A truly gory book. Interesting world building and characters though. Definitely a good hook to a larger story.

The anime didn't do this story justice. Be prepared, it's very dark.

Good introduction to the series. I liked the art style, and the main character was likeable enough to willingly follow throughout the series. I hope we get to see more of the friendship between Hide and Ken as the manga continues.

I enjoyed the story, but it was too gory for me and there were a lot of pages where I couldn’t tell what was happening. Not sure if I’ll continue with the series.

Lots of blood, dead bodies, a beheading, and one character forcing another character to eat human flesh. If you can’t do gore, maybe don’t read this one.
