What I liked:
- The moodiness of the art. The colour scheme fit the story really well.
- Lesbian rep.

What I disliked:
-
Spoiler The bury your gays trope.

- The characters. Aside from Yeh Yeh no one was really likeable, and I found the heroine especially unlikable, despite her being a social worker and standing up for marginalised people.
- The heroine
Spoiler cheating on her girlfriend and showing very little emotion about her death later.

- I personally feel like a retelling should have more parallels to the original work.
