This has been a long time coming so I'm not surprised at all. I'm not enjoying the flow though. It's the screaming faces I think. The exaggerated look feels so off even though the emotion itself is passable.
Obviously Kurokawa is mentally ill and that's why it seems so insane to a lot of us. But I don't think we should deny that it's possible to think this way irl. Certainly, I can see this happening to people suffering from PTSD. What's grating is just how it's presented in the chapters.
Like I don't exactly know how and I know it's always been leading up to this but I feel like there was something lacking in the lead up. But I guess ultimately, it's the weird scream faces that's ruining it for me.
