Sadly this didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I adored the gorgeous art style and the story and characters seem interesting enough, however it was all far too underdeveloped for me. I wanted more from the story, more from the characters, more depth and substance but sadly didn’t get that. I’m gutted because the idea is fabulous, it’s just the execution that let it down.

I really loved the art in this story. The story itself seemed a little repetitive however, I believe more could have been done in the first volume. I do really like the concept of the glitches though. I'll definitely give the second volume a shot.

This was such a great first volume. I loved all of the characters, but I loved Minato with her penchant for getting lost. I'm curious to see where the story goes. I want to know what the glitches are and where they came from. I will definitely be reading more of this series.

Thank you NetGalley and Yen Press for this arc!

4.5/5 stars

This was a really easy to read manga. Siblings Minato and Akira move to a new town, knowing this will be different in a new area - but just how different is quite a surprise! This was a quick and intriguing read, and I can't wait to learn more about these glitches - what are they? Why can only some people see them? Where do they come from? I'll be eagerly awaiting the next installment!

I really enjoyed this first volume! The build up of intrigue and hints at the supernatural were great, and I love a sibling pair as main protagonists. Also, such a nice art style! Excited to read the next volume when it's out.
