This is supposed to be scary and it is but not because of the "demon" baby. The scary thing is the selfish dad who sees her and decides to leave her in a garbage dump to die like trash just because she doesn't live up to his expectations of what a baby should look like. It's a shame she doesn't kill her dad when they meet. I'm not sure if it was Hideshi Hino's intent for the reader to feel empathy for the deformed girl but I do feel that way about her, especially on the last page.
