A truly gripping book. I'm simultaneously excited and terrified to see what comes next... I flew through this volume so quickly, even though I was turning the pages scared to see what hellacious, diabolical monstrosity would appear next.

Guts' determination, hatred and terror are palpable and Miura's detailed drawings only add to the story. I know I have much more misery, grief and terror to go through, but I can only hope that this ultimately ends happily.

Note: there is child sexual assault at the end of this volume. It's not quite graphic, but it is very clear what's about to happen. I would assume this scene continues into the next volume.
