SPOILER WARNING

This may be an unpopular opinion, and you are allowed to disagree with me all you want, but I thought this manga was fantastic from beginning to end. I will admit that some parts near the end were a bit rushed, like Norman's redemption and Isabella's death, but it wasn't so terrible that it ruined my enjoyment of the series as a whole. It's honestly such an interesting and compelling world with lots of great characters and wonderful artwork, and I couldn't recommend it enough, especially with whatever the hell cloverworks is doing with season 2. Something that did kind of annoy me was how passive Emma was towards Peter in the ending. I know that taking another person's life is a hard thing to do, even if they deserve it, but I feel like she gave him a little too much mercy. Other than some minor problems, this was a wild ride of a manga and I will not stop gushing about how much I adore it. I loved all the psychological horror aspects, the farm system is such an interesting and unique concept that I've never seen played out in this way before. The concept of children being eaten by monsters has been around for centuries, but I've never seen it with such a creative spin. Not to mention Emma (in my opinion) is one of the best female protagonists out there. I feel like a lot of people think to make a "strong" female character, she has to be cold and harsh, but Emma completely turns this troupe on it's head. I loved watching her grow and change, along with all the other characters, especially Norman and Ray, I could write a whole essay about their friendship oh my god. Sorry if this just seems like incoherent rambles, I'm just really passionate about this series.
