Reviewing the series
The story is depicted in such a way that people with a weak nervous system are recommended to keep away from it as it is packed with bloody and rather abominable details. As the matter stands, such methods of portraying are quite explainable. The case is that the series turns to be of a psychological type which conveys the teenager struggle pursuing to survive with the assistance of his parasite, and at the same time not letting him kill other people.
The manga basis of the series keeps appearing. Therewith we can hope for the future revival of the adaptation. As there is no data about the Kiseijuu season 2 release date, be in the swim together with us.
