The Junji Ito vibes!! The art, the story!! So creepy & intriguing, made my skin crawl but has gripping lore & mystery. I’m so immersed in this story & want to know everything! Can’t wait for more.

This is going to be a very interesting story. Wonderfully tense, I can't help but be enthralled by it. It's absolutely dripping with atmosphere, fuelled greatly by the environment a rural Japanese school and teenage experience provides. I cannot recommend this beginning enough, and I actively look forward to seeing how this develops.

A boy’s friend disappears in the mountains and what returns is no longer the same boy, though it uses his body, his voice, and his memories. The creature is just as much obsessed with him just as he is obsessed with holding onto the last remnants of the boy he loved.

The art on this was gorgeous, but there is a little big of a body horror aspect to this that I am not sure I was aware was going to be there when I first picked it up. It didn't personally take any enjoyment out of it for me, but I would warn others on that front. 

The pacing was a bit fast, and it was hard to keep up. Character motivations aren't always clear, but it keeps a mysterious air to the story.
