Perfect in every way. Stunning art, beautiful premise, haunting setting/atmosphere, interesting characters etc. etc. I love love love body horror, especially body horror used effectively as a narrative tool. This manga explores grief, friendship, love, loneliness, intimacy, trauma, and to some extent boyhood and the human condition. So excited to read more. I'll be following this manga very closely.
