Reviews

[David Doel · Rating 3 out of 5]

I see that there are perhaps 20+ volumes of this series; I have 9. I'm glad I don't have more because I can only stand a limited amount of pessimism regarding my fellow human beings.

8/10

[C. · Rating 4 out of 5]

this manga does an excellent job at portraying self-harm and the emotions that come with it.
it is very graphic though, so trigger warning for the entire series, but exactly Suenobu's not shying away from portraying scenes that are difficult to look at is what makes this manga so important.
I think it really will help people who have gone through similar things feel less alone.

I don’t know why I continue to read this

[Dennise · Rating 3 out of 5]

I would literally drop out

[Samy Sanzana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Están todas locas dios mio en verdad lo menos que merecen es morir que se yo.
Igual lo de la Manami siendo ya casi jefe de una mafia es lo peor de todo, de resto este manga es bastante bueno

GIRL YOU ARE IN DANGER

[Unicat · Rating 5 out of 5]

Une série très touchante à propos de la persécution à l'école. Manga très éducatif et prenant, bien qu'assez violent.

[Jenifer Dale · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another intense volume and the author is not shying away from the issues. As stated in previous reviews this is a graphic manga that will make you cry.
