This book lives up to its hype. The short and fast paced chapters pack a punch. It was one of those books that I couldn’t put down. Definitely a classic of the thriller horror genre and makes me want to read the manga.

Literally so so good. Like insanely good. Each character had an unique voice and it all felt so realistic, all things considered. Was screaming and crying and throwing up in the last few chapters. I need to read the sequel manga right the fuck now.
