So, I really wanted to read this when I read the blurb, much darker than I'd expect for Manga. I was intrigued. I really enjoyed this and found the subject matter while dark, very original and very different from the norm. The only real issue I had is that the #ARC was dotted with watermarks throughout which made some of the text hard to read. The author handles the rather grim subject matter with delicacy and ticked all the boxes for me. I was worried it would be very clichéd or mocking but the subject matter is handled with real sensitivity. I would highly recommend this and plan to read the rest of the series.
