Itβs time for a story. Itβs the story of a boy who was brutally killed by another, and a story of a monster who cruelly killed others. Or perhaps itβs a story of a child who was abandoned by his parents, and a hero who was abandoned by the world. Either way, itβs a story of admiration and folly. Itβs a story of love, but not a story of romance. Someday, it will likely be remembered as a tale from long, long ago. A horrible, tragic little anecdote. One that was far too twisted to pass off as a fairy tale. 1. Story β β β β β - It's a very closed story, its plots arenot absurd, but the world itself and especially the characters are very engaging. - 2. Character β β β β β - As I said before, they are very engaging, there is romance for those who like it too XD, the development and its changes that occur little by little are very cool to see. - 3. Enjoyment β β β β β - t's pretty heavy dark fantasy, certain scenes really feel a sense of urgency or are repugnant to an absurd degree. - 4. General β β β β - I only took 2 points from the grade, because I felt that volume 7.5 was totally unnecessary, but that is personal for each one, I strongly recommend reading it. - If you read this review thank you very much and may God bless you, I avoided spoiler XD.
Kaito Sena is a pitiful existence. After 17 years of hellish abuse, he is finally set free from the shackles of mortality on the day his father strangles him to deathβor so he thought. Being told to become a servant of a girl with exquisite features moments after his death, Kaito immediately refuses; however, under duress, he submits. So begins the life of Kaito as the butler of Elisabeth Le Fanu, the feared and detested Torture Princess. Tasked by the church to exterminate 14 demons, she orders Kaito to accompany her. However, as fate would have it, she is a firm believer of the notion that a true torturer is only deserving of a painful death themselves; therefore, she awaits the day she can fulfill her mission and forfeit her life to the church. For all of Elisabeth's cruel sadism, Kaito is oddly captivated by her pure sense of purpose and resolve. But as he gets used to his new life, he often finds himself dwelling upon the question: "are sinners like the Torture Princess truly undeserving of happiness?" [Written by MAL Rewrite]
Without a doubt, the best LN series I have ever read. It's definitely not for everyone. I love me some gore, body horror and mutilation as much as the next person, but from volume 1, the story lets you know that it isn't f*%king around. Entrails are commonplace and each death is described in excruciating detail. That was enough to hook me for at least a few volumes by itself, but then the story did the rest of the work. Also the art... which is gorgeous. This is a series that is well-written, knows what it wants to say, and doesn't overstay it's welcome (Hell,I WISH there was more, but I suppose one bonus vol is enough). It might not resonate with many, but I did with me and I don't think I'll ever forget the experience I had reading each new volume as it was released. If you're looking for a true dark fantasy story that will keep you guessing as to where it will go next, provide interestingly tragic characters that you WILL grow to love and conclude it's 9 vol. 3 arc run with a crescendo that forms one of the most heart-wrenchingly beautiful finales I have ever read, then this is it.
