 it was a lot darker than I was expecting but still very cool. and the artwork is absolutely stunning. Kippa is my favourite character, she's so adorable.

look up trigger warnings before reading if you get easily triggered.

This is just the kind of graphic that I love to stumble upon and find out it's actually pretty fucking amazing! 

I love the art and characters, yes, even the bad ones! Very supernaturally and I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
