Thank you to NetGalley and Kodansha Comics for the ARC. My opinions are my own. 

Have you ever regretted telling a secret to someone? Probably, but not as much as these people ... To think this much tension can be created from a little confession. Of course, circumstances. 

I don't think I have read such a tense manga before. Most of them lack tension, but have plenty of "ew", or all the tension is wrapped up the moment it is brought to life. Here it begins early and holds you at gunpoint all the way to the end.

The story itself doesn't span that much time, but it feels longer because the chapters creep slowly. It is a very very slow story. And you get a lot of monologues. Hope you like reading people's thoughts. 

Final ranking and star rating? 
4.25 stars, A tier. Fantastic manga. Typical manga artstyle, cool little plot. Will absolutely recommend it.
