5.0

Jumping off the cliff-hanger of its first volume, Shūzō Oshimi continues forward that shocked state that was left upon its protagonist, and also its viewers. Oshimi utilises, once again, harsh shadows, focused framing, and silent passages to shape this tense and internally horrific state that Seiichi is in. Each look, each decision, and each spoken word carries a weight that may suddenly turn the tide on what may emerge afterwards, and it is in this tight grip that it manages to leave upon me that I was left stunned and also impressed by Oshimi's storytelling. I wonder if this excellence would continue its momentum in the chapters to come.
