Shinai naru Boke e Satsui wo Komete is gripping, thrilling and unputdownable.

The slow build-up of the first volume creates massive intrigue and from there on the series is a wild rollercoaster with shocking twists and turns every couple of chapters. What this manga does rather well is that rarely these twists are expected (in my case, at least). Whilst surprising, these twists are written so well that they end up making complete sense and being cohesive within the story, which I've found other mangas fail to do when trying to 'shock'. The way that many chapters end on a cliff-hanger makes the story incredibly addictive and the pace and fantastic narrative add to this.

I really like the characters in this story and they are all incredibly individual. The art is gorgeous but does not hesitate from being grotesque and frightening when the story demands it. I admire how the story tackles dark themes without being overly bleak and disturbing, a hard line to navigate.

I would highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys psychological thrillers and the 'amnesia' genre.
