Does the beautifully surreal and creative art style excuse the sloppy plot? Personally, yeah. It is still worth experiencing. The characters are shockingly vile, but the story itself becomes pretty contrived. Starts out solid, great attention grabber. It’s nauseating and yet you can’t look away. After the burst of visual stimuli, there’s not as much to sink your teeth into. Due to the art style, the explicit scenes aren’t too visually gross but the discomfort comes from the reactions and implications. The short length does make it an enjoyable read and as stated earlier, the art and paneling is delightfully unique. This had a lot of potential. But for what it is, I still think Kami no Kodomo is a great read just for visuals alone. And if it wasn’t obvious, stay clear of this if you cannot handle sexual violence and other disturbing themes.
