An interesting, albeit touch too short, comic. I found it interesting how much of a comparison is made between the cancer virus of sorts in this comic and the current coronavirus pandemic happening right now. The idea of a virus pandemic definitely works in favour of getting the comic more readers but really not much of a comparison can be made; the two are very different.

I particularly liked how much attention there was to the protagonist's grieving process. Although there were more tears than I expected I found it was much more authentic that way.

If only this storyline was spread out over 2 vols. That would've been fantastic because this felt a little too rushed. And it would've enhanced the mystery, fear and uncertainty if it took them longer to find the truth and the protagonist had to be on the run for longer.

All in all, this wasn't bad but there just wasn't enough to earn 4 stars. Sad really because there was so much potential and the premise was very interesting...
