The method of portraying adolescent struggles and a sense of alienation with a touch of fantasy, as mentioned in the opening, recalls the work of Tatsuki Fujimoto.
That said, I wish the protagonist’s troubles felt more immediately relatable to readers; as it stands, the piece can feel a bit light on entertainment value.
As for the heroine, perhaps she should have a more easily understandable, likable trait. Her fascination with violence is intriguing, but it also gives the wrong impression of the story's direction.
