Seiichi is a timid tweenage boy w/ a normal life and a loving mother, but one summer day he witnesses something that turns their relationship into one of insidiously mundane, domestic horror

i love this manga but with the series reaching its (at time of writing) 13th English language tankoban release and no end in sight, the already slow pace is beginning to wear me out. the sheer amount of psychological abuse and emotional humiliation Sei goes thru is excruciating, and makes it hard to recommend to anyone but the most resilient enjoyers of the psychological horror genre

i finished it in less than an hour! very intriguing book. i’m super curious to find out what happens next. please note: this book is more of the setup for the story. it WILL leave off on a cliffhanger. i was dumb and didn’t have the next volume on hand so i’m stuck in suspense until i can get it lol.
