This volume explores what it means to love someone, even if doing so could bring about your own end. Every answer the narrative gives is only met with countless more questions. I really appreciate how this manga tackles complex human emotions and doesn't place the blame on any one person. Every chapter leaves me dying for more.

This story continues to be so creepy and gripping… I adore the intensity each scene has, with all the repeted effects scattered around the panels.  The artwork alone had me in awe. I can’t wait to read the third volume.
