So the Netflix series got me to read a manga all the way through for the very first time. The first third of the manga is adapted in the first season of the Netflix show, and the rest is a wild ride. I could barely put it down, hence the 5 stars.

I went into this knowing that I really enjoy (if that's the right word) "games of death" as a genre because of how the exploration of humanity, altruism, purpose, etc... This hit all the right notes for me and exceeded my expectations. The plot was incredibly engaging and the ever-present darkness served an actual purpose.

Recommended if youre into exploring big questions, such as "who has the right to live and at what price", and don't mind a lot of violence/death. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some spinoffs/sequels to get my hands on...
