[gustavo · Rating 4 out of 5]

metaphysical detectives, reincarnation, weird supernatural stuff, doomed lovers, killing as a metaphor for love; how can you not love this book

I'll write a review later my head hurts so much it feels like it might split any second

Kitayama is very strong at trick writing but I find wildly fluxuates in his character writing, that being the case here where I think a lot of the tricks and premise are super solid but the characters didn't compel me that much. It's a shame for a premise thats this all out it doesn't do anything that absurd ultimately. Maybe I'm spoiled by Maijos style of maximalist writing, but I think a lot of his Kirigiri work is still more solid than this even in absurd factor, so I guess I'll chalk it up to writing evolution. Thanks to Mitsuda Madoy for the translation!
