I didn't like how most of the twists were presented. It's great when you are given a perspective, and then you see another perspective which gives the situation another meaning. However, the earlier chapters in this manga straight-up lie to the reader. Both main characters do and say things that are completely opposite to what we are shown in the latter chapters, when the truth is discovered.
For instance, it's nice if you show a panel of blood splatter, then you show a character's face getting dirty with blood, and then you show them crying. What you CAN'T do is showing how a character kills
...
someone, straight-up admits they killed them, and then you show the same scene but said character never does any of this. It feels really cheap and non-sensical, it kind of reminded me of Heavy Rain.
It does a good job depicting how miserable the lives of the main characters are, and how their lives were ruined by awful people who didn't give a shit about any of them, although I think it's over-the-top, a little too cartoonish. The manga tried too hard to be edgy and depressing, and in the end it came off as a little unrealistic. The resolution of the mystery was lacking, as it left plot holes everywhere. The ending was sad, though.
The characters are pretty plain and sometimes even straight-up stupid: there are times when you just want to punch them in the face so they use their brains a little. The main villain is particularly bad, they are just so cartoonishly evil you can't take them seriously. By the way, every men in this story are complete assholes, they're painted in an appaling light.
Even so, the manga has its strenghts; particularly the art, the atmosphere, and the tone. The writing could have been better.
