This was a very captivating read, it sucked me in and I could not put it down until I was finished. There may be some triggers in this as there was a  lot of violence in many ways. The author,  Kazuo Umezz,  really feel the emotions of each character, and the fact that there are children involved breaks your heart. Great series and illustrations!

Lots of murder and killing in very heinous ways. Not what I expected. Kind of uncomfortable as there were a lot of kids being murdered throughout.

Honestly, this didn't really do anything for me. It was disturbing, yes, but not enough plot or character development to make me fully invested in being disturbed or caring about what was going on. When people died, I didn't really know who they were so I didn't really feel the impact that I thought I was supposed to. I'm sure that there are people who will enjoy this, but it wasn't me!
