Ummmmm well thanks Netgalley and publisher for giving me this “horror” short manga for free!
Notice how I put the quotation marks there as I literally think it was sorta trying to be a “Junji Ito” type of story. I mean, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised that he got inspiration from him.
Anyways it was way too short like I did feel they could’ve fleshed the story out then rushing it. I really wanted them to deep dive on Chis backstory on how she got invested in making bug decorations as her kink. Also ngl, I think the Yua and her “crush but dirtbag really” were pretty weak and useless characters. I just think it would’ve been better if it was Chi on her own and forget about adding more in.
Not particularly the best horror manga out there I’m afraid…..
