Didn't really like this. Found it to be a bit too dark & not really enjoying how the characters have been portrayed. The art is impressive but it doesn't appeal to me. The explicit homophobia including physical hate crime and explicit ableism toward a child really disturbed me. The story is interesting but I don't feel it's explained very well and it confuses me when it jumps back and forth in time and/or locations.
