I get why people think this is weird but it seemed kind of regular to me. Like it was just at the line of weird but didn’t quite cross it for me. It was funny how they both ended up being right in the beginning, but reading the rest was a slog. 

This first volume was really strange. Of course, like wayyy too many shonen out there, there was the unnecessary sexualization of females and a (brushed off) attempted sexual assault. Those are issues that I will continuously complain about when it comes to manga. But I really loved the two main characters, Ken and Momo. I also ended up enjoying the main "meat" of this weird, kooky story. I am definitely going to continue with the series, and, (crossing my fingers) I could even see this becoming a favorite shonen if it continues giving me those delicious creepy, outlandish vibes. I love weird, horror-esque plots. They're are the BEST.

I don't know what I just read but this manga is crazy and I think I'm all for it. From aliens that abduct people to spirits that possess, this is a weird mishmash of genres that I've been waiting for. The art is nice and sharp and easy to read, and allows for fluid and dynamic movement that flows easily. I'm not sure yet how I feel about the magical/sci-fi/spiritual elements yet, but hopefully that'll get more fleshed out as I continue to read the story.
