This was so much more unsettling than I remember the anime being. Like when I saw this was classified as horror, I was thinking “yea I’m sure it is for kids”, but no, even at 28 some of the panels were creepy as hell. The first volume is usually foundational and this was no different. We get introduced to our main group of kiddos: Emma, Norman, and Ray; as well as our villians: Mom and the demons the kids are all signed up to be fed to. The anime remains pretty true to this volume, so none of this information was really new to me, but excited to keep reading because I know it will start getting more intense as the kids start to prepare for their escape.
