This story is set in Japan. It stars a girl, Morino, and a boy who is sort of a friend to Morino. He is not named. They are classmates in the last year of high school. They are obsessed with serial killers and death. The boy tells part of the story in the first person. There are other narrators who tell their story in the first person. Morino is always shown through the eyes of others. The boy appears to be a psychopath. There are serial killers in the book. There is child and animal death. There is mutilation of people and animals. I found the book fascinating. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to read a very dark horror book that gets in the minds of some very disturbing individuals. If any of the issues I mentioned are a problem for you, you might want to pass on this book.

I should definitely read more mangas!

The Episodic nature of the story did not bring everything together as neatly as i‘d liked but the ending is a real highlight so it makes up for most of that.

The art was beautiful, grotesque and disturbing, which i really loved!
I sometimes had troubles differentiating between certain characters though…

It was a super fun read and went over too quickly :)

This was a little hard to read because the plot is creepy and bleak, but interesting. I like that in the Afterword he explains that this doesn't really reflect a lot of goth culture, though the main characters are goths. The plot twists in each story were interesting and I couldn't guess most of them, though the last story confused me a bit.
