- so seeing very cute characters in a way that you can't expect is very rare and ironical. Horror is also main conduit in here- however i think it's because of the character setting it didn't seem to be scary but rather mind boggling.

Art: Art is good. There was a tokyo ghoul reference-- i won't mention which episode. Characters were drawn beautifully- i especially liked Iwa's eyes and hair- that unique rich green colour was so eye candy. The atmosphere around this one was very strong- the scenic pieces were drawn well and it's hard to explain but you just got to feel it to know it yourself.

Sound: The opening and ending were average- nevertheless had a good meaning. Some of the soundtracks were created to suit the emotions and the atmosphere. The Seiyus did well on this one- especially Kiri's voice was done very well.

Character: Unless you count Gasai Yuno it's very hard to find Yandere characters in random anime. Mostly because when involving that type you gotta deal with a lot of settings change and mood. There were characters that looked minor but played the most important roles in the anime like that Police lady is a good example. Most characters were simply adorable and the male lead was a gentleman he vaguely reminded me of Maebara Keiichi. Also sadists/masochists/perverts/witches and religious freaks can be found so prepare yourself for a good mind boggle. Latter to be said about the two main characters- the hair goddess is a very cute- caring girl who is cursed. The severing scissor guy is the most surprising.

Enjoyment: Due to the setting changes and epic plot twists i'd have to say i really enjoyed this one even though it was very fast paced. There was some light humour and reverse scenes which you would never expect and of course would make you vomit(I'm not literally talking about the gore here)

Overall: The whole anime puts out the moral that some obsessions are genetic than habitual, actually it could be true. It also derived a huge realities in life which conflicted with the fantasy elements. You could say that the mangaka is very judgemental and open minded about the society. Obviously there was an epic cliffhanger in the last two episodes and as this was a promotive piece so you couldn't expect much. Although at some point this anime was everywhere but nowhere since it had so many contrasting elements that clashed with each other.
