This manga has got me hooked. I've heard raving reviews of the anime, but wanted to check out the manga first.
My favorite quote so far is the stories reflection on humans vs animals. This manga does a good job at combining philosophical elements with horror.
The book quotes that animals can not control their environment and thus adapt through change by experiencing pain. On the contrary, humans deal with change by experiencing emotions. I found this quote deeply embeded in the scenes of the manga. This is very similar to the MC dying constantly (or what ever the orb life form is) as it dies constantly while learning about its environment. While on the other hand the little girl in this book experience emotional pain as she is forced to be a sacrifice. Overall, awesome art style, horror elements and great writing elements. I can't wait to read the others.
