Wow, the cult leader of Aum Shinrikyo was executed this summer. I totally missed it.
“On 6 July 2018, after exhausting all appeals, Asahara and six other followers were executed by Japan, as punishment for the 1995 attacks and other crimes.[3][4] On 26 July 2018, the remaining 6 followers on death row were executed by Japan.[5]”

An interesting take on cult life and thought. While some may be turned off by the amount of sexually explicit imagery, Yamamoto manage to pull off a wonderfully creepy story with moments that are haunting.
Also I want to add a note on the words in double quotes ,this is an important detail that I'm glad Yamamoto included. The note at the beginning of this manga doesn't really go into how important it is rather it just explains how to read it. The words in quotes are "cult speak" which is a powerful tool a cult uses to further isolate their members and brainwash them. A cult will sometimes create it own sort of language by introducing new terms and more importantly changing the meaning of existing words to intentional confuse and control it's members. So keep this in mind as one of the ways the author shows how far gone the characters are.
