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.
