Happiness, Vol. 8 by Shuzo Oshimi
5.0

Goddamn it, this book really is horrifying.

It's not even the over the top blood and gore you might expect that usually gets people saying "Oh my this is horrifying" it's just the simple actions of one man.

So we ended the last volume on a cliffhanger. A friend just wanting to help his other friend survive but of course it isn't that easy. For each moment where we cheer that the heroes might come out of this, it gets darker and sicker. The backstory of the neckslasher is great, shows he was ALWAYS a piece of shit, and the ending was...well just fucked up as hell.

I need more of this but I'm reading as slow as possible because I don't want it to end. A 5 out of 5.
