Unhinged. I'm pretty invested in the story though I'm kinda over the "I thought 2 steps ahead... well I thought 3 steps ahead... WELL I THOUGHT 10 steps ahead" but that's pretty common in this type of manga. One just has to roll with the fact, that it's so over the top with the kid geniuses.

 Overall, I really enjoyed this peek outside my comfort zone. I'd definitely recommend anyone check it (or its [first season of] anime) out if you're interested in high-tension horror/thriller, suspenseful twists, or intelligent characters using logic and reasoning against equally impressive opponents. There honestly isn't as much horrific imagery (gore or body horror) as I was expecting, but there are some deaths, as well as a lot of imagined (child) corpses, so it's not that tame either. Dread, lots and lots of dread. Still, if you're looking for something spooky for this season, but the typical ghosts and ghouls aren't piquing your interest, give this series a look.
