![]() ![]() ![]() It’s treated as very matter of fact and reminds me of every urban legend about Halloween candy I ever heard growing up. It’s understated compared to what happens later, but that’s what makes it work. It’s exaggerated, but not to the point of being unpalatable or too cartoonish - credit to the book for selling this.īefore that we get one of the nastiest bits of body horror I have ever seen. ![]() Keiichi’s justified (or is it?) paranoia keeps escalating and escalating until he hits a breaking point (alluded to from the very beginning) that he can’t come back from. If the first volume traded on dread, this one trades on pure psychological malice. ![]() It isn’t going to get any better, as torment upon torment leads to a shocking act (this series is like a string of shocking acts) and nothing is as clear cut as it seems, but that’s a cursed village for you. When we last left Keiichi, he was feeling a little trapped in his wonderful village, the one with the undercurrent of terror. ![]()
