The thing with reading is， you can't just close your eyes 'til it's overThis volume has me conflicted。 I love horror， but I try to stay away from realistic depictions of extreme acts of violence， sadism， maiming and torture。 Unfortunately there is a lot of that in volume 8。 Definitely not an enjoyable read。 Oshimi devotes almost two chapters to Sakurane。 Through flashbacks of his childhood and teenage years we learn about the origin of his vampire obsession and that he's a sociopath who started The thing with reading is， you can't just close your eyes 'til it's overThis volume has me conflicted。 I love horror， but I try to stay away from realistic depictions of extreme acts of violence， sadism， maiming and torture。 Unfortunately there is a lot of that in volume 8。 Definitely not an enjoyable read。 Oshimi devotes almost two chapters to Sakurane。 Through flashbacks of his childhood and teenage years we learn about the origin of his vampire obsession and that he's a sociopath who started his carreer as a monster torturing and killing animals。 Oshimi shows us in excrusiatingl graphic detail how Sakurane is the real demon in the story， not the vampires。 Kudos to him for creating an utterly unlikable， twisted character with no redeeming qualities whatsoever， but I didn't care about Sakurane's past or his motivations。 I was just rooting for him to die asap so the focus could shift back to the other characters。I think I get why Oshimi tried to push the story into yet another direction。 I mean， from a creative standpoint， as an artistic exercise， I can sort make sense of this。 And I also believe that the primary goal of art is not to please but to make us feel things and think about stuff。 So I get the point but I hope in the next volume Oshimi moves on from this in the next volume。 。。。more

4。5/5 ⭐️This book really surprised me because most of it is the backstory of Sakurane。 This is probably the most disturbing book in the series so far。 It was interesting to see how he went from serial killer to cult leader， and how it all stems from his childhood。 This change， the memory sequences were designed in a great way because it shown in a different style for it was done with pencil panels。 But the ending cliffhanger has me really excited for what is to come next。

Poor deeply troubled Yuuki-san。。。 even he didn’t deserve that。

CW: Animal cruelty and child abuse。 I knew these were violent， but torturing animals and children is way too much for me。 I had to skip several pages

The art is very nice。 I wish the character they fleshed out in this volume was fleshed out much earlier

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 This one was really hard for me to read。 There's a cat tortured and killed in this volume and that hit me hard。 I'm still hyperventilating and crying because of that scene。 I'm going to watch something light and funny now。 This one was really hard for me to read。 There's a cat tortured and killed in this volume and that hit me hard。 I'm still hyperventilating and crying because of that scene。 I'm going to watch something light and funny now。 。。。more

Goddamn it， this book really is horrifying。 It's not even the over the top blood and gore you might expect that usually gets people saying "Oh my this is horrifying" it's just the simple actions of one man。 So we ended the last volume on a cliffhanger。 A friend just wanting to help his other friend survive but of course it isn't that easy。 For each moment where we cheer that the heroes might come out of this， it gets darker and sicker。 The backstory of the neckslasher is great， shows he was ALWA Goddamn it， this book really is horrifying。 It's not even the over the top blood and gore you might expect that usually gets people saying "Oh my this is horrifying" it's just the simple actions of one man。 So we ended the last volume on a cliffhanger。 A friend just wanting to help his other friend survive but of course it isn't that easy。 For each moment where we cheer that the heroes might come out of this， it gets darker and sicker。 The backstory of the neckslasher is great， shows he was ALWAYS a piece of shit， and the ending was。。。well just fucked up as hell。 I need more of this but I'm reading as slow as possible because I don't want it to end。 A 5 out of 5。 。。。more

Este volumen parece relleno enfocándose en un personaje que no me interesa mucho。 Es otro caso de que entiendo lo que quiere hacer， pero no me parece entretenido。 Hasta ahora me parece el volumen más débil， ya que quiso dar trasfondo a un personaje que simplemente está loco， pero no explicó cómo la gente que lo sigue llegó al punto enfermizo en el que están。 El dibujo en cuanto a calidad sigue igual。 La forma en la que los flashback se presentaron fue muy creativa。 Ya que es un pasado que es pre Este volumen parece relleno enfocándose en un personaje que no me interesa mucho。 Es otro caso de que entiendo lo que quiere hacer， pero no me parece entretenido。 Hasta ahora me parece el volumen más débil， ya que quiso dar trasfondo a un personaje que simplemente está loco， pero no explicó cómo la gente que lo sigue llegó al punto enfermizo en el que están。 El dibujo en cuanto a calidad sigue igual。 La forma en la que los flashback se presentaron fue muy creativa。 Ya que es un pasado que es preferible no recordar， esas secuencias parecen casi bocetos。 Estuvo bien， pero lo considero el volumen más débil de todos。 。。。more

The last volume of this actually scarred me， I've never read anything so violent before， it was brutal。 This is more of the same， with haunting visuals。 This series is fantastic， it's completely unrelenting and you never know what'll happen next。 The last volume of this actually scarred me， I've never read anything so violent before， it was brutal。 This is more of the same， with haunting visuals。 This series is fantastic， it's completely unrelenting and you never know what'll happen next。 。。。more

Another action-packed volume。 Loved the Sakurane flashback， really helps cement one of the main themes of this series - childhood trauma。 Oshimi once again changed up his style for the flashback， this time using only soft pencils; I really enjoyed it。

The battle in the cult compound keeps seesawing back and forth in an almost ridiculous way， and we are subjected to a secret origin of Masami "Vampire Boy" Sakurane， the twisted villain of the last several volumes。 Not my favorite entry of the series， but at least it looks like things will be back on track as we head into the final two books。 The battle in the cult compound keeps seesawing back and forth in an almost ridiculous way， and we are subjected to a secret origin of Masami "Vampire Boy" Sakurane， the twisted villain of the last several volumes。 Not my favorite entry of the series， but at least it looks like things will be back on track as we head into the final two books。 。。。more

Just when you thought the malevolence could not possibly intensify。。。 Sakurane’s backstory is every bit a study in serial killer profiling 101。 Which doesn’t make it any less disturbing。 The deviation in Oshimi sensei’s art to un-inked penciled panels for the memory sequences provides a cool parallel to the formative period of the serial killing， cult leader。 This is a very brutal， tense， and frightening volume。 Another conservatively scripted release with great storytelling through art。 Well do Just when you thought the malevolence could not possibly intensify。。。 Sakurane’s backstory is every bit a study in serial killer profiling 101。 Which doesn’t make it any less disturbing。 The deviation in Oshimi sensei’s art to un-inked penciled panels for the memory sequences provides a cool parallel to the formative period of the serial killing， cult leader。 This is a very brutal， tense， and frightening volume。 Another conservatively scripted release with great storytelling through art。 Well done！ 。。。more

Still strong and surprising。 Seems to lose focus， though。

When I said the previous volume was the most messed up so far， I was not expecting this。。。 We get to see the memories of a psychopath and the effect he's had on people， creating his own cult。 Although the plot is still messy， the series does seem to be slowly improving。。。 When I said the previous volume was the most messed up so far， I was not expecting this。。。 We get to see the memories of a psychopath and the effect he's had on people， creating his own cult。 Although the plot is still messy， the series does seem to be slowly improving。。。 。。。more

Cultos， dioses falsos， redención y tal vez un poco de esperanza？ Personajes que solo buscan la felicidad ya sea de una manera egoísta o no， pero o eso lo que caracteriza a los eres humanos？La historia se ha desviado mucho de lo que creía iba a ser la trama principal， sin embargo no puedo dejar de leerla。
