overall i really liked this! i found it very interesting. i do have a few qualms regarding LGBTQ+ rep in this manga (as well as the weird fan service at the end regarding a literal 14/15 yr old??? Thats weird sorry) buttt i do really love the overall vibes, the humor, the concept, and the art! felt very tokyo ghoul meets soul eater to me which is a huge compliment so (-: excited to continue!

i loved this !!! literally so good, i think the choice to add illustrations from junji ito really elevated the stories. i felt like i was hearing urban legends while sitting around a campfire! it felt very cozy and mysterious, i really loved my experience reading this.
