Naoko is a teenage girl who got bullied pretty badly in junior high (if you could call it bullying, it was pretty much torture). She is sent to a mental hospital because of it. And when escapes she swear to take revenge on those who ruined her, and anyone that stands in her way...

The story was superrrr good. But all the unnecessary gore and guts? Yeah, not so good. I'm a huge horror fan, so I was super excited to read this when it got recommended to me. And I can take some gore (I loved the saw movies after all XD) But this was just tooooooo much. There was no point to half of killing.

Naruto was a huge ass hat. Yeah, blame Naoko for being the reason why she got bullied *eye roll* You chose to torment her, and now you're paying the price. I'm definitely not feeling bad when he dies.

3.4/5

كان هذا دمويًا ووحشيًا للغاية ، احببت فكرة المانغا لكن طريقة القتل و كل هذا الدم كان مقزز للغاية 🤮
الرسم كان رهيييب 🖤🔥
أحببت سرعة الأحداث البطلة تقوم بالقضاء على فريستها بأسرع ما يمكن مما يجعل المانغا أحداثها سريعة و غير مملة
🎃🔪
تدور القصة حول هذه الفتاة التي تدعى ناوكو التي هربت
من مصحة عقلية للانتقام ممن قاموا بالتنمر عليها في المرحلة الإعدادية وكل من يقف في طريقها.
🎃🥴💀
تبدأ في الانتقام منهم واحدًا واحدًا

Actually, I've read a couple of volumes, but for the life of me I cannot remember where did I stop.
Tons of guts and blood, it's gore galore. The art is so good, gnarly but weirdly beautiful, in a creepy way ofc, which is perfect.

I like the Carrie vibes and I not only support women's rights but also women's wrongs, but at the end of the day I just wasn't that into the story and I found it repetitive and empty.

This is great for those slasher cravings, and if you want realistic and gruesome art done beautifully, search no more.

This manga is wild! There is no waiting for the action or gore to kick off because it hits the ground running from the very first chapter/pages. It is gory and definitely not for the squeamish. The story revolves around this girl named Naoko who escaped from a mental asylum to exact revenge on those that bullied her in junior high and all those that stand in her way. The art is beau and I love it. It's definitely a fun slasher! Can't wait to see where the story goes! 🎃🔪

The book started perfectly. Gore, horror, laugh out loud moments - the whole thing. Somewhere in the middle though... why the fuck are they using aave and the n-word??? Like, the author decided, yes, I'm going to be as racist as I possibly can. They do stop, after a fashion but then they go for weird steriotypes from other countries.

And I must emphasize this, that description of DID is false.

ok se me hizo muuy sangriento; y eso es mucho decir ajsjs

Me gustó me gustó, aunque también me impresiono mucho. Está muy bien ilustrado y es adictivo, así que es perfecto. La trama se mantiene sola y te mantiene con los ojos abiertos porque no sabes que carajo va a pasar a 👀

⭐⭐⭐💫 3.5/5

I found one of my friends on Goodreads reading it and I was curious. I didn't know it would be this gory but it's intriguing. I'm disturbed that I want to keep reading to find out more about this murderer.

Musste ich erst die 50 überschreiten, um die Welt der Mangas zu entdecken? Scheinbar. Und so traf es sich doch gut, dass ich im Überraschungs – Halloween – Päckchen von CrossCult diesen Manga mit dabei hatte. Und der sah schon von Anfang an ziemlich blutig aus – wie passend zu Halloween.



Uh, und gleich vorneweg: Dieser Manga ist nichts für schwache Nerven und Menschen, die nichts blutiges sehen wollen. Denn hier geht es wirklich blutig zu, und ziemlich creepy – finde ich.



Eigentlich wirklich gut, dass da der Manga in schwarz weiß ist, wäre er noch coloriert – ich weiß nicht, das wäre ganz schön heftig gewesen.

„Zeit zu sterben“ - so lautet eine Nachricht, die Asumi bekommt. Von einem mysteriösen Alias „Pumpkin Night“. Und es dauert auch nicht lange, dann wird dies bittere Realität. Das „Kürbismädchen“ ist Naoko, diese wurde in der Schule von einer Gruppe Schüler derart gemobbt, dass sie am Ende in einer psychischen Klinik landete. Doch nun ist sie geflohen und will sich an den Schülern rächen. Asumi ist da nur der Anfang.



Die Clique will das selbst in die Hand nehmen und denkt sich, dass kann doch nicht so schwer sein, Naoko zu Fall zu bringen. Allerdings ist diese nicht dumm, hat ihren Rachefeldzug genau geplant und ist ihnen immer einen Schritt voraus.

Ich war gefesselt von der Geschichte und für mich war sie viel zu schnell vorbei. Naoko muss schlimmes widerfahren sein, wenn sie so grausam Rache nehmen will. Und trotz der Brutalität konnte man ein wenig mit ihr mitfühlen.



Die Zeichnungen sind sehr detailliert, mit viel Blut, Gedärmen und anderem. Wem das nichts ist, der sollte die Finger davon lassen. Ich war überrascht, wie gut mir die Story, aber auch die Zeichnungen gefielen. Bin ich ja sonst nicht der Horrorgeschichten – Leser. Aber Pumpkin Night will ich auf jeden Fall weiter verfolgen!

!! review for the overall series; not just this vol !!

okay. okay i get it kinda. the premise.. is really good. a revenge story involving morally corrupt people being killed? i love it, but the way people recommend this series... isn't entirely right.

this *is* about a girl that plans to get revenge after being bullied in junior high. but that's really only the first few chapters of the overall story. instead the story is about Pumpkin Night. i won't go into extreme detail, but i'd say this instead :

Pumpkin Night is about a young girl who wants revenge after being bullied to the point of hospitalization. Through this vengeance, she becomes 'Pumpkin Night', a so-called demon from hell that escapes from the facility. Suddenly, she's agile, brutal, and out for blood. But how did she become this way, and can anyone stop her?

i wasn't expecting the turn the manga took, nor do i particularly like it. it's okay, just not what i was expecting. this manga also suffers from the lack of official translation. the popular fanmade one is so horrid; completely chock-full of racism and transphobia. it almost renders it completely unreadable. i recommend guro-man's translation on tumblr. it's a much easier read.

overall, the manga is.. decent. it's okay. i love naoko; she's a doll.

Like:

The drawings and gore are perfect. I myself can't draw gory stuff, so respect.


Dislike:

Why do classmates want to k1// the classmate? I know the girl is crazy, but still. And they all seemed fine with it immediately too. No one was like: 'Dude chill' or something.

If they really could get her GPS then the police would have already.

They literally tried to save Saki even though she looked horrible and later on even more. There is a line between alive and death and she is right in-between and for those people I wish for a silent death as they would just suffer living. But the friends are so 'nice' as they want her to stay alive no matter what. Wow.

• • • •

This is the first volume and therefore the opening, introducting characters and plot. Therefore I am not that harsh on the rating. I mostly disliked it, but it seems to get an interesting turn. Perhaps the next chapter will do it for me (even though I already know what will happen as I re-read this manga, to give a review).

Edit: 14. May 2024

I changed my mind about the 2 star rating into a 1 star rating as I forgot that the first volume was the one with the sexual harassment scene/s and I got triggered by it. It was also extremely unnecessary to add.
