OOKKKKKK, welp this was one intense volume and that mom definitely needs some help given all that we have seen in this volume. Clearly something happened when Sei was born given the conversation in one of the chapters. On the one hand I feel sorry for the mom, on the other hand I am telling everyone to just freaking run run and run. What I said about the dad in the previous volume, it doesn’t seem like he knew his wife was doing this badly.
And poor Sei, who has regressed back to stuttering and not being able to talk without making weird faces and forcing it all out. My heart just broke for him. The whole Shigeru event, what mom did after the girl left, and all the other little things, and that big thing in the last chapter, he is just broken. I wonder if anyone can help him. Maybe the girl who likes him as she worries and knows that mom probably did something. Then again, I wouldn’t try to get near the mom… she is so volatile. Her thoughts go from wanting to die to murder to coddling and protection to happy and teehee. She sees Sei at times without him being there (as seen in aftermaths of the conversation as she was petting an invisible child).
Poor Shigeru btw, my heart broke for him and the family.
The art was once again not always to my cup of tea but definitely added to the creepy and uneasy atmosphere. Especially that last chapter was well done.
OK, I am taking a break from this. Yes, I would love to read on. I really do, but I don’t want to race through the series in one go. Plus, I definitely need something cute and fluffy now after reading this disturbing story.
