I reread this book and it still had me on the edge of my seat. I feel as though the characters are so realistic and have flaws that make them human.

I see why people love this book. I’ve read others of Urusawa’s works before this but man, it’s a journey. I kind of like that he remixes aspects of his plots and even character designs in his different works. The plot here has to do with uncovering the present day mysteries surrounding people that the protagonist, a convenience store owner, knew as a child. The twists and turns are great.

Graphic: Kidnapping, Injury/Injury detail, Gore, Toxic friendship, Gaslighting, Death, Confinement, Blood, Violence, Grief, Classism, Sexual content, and Gun violence
The violence is a mixed bag but then it’s interconnected with something to do with a cult that’s central to the overall story. The sexual content mostly has to do with coming of age, discovering skin flicks and things of that nature. The I would only recommend to an older teen or older before reading Urasawa.escargot's review

Immediately gripped by this, and genuinely creeped out. Super excited to continue and see what these “Friends” are up to.
