Leaving a rating for the whole story, it's one of the most incredible works of fiction I've ever read.

the first time i tried to read this book, it was a total failure and couldn’t get pass the first page. the second time around, i would say i am definitely intrigued but i just don’t like the fact that ‼️‼️‼️‼️very minor spoiler ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
we know who the “monster” is from the first volume. i didn’t expect that and that has lessened my excitement for the rest of the volumes :(.

My first ever manga! It took me a little getting used to reading “backwards” to what I’m used to but once I got into the flow I really enjoyed it. I’ll definitely be continuing on in the series!

A very promising start. The artwork is great, although the medical themes this volume expounds upon so heavily are a little cliched. Nevertheless, very well done and very compelling.
