At first, I thought it was just a simplistic revenge manga. Then I thought it was a revenge manga with a shallow story. Then I thought it was a story that tries to get a creepy feeling under your skin. Then I thought it was a rather creepy story that shows off a lot of strange and previously unthinkable things. Then I thought…
Well, you get the idea.
The further I read, the creepier it gets. At its core, I still see it as mostly a simple revenge story, but the author sure takes care to insert a lot of things along the way. By the end, you’re left wondering if you’re reading a revenge story or a story about a bunch of crazy loons.
I won’t spoil anything, but I will say the story certainly kept the surprises up.
Moving aside from that, the only other thing of note is the art. I’m conflicted here – primarily because I don’t know whether the awful art is intentional or not. On the surface, it seems awful primarily because characters often looked like fanged monsters when angry and, when they’re not angry, they looked indistinguishable from each other.
At first, I disliked it but, later on, I ended up wondering if the author was using the art to make a commentary on the characters.
So…what am I saying? I’m saying I really don’t know how I feel about it. The important part, though, is that I did enjoy reading it. Would I recommend it to others? Yes. Overall, I think it’s a short and enjoyable read. Plus, the fact that it’s so confusing actually lends to its enjoyment, I think.
If nothing else, I would suggest it as a fun romp that can be finished quickly.
