A masterpiece！

To be honest， I’m not entirely sure what I just read！ But it was interesting to say the least！

I personally really like the ending。 I have no words， I just keep thinking about and something new comes up。

So ends out story of pretentious teenagers and their angst and ennui， and you know what？ it was addictive and fun and I grew to really enjoy the art。

Vol 10 - 4/5Kasuga’s redemption arc has been quite the experience， I never imagined I would end up liking him。 He’s really manned up and taken responsibility for his past。 The next volume is the last， I’m rooting for him to find happiness and redeem himself once and for all。***Vol 11 - 5/5Wow， I really didn't expect this series to have such an emotional and hopeful conclusion。 The first half of the series was mostly mindless shock horror， but it slowly transformed into a tale of redemption and g Vol 10 - 4/5Kasuga’s redemption arc has been quite the experience， I never imagined I would end up liking him。 He’s really manned up and taken responsibility for his past。 The next volume is the last， I’m rooting for him to find happiness and redeem himself once and for all。***Vol 11 - 5/5Wow， I really didn't expect this series to have such an emotional and hopeful conclusion。 The first half of the series was mostly mindless shock horror， but it slowly transformed into a tale of redemption and growth。 It's a story that shows you that a person isn't defined by their past， they can always make the choice to turn their life around。 Kasuga was a gross and hateable person at the beginning of the series， it's amazing how much he turned himself around after confronting his dark past and confessing his sins so bravely。 For a while， it seemed like this story was going to end with Kasuga falling into madness and doing something evil， but he made the choice to redeem himself and he did a pretty damn good job of it for what it's worth。 This series ended up reminding me of Oyasumi Pun Pun。 。。。more

This tale of teenage rage and alienation ends with the whimper of maturation， as so often happens in life。 The characters get some closure with one another as the story circles around to the beginning using the cliche of one of them becoming a writer who then writes their story。 A little slow and maudlin after the outrageous events of early volumes， but a satisfying and effective finale。

I’ve been meaning to read this series for a while now but after finishing the final volume last week， I feel like I maybe should have given the anime a try first before I dove in。 I found it hard to get into the characters headspace， mainly Kasuga’s during the first two volumes but enjoyed his redemption arc in the later volumes。 Nakamura was an interesting character but I was ultimately left disappointed with how her character was handled in the final volumes， the closure Shizuo Oshimi gave at I’ve been meaning to read this series for a while now but after finishing the final volume last week， I feel like I maybe should have given the anime a try first before I dove in。 I found it hard to get into the characters headspace， mainly Kasuga’s during the first two volumes but enjoyed his redemption arc in the later volumes。 Nakamura was an interesting character but I was ultimately left disappointed with how her character was handled in the final volumes， the closure Shizuo Oshimi gave at the end of the series felt， to me， kinda superficial and unsatisfying。The art was fine but the visual motifs were great！ I also enjoyed how this was one of the most realistic horrors I’ve read so far。 I also loved the tone of this series too！Probably not a series I’ll recommend but I’m happy to have a very different horror series on my shelves！ 。。。more

While I felt the last volume elevated the series， this one takes a step back， and gives a okay ending to a pretty long series。 So it all comes down to accepting the past。 You have to visit it， accept it， and only then can you move on。 It's the path of multiple characters， their regrets， and their loss and how they plan on wrapping it up so they can go to the next step。 Kasuga decides to visit Nakamura to finally figure out his feelings and thoughts but this time he has his new girlfriend， Tokiwa While I felt the last volume elevated the series， this one takes a step back， and gives a okay ending to a pretty long series。 So it all comes down to accepting the past。 You have to visit it， accept it， and only then can you move on。 It's the path of multiple characters， their regrets， and their loss and how they plan on wrapping it up so they can go to the next step。 Kasuga decides to visit Nakamura to finally figure out his feelings and thoughts but this time he has his new girlfriend， Tokiwa， to help him get through it。 There's also a bonus ending chapter that covers Nakamura first time meeting Kasuga。 Good: The art， as always， is pretty great。 The Tokiwa and Kasuga relationship is still the strong part of the love stuff。 I also liked seeing Nakamura's view point and now understand why she's so fucked up in a lot of ways。 Oh and the fact they showed the future for multiple characters gave a much needed closure that I didn't know I wanted。 Bad: The stuff with Nakamura seemed weird and odd。 I also thought the death of Kasuga's grandfather wasn't all that well handled。 A lot of the same shocked panels and faces the author loves to do felt like waste。 Overall， it was a solid volume but nothing I didn't expect from。 Still， overall a interesting series if nothing else。 A slice of life for Japan。 3 out of 5。 。。。more
