Graphics Rating: 4/5
Plot Rating: 4/5
Opinion: I have a personal soft spot for Sakurada Hina, so yeah, love the graphics. Very detailed and shoujo but… scary. Pretty and frighting at the same time.
As for the plot. Holy crap it was good. I read the first two chapters and was like… okay… I guess. And then the third chapter finished, finishing the book and I was like… yeah saw it coming but HOLY SHIT THAT END. If you enjoy psychological manga this is pretty damn good. Not perfect but damn close.
The main guy is absolutely terrifying. The main girl is pretty sweet and you don’t see much of her friend but my God does the guy make my skin crawl. When you get to the third chapter it’s all his perspective and I think even that one last chapter on it’s own was a great story. A+ for character. Cause even though he was a creepy asshole he still had this charm and intrigue. Which you WOULD find in someone with his personality.
PS: Why is the name so damn long?
Final Rating: 4/5
