An interesting beginning for a series but not as engaging as I wished. 

I love Shuzo Oshimi, his "Blood On the Tracks" series has become one of my most favourite manga due to his unique story telling and interesting way of displaying tortured characters. 

His art work does a lot. It has a true range of emotions and contributes a lot more to the s ory than it does in works of other authors. 

This is why I will definitely continue reading this series. I think that Oshimi will have a lot more in store. I have faith that the characters and story will develop and stir more emotions inside the reader in the following volumes.

Happiness is much more straight forward than than the authors other works. Still following high/middle aged students through a terror descending on their own. Interested to see how the story progresses!

I honestly kind of hate when reading challenges ask me to read Manga as a category because I've tried and tried and tried and I just don't care for it. I won't rate this as I don't want to affect the star-rating because of reading against my own preference but yeah. This was not for me.
