A dark and mysterious journey the whole way through. It's incredibly atmospheric with very little explanation or context. I've never read a manga (nor graphic novel for that matter) that used their images to do so much story-creation or worldbuilding. It's very unsettling to have a primary character that knows so little about the world they are exploring, which makes for a pretty wild mirrored reading experience. Looking forward to continuing on with the series.
