All the side characters play a big role in the climactic finale and they all get the satisfying resolutions they deserve. The villain is merciless and is actively involved with the plot at all times. Suffering and grief is portrayed with rich emotion. Volume 4 was the weakest of the series but even that one had a strong finish that eventually led to an even stronger ending. It's got body swapping, spirit battles, mind-bending powers, ghosts and demons, heavy metal culture, blood and guts, tears and trauma, it's a thrilling ride all the way through.Įvery volume packed a handful of punches. It really does rival the best of Stephen King and other big horror writers of the same ilk. I was impressed by how realistic and human the characters are, there are so many unique people that are developed with utmost respect and is an example of diversity done extremely well. I've been reading manga my entire life, but I confess that I never got into American comics and graphic novels (until now that is.) This series managed to win me over and open up an entire new medium of fiction to me.
