If this was longer I'd think it was a better story, it even seemed like it was going to be longer. Surprisingly and sadly too, it wasn't and it ended with just two volumes.

This doesn't mean it wasn't a good, interesting, intriguing story. I enjoyed reading it, and even tho the romance was short, it filled my heart and then broke it into a million pieces (just like good tragedies should).

A very out of the ordinary story, specially for what I normally read (I had a really hard time at the beginning because I'm not good with gore), but it managed to get ... my attention and I read it all in one sitting.

Definitely recommended if you enjoy good tragedies and interesting stories.

A very intriguing story that caught my eye from the first chapter as a fan of gore and supernatural I didn't expect to get this realistic story about zombies and mad scientists. The slowly growing relationship between the main 2 characters and their personalities are so well written and executed I almost forgot I was reading a BL genre. The sketchy art style is perfect for a story found in realism. This is truly one of the best work of the Arthur in my opinion and the story will stay with me for a long time,
I recommend it if you like something different and ... short story to read about zombies.

For personal purposes this is a 10/10, but critically I'll give it an 8/10.
I'm very early on in my BL journey but with everyone I read I'm like, 'no, THIS is the best one' but I sincerely think this one will have a little place in my heart for a very long time.

The pacing of this was very nice, despite its length the relationship has a slow build to the point I found myself getting audibly excited when things started moving, which is rare for me to be caught up like this. I would've liked to have seen more of them: both of the ... lead up to a relationship and the result of it.

[SPOILER] I think it's not having much of them being together that makes the ending feel quite rushed and therefore it didn't have the impact I expected it to. It was a little predictable, but that's not a bad thing really. What little of the 'official' relationship you see is really worth it, very sweet and bitter at the same time. [/SPOILER]

I don't think I could've ever gotten enough of it, really.

I must say I really enjoyed the homoerotic quality to some of the earlier gore and I wish that was in it for longer. Some of those panels are absolutely perfect and without seeing them, I'm afraid I sound insane referring to them as 'homoerotic'. There are other small personal reasons that this is a 10/10 but I won't bore you with them.
Just take it as I highly recommend you read iif you want something a little unconventional and sweet, with nice art and a satisfying build up.
