I am reading this to gain more context on the author and any influence there may be on Chainsawman.

I think some of my enjoyment of this came from having read csm before. This is a lot darker than CSM. Kind of has some vibes of Snowpiercer, mostly just because of the dystopian snowy world. Also feels a little bit like the edgy parts of early Berserk. Also some of the bad cliches of manga. I am hoping the edginess wears off in later volumes because some panels in this book were very uncomfy to read. Thematically may have been appropriate though so I could get through it. 

If you are interested in something between Snow Piercer, Berserk, and Chainsaw man this manga may be worth checking out.

I found it intriguing enough I’ll probably read the rest.
