S tier, 5 stars. This is a read I know will be living rent-free in my mind for a long time. A read I think a lot of people should try out. However, it has every trigger warning under the sun, so please check which it has before diving into it. Great story with a lot of drive. Fitting artstyle. A lot of personality. Very good read. Will recommend.

brogan7's review against another edition
It's just hard to read about the brutality and understand it will have no resolution, there will be no moment when people stand up for themselves, set boundaries, extend kindness, ask difficult questions... they're all just muddling along in their suffering and deep dysfunction.
Also, it was almost impossible to keep track of the characters (at one point the author helpfully inserts "this is Takahashi's first appearance")--the characters' features alter in moments of heightened emotions, which makes telling them apart quite challenging.
Mature content, a difficult read.
Someone should tell the translator Solidago Canadensis is referred to simply as "goldenrod" in English, though "Canadian goldenrod" is very sweet.
Don't recommend.

1.0
lots of rape and sexual assault, near murder, a very badly handled teenage pregnancy storyline, and some sort of cobbled together point about self-esteem? so much of the violence was gratuitous; the author could’ve made these points without actually illustrating a rape scene, strangulation, etc…
weird as hell
