I randomly stumbled upon this manga and the art style, female main character and horror theme peaked my interest.

Story: 7/10
On the one hand, the story is quite original. It takes elements from quite a number of universes and create a "coherent" one with it (real life zombies, video game, parallel world etc...). Moreover it takes places in a world not often linked with such themes (modern world but with dissonant elements: geisha etc...).
On the other hand, this work is quite short and I think the story does not get enough time to be developped and even with the twists I had some difficulties to stay ... focused on it.

Art: 9.5/10
I am not really objective on this point, but this is the exact art style I love: perfectly clean, not too much details or too few. Actually some elements are really detailed and some others are just simple clean shapes. Maybe a little bit too focused on the characters and not often enough on the environnement. Nevertheless it creates a great atmosphere.

Characters: 7/10
Good points: strong female lead, which is not that frequent, and, linked to the previous part, really good characters design in my opinion.
Bad point: since the story is quite short the characters do not get enough de development, it's harder to relate to them.

Enjoyment: 6.5/10
I liked this universe but I found it a little empty (as stated twice before, maybe due to the story lenght I think). That is the kind of creating I will remember as something I liked and found artistic but that will not leave a deep souvenir.

Overall: 8/10
I recommend it as I really liked it: it has a decent story and characters but especially a good athmosphere and a great art design even if not really original (problem is: art style appreciation is really dependant on the person)
