I’m fascinated by this world and these characters. I have so many questions!! I can’t wait for the next two books.
I loved the art style. Some of the horror scenes reminded me of Junji Ito which was very cool. I liked the soft feeling the coloring gave—despite the ominous subject.

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 can't wait for the rest of this trilogy to come out!
Spoiler
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.Graphic: Sexual harassment, Vomit, Sexual content, Self harm, Blood, Injury/Injury detail, Body horror, Cursing, Emotional abuse, Drug use, Gore, Pregnancy, Death, Fire/Fire injury, and Violence
