Kiriko was a really whatever manga. The gore was good, I guess, but on the whole it was painfully generic and half baked. At least it's short, only took me around 10-20min to read maybe, but it comes at the cost of the characters having no character whatsoever.

Art: The art is pretty alright, nothing that will wow you, but it does the job. A good amount of detail is added when needed, and some art of the interiors is pretty good. Some of shots of the monster did unsettle me a bit and I like how it changed throughout the chapters.

Story: Typical "oh we're in ... an abandoned school in the countryside and creepy stuff is going on" storyline. You can tell who'll live from a mile away. There was a twist I didn't see coming in the end but otherwise ehh. Characters are pretty boring, not helped by the short amount of screentime they have, and they all fall into common archetypes. It could have been a whole lot better, but, it could have also been a lot worse.

Overall, if you just wanna see some gore and a somewhat fucked up looking monster, and you have a half hour to spare, I guess you could read this, but I'd recommend looking elsewhere.
