First of all, don't go into this expecting anything anywhere near "wholesome"; not only does it offer some fairly explicit violent imagery, it also includes an unfortunate amount of fan-service via underwear shots, cleavage, etc. (which is why I'm only giving it 4 stars).

That said, once I got past all of that enough to check into the storyline, I was actually hooked. I would say that I wish we got more backstory as to why Shuichi turns into this weird mascot-looking "monster", but the cliffhanger ending tells me that must be coming in the next volume. It's a really strange plot at its core, but something about the weirdness of it coupled with Claire's terri-bad personality is really intriguing and I'll most likely be picking up the next volume soon.
