Side notes: Some readers link this manga to Danganronpa and especially to Komaeda Nagito though as I fast checked there seems to be no relation to Danganronpa by the authors works. So keeping this in reserve you can pretty well know what kind of feeling this manga brings up to. As a storyteller Nakayama Atsushi has a strong basis and a bit of variety in works.
Art is in good if not in great level and it's not fixed by a certain style. The story start also relates loosely to an actual historical event in Japanese history (Genpei war). - I wouldn't have know this fact if there hadn't been one knowledgeable reader who mentioned that there is actual history lurking behind this. But if not thinking about that it feels to have a certain potential... although I don't usually go for horror stories.>.<
P.S. R17 mainly due of bloody scenes but if jumping over those people over R13 can read this too.
