Is this good?
I've read the first chapter long ago, but.. yeah, I don't feel right.

Let me know what do you think about this one, about the plot, progress and everything.

 

[Phantomhive]

shit's creepy but it seems too all over the place

 

[m4ng4]

@goronyanpai I think this one is pretty interesting. It's not too gory, just how I would like it. Has some back story and some frustrating characteristics and the progress seems fine to me.
Try some chapter before you drop it. In my case, I started reading at chap 7, just to know how this is and then continued till c14. I found this interesting and then started this from the beginning.

 

[Knonderd]

The early chapter of this manga is really interesting, I like how the author build its mystery and the story progression.

 

[goronyanpai]

@m4ng4
Thank you for your kind reply.

This manga already more than 10 volumes though.

 

[Alenas]

@goronyanpai - it's at 13 volumes and still ongoing I think. Probably would have less if some chapters weren't almost ridiculously short lol

 

[goronyanpai]

@Alenas
You're right. But, in my opinion for horror/thriller manga, it is very suitable to use a few pages in each chapter.
Have you read Hone ga Kusuru Made?
It uses the story flow pattern: it's endless, there's no need for strained scenes at the end. It gives the impression that it is happening at the same time, connected, like we are watching a movie.

Imagine if a chapter consists of, normally, 20+ pages. So the author will need a turn of event and some twists. Either way is fine I think. :]
But this type is more readable at once.

 

[Alenas]

@goronyanpai - Nope, I haven't read that, might give it a shot, though. Thanks for the rec.

Yeh, that's why we like to release a few chapters at once, especially if they're connected by titles, to disrupt the flow as little as possible.

 

[goronyanpai]

@Alenas
It's quite interesting and depressing. About the whole sacrifice and friendship things.
But the problem lies on the ending. I don't like it but at the same time I like it.

And the truth is, the update is very slow .u.

 

[chivien]

Wow this manga is pure utter shit, full of stupid people doing stupid incomprehensible things, not to mention the keeping of secrets and all of the stupid stuffs that they do for no reason ...
Also why the fuck are they living there? Is everyday in Japan casual horror day? wtf? If ordinary ppl can punch and kick these things wtf make them so dangerous?

 

[anoman]

AHHH I WAS READING THIS 3 YEARS AGO BUT FORGOT ABOUT IT AND NOW I SEE IT HAS NEARLY 200 CHAPTERS AND IS TOTALLY DROPPED FOR MORE THAN A YEAR

 

[Alenas]

@anoman - it's not dropped, we're still working on it but due to convenience sake and easier reading experience, we decided to release it by volumes. It's in a typesetting stage and the next volume should be released soon.

 

[shinigami_23]

@Alenas - just resumed this manga after almost a year and half, got to say it just keeps on getting amazing as well as a little dark considering where it is at the moment, just wanted to know if new chapters can be expected or is it dropped (desperately hoping not) ??
Btw great work guys bringing these translations, I was searching for an official English release but couldn't find it, so you guys bringing these uploads is just awesome.

 

[Alenas]

@shinigami_23 - Nope, we haven't dropped it. The volume is halfway TS'd but the TSer got a bit busy with real life so it got delayed. We're thinking of releasing what we have ready so far, seeing as it's been quite some time since the last release so I guess you can look forward to some updates soon.

 

[shinigami_23]

@Alenas - YAY!!! Glad to hear that, eagerly waiting !!

 

[Pleppie]

Oh! So it's not incompletely dropped! That's nice to know, mangadex doesn't have a way to know. I binge read it and when i saw i was finishing it and nothing was resolved yet i got really anxious xD. Seems like it'll take a long time for next releases though...

I'm really liking it, the suspense feels quite well made and i like the characters. It does have its faults (a lot of them) but i think it's fine, it's an horror thriller, of course people will be stupid and make dumb decisions. If it was me in yuuto's place the story would be way more boring xD. I'm liking the pace the story is progressing and it really keeps me at the edge of my seat, i might try my hand at reading the raws, my japanese is not good enough for tl but i can kinda read by myself with a dictionary...

Also touzame shizutaka somehow really reminds me of kishibe rohan from jojo's part4, one of my favorites characters

OH! And thanks a lot to fallen syndicate and currently twisted hel scans for the TL! They're very much appreciated

 

[Alenas]

@Pleppie - thanks so much for the comment! It's definitely a nice motivation for us and we'll do our best to speed up the releases but with the current situation with everyone, promises can't be made but rest assured, we're still going to keep working on it.

 

[shinigami_23]

Nice update after such a long time.
This is very exciting to read, the suspense just keeps on building and still unsure if the story is supernatural or Sci-fi based conspiracy. Just great work.

Thanks a lot to the translators who keep providing such good works !!
Many such good series never get official English release, so these translations are truly appreciated.

 

[Yrythaela]

I'm sorry I'm just confused. Why is this labeled as completed?

EDIT: This is my first comment in the whole mangadex website. Just leaving this here for the memories.
