Sei must deal with his douche cousin and family but then there is his overprotective mother which is very determined about her child. How far can she exactly go?
Well I must say this manga knows how to create tension. It starts slowly, very slowly but there is that huuge cloud of danger hanging around and you are thinking when the mother is going to flip. She was like a bomb set to explode but you don't know when it happens.
Sei is very shy and kinda pushover, so far I can't say much about him. His mother on the other hand is really creepy. The way she acts, smiles, just whatever she does, I felt very uneasy watching her. Other characters are kinda very simple if we step aside from main ones. But together, with interactions it works extremely good.
Art is amazing! Simplistic but it focus a lot on facial expressions, body language, gestures which are very important. Some of them are exaggerated to the point that it's creepy and uncomfortable.
If you want something unsettling and weird I think this might work
My rating: 8/10
Tension was killing me and creepy mothers are cool
Reading value
Definately would continue. Wnat to know what's the deal with mother, what her son would do and what that Trail of blood actually means
