The story starts off promising, since I enjoy incestious relationships, horror/gore, and demonic creatures. Yet the premise is pretty much the only good thing. The story went downhill due to unnecessary plot twists, which actually made the whole thing much less interesting.

The art wasn't pleasant. The artist has a unique style, which I appreciate, yet did not enjoy. Still, nothing too bad.

The characters are even worse than the wishy-washy plot. Utsutsu is the mediocre big brother, who's pretty much in love with his sister. Yume is the cutesy little sister, who returns his feelings. Doesn't sound that bad, yet the characters are unlikable to dreadful. The father is a major asshole who beats up his wife and small children for fun. Even after the divorce , he continues tormenting his son. Yet, later in the story, he gets portrayed as a cool, badass character. Now I often like the "villain" over the the hero, yet this light hearted portrayal of the abusing parent is unacceptable. Utsutsu's class mates are cute, yet again, just bland and dispensable characters that can't even be called "supporting".

As you've proably guessed, I didn't enjoy this manga. I've started it because everything I've heard about it sparked my interested, yet ended up continuing reading it just because "meh, maybe it get's better". Didn't happen.

I've been thinking for 5 minutes if I should this give an overall rating of 4 or 3. Decided to go for 3 because I wouldn't call this "decent". If you're into the genre, you'll probably like the gory parts, nothing else. My recommendation: skip it.
