I don't really like doing reviews, as I'm not the best writer, but I just love Hideout so much I have to speak.
Hideout is kind of a psychological thriller, i can't really say much about the story as i cannot convey its greatness without giving spoilers.

The thrill is definitely here, and i just love the art too, some people says that it's predictibal so maybe I'm just dumb, but i really didn't see it coming.... So if you're quite slow, give it a go! You will definitely love it!

It's kind of embarrassing, but I tried to do it like other reviews... ... and say stuff like, You can compare it with Confession of Fukumoto Nobuyuki or Blue Heaven, but the reality is that it's not exactly the same.
Tbh ain't got to say a lot; it's 9 chapters; just read it ! You will probably love...or maybe not.

SUMMARY:Buy it if you like horror and suspense storys even if is generic.
I am not a fan of terror, it does not cause me anything, but I must admit that this work has 2 remarkable things, it maintains suspense very well, in addition its atmosphere is dark, tense and unpleasant, this is supported by the visuals that are really very good, It's good to read it one night you feel like being scared, recommended if you're a fan of that kind of stories, but if not, ignore it.

Resumen:Compralo si te gustan las historias de terror y suspenso aunque sean genéricas.
No soy fan del terror, no ... me causa nada, pero debo reconocer que esta obra tiene 2 cosas destacables,mantiene muy bien el suspenso, además su atmosfera es oscura, tensa y desagradable, esto es apoyado por los visuales que son realmente muy buenos, esta bien para leerlo una noche que tengas ganas de sentir miedo, recomendado si eres fan de ese tipo historias, pero si no, pasa de el.

Apologies if this review is all-over-the-place, since that's how my thoughts are on this short Manga. Reading Hideout is not unlike going to a fancy Italian restaurant and only ordering breadsticks. Sure, the breadsticks are great by-themselves, but there's nothing that differentiates them from any other restaurant. On top of that, you leave on an empty stomach. This sums up Hideout. Neither thought-provoking, nor shocking enough to afford being memorable.

The subpar plot lacks any sense of originality or intrigue to support the meticulously drawn panels. In fact, I'll sum it up for you: A man hates his wife, lures her into a mysterious ... cave, and attempts to kill her. He succeeds, but fails, but then doesn't? He's also a terrible dad, and him being "humanized," only justifies why the wife hates him (he didn't supervise his child, and he walked off their building, while he was working). How bad of a father do you have to be, in order for you to be this negligent. Anyway, man decides to stay in cave, writes a letter which somehow makes it to the outside of the cave (despite there being no exit to the cave), in order to attract fellow psychopathic husbands (at least that's what the author leads me to believe).

Any arguments that it's deep, due to it's usage of symbolism, is an outright joke. 'Oh, the monster child is an allegory of his own child, and the mother is symbolic of his own wife, and this displays how he's abandoning them again even in hell.' Do you think I was born yesterday? C'mon now. This is not deep. Throwing metaphors and symbolism so unsubtly in your face is not deep. Even a child could figure this out.
