While Emma and her friends do their best to act like normal while they plan an escape, Don and Gilda do some investigating of their own into Mom’s secrets.

While our main three are great, adding Don and Gilda really rounds out the cast. I was internally screaming that they were rummaging around in ways that could (and probably should) have gotten them caught and ruined everything but holy shit, the tension in this volume. This series is amazing and really sucks you in so you are flying through the pages to see what happens. 4 out of 5

As Emma, Norman, and Rey make plans to escape, Mama brings in Sister Krone as an extra pair of eyes to endure their plans fail.

Yikes, Mama is just as creepy and diabolical in the manga as she was in the show with the way she’s drawn in those extreme expressions. The kids are great characters and watching them try to work out a plan is genuinely thrilling. They’re inspiring and smart, so they’re easy to root for and of course addicting to read. 4.7 out of 5.

Emma, Norman, and Ray live an idyllic life at the Grace Field House with other orphans as they wait to be adopted. When one of them, Cony, is adopted and forgets her doll, Emma and Norman attempt to return it to her and discover the horrible truth about where they live and the “Mom” who has been caring for them.

After I finished the anime, I saw people were posting about how it ended badly and was different from the manga. So, I decided to read them. This first volume follows the beats of the anime; introducing the children, Mom, where they live, and the twist of this not being just a story about some cute kids having adventures at their orphanage. The art style is versatile, able to be both cute and horrifying and there’s plenty of tension. Fantastic start. 5 out of 5.
