I did not expect how deep the conflict and the storyline would go with this book. It definitely kept me at the edge of my seat, unsettled the entire time. I’d definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking for a psychological horror that doesn’t hinge on paranormal stuff.
I also think this was an incredible translation! IMO, translated books can be hit or miss, but I felt like I got every nuance and detail Nonami has in the original book in this translation.

I really liked it but absolutely not for everyone. When I say it’s dark it’s DARK. I think it has a lot of interesting things to say but please look up a list of content warnings.
