This graphic novel was gorgeously, creepily illustrated and excellently, hilariously written. I loved all the witty remarks from the characters and especially the sibling banter between the two twins. The art style was very unique and stylized, and everything from the color palette to the line quality gave the story a sharpness and eerie feeling lurking beneath the recognizable and mundane city backdrop I also loved the way that the notoriously demanding and cold Asian parenting style of the mother was paralleled with the issue of a non-human demon eater not knowing how to raise kids as humans and not rub off her "badness" onto them. I can't wait for the rest of this trilogy to come out!

ARC provided by the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was really good. There was plenty of horror, but also a lot of humor in the way the characters acted and interacted. The family dynamics were amazing, and I loved the way this explored the relationship between Ipo and her children.
The art was stunning, and the story was very compelling, which is exactly what I was expecting from the duo behind the stunning Monstress. Looking forward to the second volume.
