I have many thoughts about this series and this individual volume, but for now, I'll just say this: the frank depiction of the trauma/effects of poverty and childhood neglect is one of the most visceral and relatable that I've seen in fiction so far. My childhood wasn't anywhere near the level of fucked up that Denji's was, but the financial anxiety and hyperawareness and loneliness and finding escapism in dreams/fantasies was very familiar to me.
