Unlike Uzumaki, I really couldn't ignore the dumbass character syndrome LEAVE HER ASS TADASHI, P L E A S E .

The horror wasn't even that surprising, it was just fascinating to look at. And the circus scene felt forced? It just kinda came outta nowhere and served no purpose except for Tadashi to find Kaori. Which, speaking of, oh my god was I glad when she fucking died. I really didn't wanna hate her but holy shit Mozzart she's like a crybaby on Skittles.

Stinky fish was great though, amazing character.

1.5

I had high hopes for this book because I’ve heard that this author writes some really fucked up manga. But it fell really flat for me. It did have some gruesome and disturbing imagery but it lacks severely in character development and plot. The main character doesn’T feel fleshed out. Instead he feels like simply a plot device for the horror elements and to move the story along. By the end of it I can’t articulate exactly what the story was about and for that reason I didn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted to.
