I should definitely read more mangas!

The Episodic nature of the story did not bring everything together as neatly as i‘d liked but the ending is a real highlight so it makes up for most of that.

The art was beautiful, grotesque and disturbing, which i really loved!
I sometimes had troubles differentiating between certain characters though…

It was a super fun read and went over too quickly :)

This was a little hard to read because the plot is creepy and bleak, but interesting. I like that in the Afterword he explains that this doesn't really reflect a lot of goth culture, though the main characters are goths. The plot twists in each story were interesting and I couldn't guess most of them, though the last story confused me a bit.
