5.0

At this point, I'm starting to understand the feeling that our protagonist has been going through, that tight feeling wrapped around his neck just from the thought of his mother is the exact same feeling that Oshimi has held over me. There is an incredible amount of tension that is maintained throughout this volume, even during its breakthrough moments. Oshimi's refusal to easily supply catharsis for his readers is one of the reasons why one feels completely locked in reading it. That dreadful anticipation of what may just unfold on the next page is both unsettling and exciting. I am just gushing over this series.
