This volume explores what it means to love someone, even if doing so could bring about your own end. Every answer the narrative gives is only met with countless more questions. I really appreciate how this manga tackles complex human emotions and doesn't place the blame on any one person. Every chapter leaves me dying for more.
Graphic: Body horror, Death, Gore, and Grief
