boy oh, BOY is the art so so viscerally good. my favorite part of this manga is just how nice the art is to look at. so high-effort.

the story veers into slightly-too-much territory for me. I read this for the first time as a child and that terrible (from a 'wow, that's disturbing' perspective) scene with the girl and the clown stuck in my head for weeks, I swear to god.

I don't really care for vampire horror or child protagonists who act like adults. maybe? some kids? are like that? but I never knew any child like that. tanks the believability a little bit, ... but eh whatever.

check it out if you like good art and (perhaps nowadays turned typical) subversion of the sparkling vampires trope.

it was fine. not nearly as scary as super eyepatch wolf made it out to be and some parts are goofy in ways that the author probably did not intend. maybe psychological horror just isn't for me. also, this manga goes on for way, way longer than it should. the prospect of a scary, sociopathic mother is only going to stay scary for so long.

art is good; the artist has a firm grasp on human expression and utilizes them well, though some expressions are silly when they were meant to be serious. the characters are believable to an extent. the boy annoys me which is ... just a me-issue but I guess he's realistic enough (if I had to judge because I never knew people like that). the story drags and dithers; I get the faint feeling that the author did not really invest in much detailed planning.

overall, it was fine until the sleepwalking-dream-sequence when it felt like it lost the plot. I don't remember what chapter that was but that's when I quit.
