It's a shame I took so long to start reading comics. This was very fun and I'm excited to see more! I loved the art even when it was gruesome, I loved the storytelling through the text bubbles the same way films use voiceover or j-cuts (even though this might be a comic books standard, I'm new here), and I loved the additional readings in the end!

I really enjoyed this! The art and storyline were really interesting and unique, I can't wait to dive into volume 2. 

I'm giving this a 5 out of 5 stars.
