There is a lot that I love about this manga. For one, the first arc is suspenseful and very tense. The clever way the children go about their escape was very interesting to read. Plus I honestly disagree with some people who feel like the followup arc when it becomes more of a survival story is where the story declines. I absolutely loved seeing the outside world, meeting the demons, seeing just how human some of them can be while still remaining monstrous. Their politics, their society, biology, the demons were very interesting.

HOWEVER.... while I have a lot to praise this manga about, towards the end, it really did become sloppy. I won't give any spoilers, but what I will say is that there were so many butt pulls that it felt like a dump on an overall good message for a story. It felt like a backhand to the face. I mean, not everything about the ending was bad, but certain parts did feel lazy.

I'd overall still recommend it, but it felt like by the end it was "consequence, what's that when with the power of family anything is possible". Some of the characters and especially the art though REALLY make this a must read, especially with Halloween just around the corner.
