Art: The artistic skill of the mangaka really shows in his ability to pervert the human figure. Only someone with a great understanding and knowledge of the way the human body works and functions can pervert it so horrifically and perfectly. Some pages are only filled with art that provides shock value and sends a shiver down your spine. I could only think to myself, 'How on earth did he come up with this?'
Character: The character designing has been done wonderfully as well, we get a grip of individuals personality types quickly and they are easy to remember even if they were in the story only for a short while.
Overall- This story is extremely enjoyable and you can read it over and over again without getting tired of it. The manga is not easily forgettable and every time I see a snail shell I stare at it and begin to understand why he chose to pick the spiral. It is absolutely amazing that the spiral shape is naturally occurring because of how geometric and perfect it is. It does get a bit far fetched and silly at times but I feel that it acts as a relief from the intense mood of the main story.
