This is the best psychological horror comic ive seen so far!!

I love how creater deal with the pos&neg shape to express the atomsphere and situation perfectly!!absolutly looking forward to new eposides, thank you so much for your creation!!!

plus i haven rlly undertood the polt yet this is so attracting,ah..sry for my bad english

God it fucks so hard it's so cool grrrr

I absolutely adore the paneling in this I dont see creative paneling very often in a lot of popular webcomics but this definitely stands out it's so GOOD

The expressions feel so visceral and raw for such simplistic faces the artist does an amazing job at drawing some real terror I love it

Generally I've been drawn in by the plot I think it's introduced something very interesting that I can't predict I'm very excited to see more from these wacky characters 

READ IT!!!!!!!


(If any of this is written poorly it's just because I'm dumb sorry lol)

I have only watched the demo version so far. I am glad to see such a delightful work. It has been a long time since I have loved and looked forward to a manga like this.It may sound a bit exaggerated, but in my recent daily life after watching your work, if I think of your work in a roundabout way, I would exclaim - what a great work! This may seem like flattery, but I truly and sincerely enjoy your works.

The art style and story are particularly appealing to me, especially the art style. The storyboarding of the comic caught my eye and I like it. The visual expression is excellent, and the emotional rendering is very precise.I really like the two protagonists in the manga, and I am looking forward to their future stories.

If I find a way to sponsor, I would be more than happy to support you!

I used a translator for this text.If any sentence in this comment has confused you, I apologize.

Love from CN

I am glad my work reached China! I'm glad you enjoyed my comic, thank you so much for reading! Love from the Philippines :3

I apologize for any mistakes in my comments because I'm not good at English. TT

I really really love your style, especially close-ups of the characters' expressions and intense emotional expressions! The setting of the story's background and the relationship between the characters are very attractive. I've just finished reading the first volume (because only the first volume has sinicization), and I can't wait to follow up on the storyline below!!( •̀ .̫ •́ )

Thanks so much for reading! Hope you look forward to the continuation of the storyline! :]

Hello, I'm sorry my English is not very good. I use translation

 software to talk to my friends and I really, really, really like the paintings you drew. The visuals and plot are really amazing. My friends and I have watched them several times! (♡>𖥦<)/♥❤️❤️❤️ 


 And thank you for the exemption! Making this decision is truly amazing, and it supports Chinese translation. You are like an angel, and I will support you when I find a payment method in the future!(:3 )


 Here is a quote from a friend who really likes the rich expressions of yago and pliver, which is very interesting(*¯︶¯*)

<3 I hope one day I'll find a way to accept payment from your country! Thanks so much for reading :3

First of all, I'm sorry I used an English translator to talk to you, because my English is so bad!

Second, thank you very much for your free! I came as soon as I saw the news on the software! Before that, I was still watching the trial while having a headache about how to buy this thing.

(if you can! I will try to see if I can support you in the future! )

Most importantly, I am deeply attracted by your cartoons. Your description style and artistic style are genius-level emotions. The ability to infect people is amazing!

Even if my English is so poor that I can only watch it with a translator and understand only a small part of it, I am deeply addicted to it. Watch it over and over at least a dozen times!

Seriously! Some of the emoji paintings are so cute☺️💖! I like the performance of panic! I will definitely want to try to draw some pictures for your work😢💖! (wait for me to worry about how to use this website.)

Expect more!💖👅

Thank you so much for your support!!! I'm very you glad you enjoyed my artistic style! 💖💖💖

OK I JUST FINISHED ALL VOL

THIS. IS. SO. PEAK.


I picked it up because of an accident a while back, but I still decided to give it a good look.

I don't know anything about the military, but I really love so much how this comic portrays their emotions, the facial expressions, the art font, the subplots, all of it complements each other perfectly.

One more thing I'd like to say is that this manga has an emotional buffer (I know that's not a term) that other works always miss, when some important emotion happens, the author always manages to leave enough space for it to flow naturally and give the reader a longer time to experience it,, and empathise with it. This is something I haven't experienced from any work in a long time. This feeling is extremely precious and also one of the reasons why I fell in love with this work.

Of course! Aside from the emotion, the tense drawing style is also very appealing during some of the intense scenes, and I love your drawing style, I really do, and your drawing style really fits the atmosphere of the story in this manga. In a lot of places I can't help but enough to make the same expressions as the characters in the plot. I also love the way the hero and heroine get along with each other and their own personalities in their own right. Please make sure you don't let this manga end early!!!! I will buy all future chapters and continue to support the work in question!!!! I really like it so much 😭😭😭😭

I'm so glad thank you so much for your support!!!!! Your comment makes me very happy...........😭😭😭😭😭 I will continue to make slow and steady progress on the next part THANK YOU!

I bought the bundle and just finished the first volume. that was a very neat read I've been a fan of your animations but I didn't expect this- as in like seeing the characters personality that aren't as clear in the art and animations you post without context :D gonna start chowing down on the second volume now :3

Thank you so much for reading!!! <3 :D

(+1)

Just read the demo and love your style (Especially the facial expression) If I were to get the 11.99 USD one, will I get the other volumes when coming out? or all have to be purchased separately?  

Thank you! And it will all be sold separately although I have promos, bundle discounts during new volume releases and other holidays and such :)

This comic is absolutely beautiful. So much textured eye candy for me to enjoy! I had to experience it with breaks. Incredible work. This is probably some of the best art I've ever seen, and I'll be using it as inspiration for whatever I make. The emotions are extraordinary, and far better than any I've seen depicted before. I really, really enjoyed the writing and the story too. I laughed out loud when I saw the ":3" in Yago's hello :3. Anyway, I'm extremely excited for the next part of the story, and I'll be returning frequently to the art until then. Thank you so much for this awesome comic Venz!!


(Oh, also, I must have watched the trailer at least 50 times before I read the actual comic. It's SO good.)

Wahhhh Im really glad you enjoyed it! thank you so much for reading my blood sweat and tears!!!!!😭😭 The next part will be much stronger so please look forward :) <333

really well executed, and the experimental panelling keeps it engaging to read! all design choices felt intentional, so it really demands you to pay attention. it all adds up to really good characterization, i loooove how the two leads contrast one another, all thru dialogue, visuals and staging. also yago cute :3

I'm so glad! thank you so much for reading!!!!!🥺🥺❤️

(+1)

THIS IS AMAZING every line and panel felt so intentional and powerful i reread to properly slow down and take it all in. you do a fantastic job of not spoon feeding the viewer but giving just enough hints to keep them engaged. NOT TO MENTION the awesome visuals!!! absolutely hyped to see what else you come up with.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING! it means the world to me.. I hope you look forward to vol 2!!!❤️❤️🥺
