It's funny, it's cute, it has horror-comedy, it has an explicitly trans character: this manga rules.

Art: Very cute. It's a solidly good artstyle with many nice features. You can tell the artist really knows how to draw gore too, even if they don't employ it often.

Character: This cast is so endearing and I loved seeing them become friends. While not the most memorable, they carry the plot very well.

Story: While it drags in places, this is a fun, fast-paced romcom with a fairly solid slow build. Not every plot point finds a satisfying resolution, but everything important gets resolved and I liked it from beginning ... to end.

This is a light read I'd highly recommend, especially if you're a shoujo fan who enjoys horror elements. (There's not much horror per say, but you need to be able to stomach a bit of light body horror)

The other reviews are understating how rushed the ending was. Honestly really disappointing. Had a bunch of interesting stuff going on, the themes about confronting your own mortality wasn't anything revolutionary but felt like it could have gone somewhere with a bit more time.

The romance was pretty bland and honestly the worst part about it, I don't think I ever really cared. Felt like the romance from space patrol luluco, really was just 'girl loves cardboard if it's attractive enough' core.

There being a trans character was pretty neat, would have loved to have seen her more fleshed out. Honestly probably the biggest casualty ... of the series ending so prematurely. She never really got to be a character, there were a few hints at nuance, backstory, and her own potential romance with childhood friend guy. Wish we got to see whatever her arc would have been.

I'm pretty confident this series would have been incredible with like two more volumes. Idk, maybe one day the author will revisit this series, or maybe this is it. If there was one message that this manga had it was to accept the end. So I guess I accept that this is it, doesn't make it suck less though.
