The plot was okay but it did feel bit rushed. It was easy and quick read. The cover and artwork were stunning but I don't like how the main characher female friend was draw. The chrachers were decent but I do feel at they be flash out more.

Unfortunately, I thought it was alright. It is supposed to be a dark manga, and although there was a bit of darkness to it, I was expecting more. It just fell flat. Sadly, I spent $15.00 on this at Bookcon. I read this on the flight back to SF.

This is a 2.5 for me.

So, this was fine, but Sanbe's character designs of the two leads are SO similar to the characters in ERASED - it honestly kept pulling me out of the story.

Otherwise, this is a fine mystery/thriller. It's got the grit of ERASED and also grapples with child abuse/neglect, with a dash of the surreal/out of the ordinary. The premise of ERASED had a much better hook than this imo, but the mystery is intriguing enough so far that I want to read volume 2.

I feel like this book was mostly just set up. I’m willing to read the rest of the series although it feels a bit strange with the same characters as Erased

This may be one dark and violent manga, but the mystery and the thrills that it gives makes you forget all that. The mystery within the story really had me hooked! I can't wait for the second volume!
