Reviewed by Chrissy SalazarARC provided by NetGalley and the publisher for honest review The art style is stunning and really lends to the eerie feeling of the manga. The story begins quickly and maintains the creep level throughout the entire story. The close-up panes and the action scenes were so well done and well placed not to mention the sparse but effective use of jump scares, all around if you are looking for a horror manga this would make a great pick.
