Seraph of the End is one of my favorite stories and animes. I've always wanted to read the manga and it does not disappoint! The art style is gorgeous and really well-done and I love the pacing and detail work. The characters are also great and well-rounded. Very excited for the next volume!

Content Warnings

Graphic: Child death, Blood, Murder

Moderate: Gore, Violence

Minor: Bullying, Confinement

There are graphic depictions of

child death, blood, and murder as the fellow orphanage children friends of the main character are murdered by one of the vampires in fairly gruesome detail

early in the story. There are moderate depictions of

violence and gore as the inherent nature of the story relies on violence and battle, and thus entails some gore and injury

. There are also minor depictions of bullying in the stereotypical sense, and also confinement in that

the children being used by the vampires are depicted as being confined in underground cities and treated as "cattle"

.
