This world is just so fascinating to me! I thought I'd gotten a sense of where the story was headed based on Phase One, but I was completely wrong!
In small Marrow, the moon rose one evening then never set again. The citizens of Marrow are trapped in an endless night -- but the outside world is totally fine. In fact, the people who have left Marrow are no longer able to get back in.
And if that isn't strange enough, now the people of Marrow are starting to *transform.*
Everyone is still trying to understand what is happening and what should be done -- and then we have Naoki as he tries to tend to his dearest, closest friend Sho, scared and uncertain but unflinching in his certainty that whatever happens, they have to stay together.
As I said in my review of Phase One, the atmosphere and ambience of this series is *incredible*. I am so, so, *so* curious about what is going to happen next!
