“A horror without well-developed horror and a romance story without satisfying romantic moments.”

“A thrilling masterpiece.”

“Amane does not only blend horror and eroticism fluidly together, but does so to deliver a satisfying critique of how social media eventually becomes a tool for male subjects to chase their phallic fantasy.”
