it was ok

bookshelves: arc, comics, in-translation, net-galley, read-2021

I thought the premise had promise, the art is mostly gorgeous, and there are some interesting and creepy aspects (like the brothers' statues) but this isn't the manga for me for a few reasons. First EVERYTHING. IS. SO. DRAMATIC. Just a wee bit too over the top for me, and drama and plot convenience are prioritized over a totally coherent story. Second, I'm having a difficult time with the protagonist sticking around her (view spoiler) love interest and his abusive band of brothers. I'm sure this has an audience (look at Twilight and True Crime!), but it's not for me right now.

**Thanks to the artist, publisher, and NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
