I have many thoughts about this series and this individual volume, but for now, I'll just say this: the frank depiction of the trauma/effects of poverty and childhood neglect is one of the most visceral and relatable that I've seen in fiction so far. My childhood wasn't anywhere near the level of fucked up that Denji's was, but the financial anxiety and hyperawareness and loneliness and finding escapism in dreams/fantasies was very familiar to me.

Aaaagh why do I always do this? Why do I always leave the series that make me the most hyped to read for last!? I'm so dumb lol Anyways, I loved this! It's a reread so I knew what to expect from this volume, but there was so much I did not remember, and having watched the debut episode for the anime, it's incredible how smooth everything is compared to the art in the manga haha I love Denji as a character, and I gotta admit, back when I read this for the first time, I was still a teen who did not understand anything from this world and thought Denji was just a weird preverted MC, 

but seeing it from the eyes of a boy who hasn't experienced anything, he's very pitiful and I love him with all my heart ( <3 ).  I can't wait to see how fucked up this Makima and Denji dynamic is going to become... oh boy.

[picked this one up because the anime is coming soon and my friends told me to read the manga before that]

hmm ok. denji is an interesting shonen protagonist because he feels more like a broody edgy op side character than a mc,  so that’s interesting. the theme overall reminds me a lot of jujutsu kaisen and dorohedoro, so i’m hoping they add an interesting twist to this concept

my friends also told me to not get emotionally attached to any character whatsoever bc apparently everyone dies so . no strings attached so far,, I hope

also the art is actually amazing wow thank god mappa is the studio animating this bc it’s going to look amazing (also!!! eve and ztmy are behind two of the endings!! and kenshi yonezu is doing the op!! so that’s awesome !!)

hope i enjoy the rest of the series :D excited for the anime
