This book probably is not meant to be funny, but I laughed out loud several times reading it. People push, slap, and punch each other left and right, willy-nilly, and it is hysterical to me. However, this book is also incredibly dark, and readers should be warned that kids die in horrific, graphic ways. There’s also a touch of sexism in here and sexual assault occurs. It’s horror, absolutely, that’s zany with no holds barred.

This is the first Manga I have ever read. It was an interesting experience! It read a lot like what I would expect from a children’s graphic novel, but make no mistake, this was not a children’s book. I loved the thrill of the read and I’m looking forward to reading volume 2!
