I wound up reading this after my wife and I watched the entire first season of the anime in two days, and I regret nothing. Delightfully fucked up. Highly recommended for fans of Rin Chupeco (and their evil trees), or readers who (like me and my wife) are weak for terrifying murderers who wish they didn't need to do so much terrifying murder.

I really enjoyed Hell's Paradise because of how diverse and interesting the Main Character goes from this plain Main Character to this well developed character.

Super intrigued and I'm in love with Gabimaru already :D

I found the art is kinda hard to follow during heavy action sequences but it looks pretty so I don't really care. We a have a morally grey protagonist who's super whipped for his wife, a strong female character, and a scary but interesting world, what more could I ask for?

This book sure was gory… I liked the fact that the decapitators were such an important part of the story. I think they were very interesting. I’m not sure how much I liked Gabimaru, but he’s already a pretty well developed character. I also quite liked Sagiri, though I’m a little annoyed by how others treated her.
