Let’s be honest the only reason to read this manga is for the extreme uncensored gore and gratuitous sex and rape (mainly rape). However after a point even this gets repetitive, the foundations of horror and terror rely on the reader have a connection or investment in the character. And after a while I stopped caring, when introduced to new characters I came to expect them to die. The only thing that kept me going was the varied ways of showing a grotesquely deformed and mutated human body, which to give the artist credit is very well done.

The story arcs are basically the same revolving around finding footage for “dead tube” which always ends in extensive murder. However there was just enough variation To keep me going even if at some points I did feel like stopping because of how disgusting it gets a points.

Now obviously the disregard for human life does not extend to the main characters who have the plot armour of a tank. I never believed there was any risk because whilst new characters inevitably die the main ones are horrendous over powered. This combination leading me to not care about any of the characters, you know who lives and who dies.

Although I do find the character motivation fascinating, maybe underneath the violence is a nuanced commentary on how we’ve all become desensitised to violence as embodied by the main characters... but probably not
