After reading the first few chapters, this manga didn't seem particularly different or inspiring. I’m not very fond of horror or gore, and I definitely don’t like science fiction, but I continued reading, just because I was in the mood to explore another genre. I was very surprised to find that I was REALLY enjoying the story as it progressed. Like, a lot.

The plotline is definitely unique, and very interesting. The pacing of the story is great. One of the charms of this manga is the way the plot is gradually revealed to you, instead of giving you a massive info dump like you see in many science fiction stories.

My favorite part of this manga are the characters. Finding original backstories in any type of media can be difficult; everything seems to be reused over and over again. I was blown away by how well the backstories are depicted, and how much depth they add to each character. The main characters are interesting, and lovable (despite being so sick in the head and deplorable).

The art is odd, but overall gorgeous. Character design is unique, and notably detailed. The same can be said for the, ahem, creatures featured in this manga.

I highly recommend you give this a read! I would also add, if you’re a fan of gore, this manga is perfect for you.
