I'll be honest, at first it caught my interest because of the artwork but I was worried that the story wouldn't have been as good. I am so glad to admit that my worries were for nothing, as this is by far one of the most well-balanced manga I've ever read - easily in my top 3. Here I'll try to explain you why I think so.

Let's start with a thought about its classification, what's the prevalent element in this manga? You'd think it's the horror one, but is it really true? I find that, while reading it, the amount of horror is an additional part to a slice of life manga, in which the comedy elements are perfectly placed to balance out the scary parts. In more than a few chapters I found myself exquisitely surprised at how well they go together, bringing an impressive mixture of fun and terror.

So, what about the story? What makes it so great? I'll try to be as generic as I can to avoid spoiling anything. Initially, the story begins with the main character starting to experience paranormal activities and acting accordingly to make them stop, but as time goes on the focus shifts more on the characters growth and it makes it so that you can relate to them on what they're feeling and thinking in almost every situation. To put it simply, reading this manga feels like reading about a person trying to overcome a mental illness through a journey full of hardships and to me this is marvellous and a bit poetic.

As for the characters, even though some of them aren't really anything special you can tell that you need to have this contrast between wonderfully written characters, such as the main character, and someone more "normal" like her best friend for the story to keep the balance between the real world and the more obscure paranormal one. Also, I'm also very intrigued by the development that some side characters are going to have in the next chapters, but I'll stop here for now and say nothing more. Just be sure to look forward to it.

Lastly, the part that attracted me the most and got me to read this incredible manga: its art. The art style used for drawing the characters is one to be expected of a normal slice of life manga, with charming and soothing traits that make you think of having a good time reading a relaxing story about some everyday stuff. On the contrary, the monsters are gross-looking, surreal but so detailed that they almost look real at the same time, just like they should look like in a great horror themed painting. The greatness of the art shines when the two are shown together; the contrast gives off an atmosphere of darkness and despair hardly achievable with other techniques. Obviously, an all-realistic style is more fitting for an horror, but since the main objective of this manga is not to scare the reader, rather to make them feel uneasy, I believe that it achieves its purpose splendidly.

In conclusion, this manga is a roller coaster of emotions: it can make you feel sad, anxious and scared as well as happy, relieved and amused. I'm so glad I got to find such an unexpectedly brilliant manga. I am convinced that if it keeps up with this pace, it's going to be a true masterpiece, something that you shouldn't miss no matter what.
