The plot is okay, I guess. The introduction to the other monster at the video store… I was confused by its existence and what its motive was until Chapter 5.

Spoiler

It is working with a government group? Ghost hunters? I am intrigued by the thought of Meg in a ghost suit and battling Ami in a Pacific Rim style.

I stayed for the art style. I look forward to finding more titles drawn by Caspar Wijngaard.

The story felt disjointed, and there are so many unanswered questions at the end of this volume. I would’ve liked to see more of the development of Ami’s relationship with the house. The artwork is very gory and detailed.

Interesting premise, good art, love the spookiness and characters. Some aspects like the big fight at the end of the book were a little Eh for me, I would've been happy for it to stay Horror/Suspense rather than a bit Pacific Rim.  But otherwise liked it a lot.
