I enjoyed the concept for the story but never felt the horror I have experienced in similar stories. Overall i found the story a bit boring, the characters didn't have much to humanize them. My favorite part of the sotory were the final few pages, and I wish the rest of the story had the same impact as the last couple chapters. The standout for the manga was the illustrations, the illustrator did a great job of creating an unsettling and creepy feeling without being too blatent and in your face with the horror. 

Thank you netgally for the arc of this book.
