The way developments occur feels like a dream--the way characters will pop up or scenes will transition. Even some of the conversations feel on the verge of being nonsensical. There can also be a lack of continuity and some aspects are just dropped to not be brought up again. And of course the intentional weirdness with the drawers and the hauntings. And the thing is, this manga is intentionally going for that type of disconcerting vibe. 'Cause the author probably thinks it makes it edgy or thought-provoking or some shit. The core piece of psychological horror the author is playing around with is the fact that what we experience (and what we remember) isn't always reflective of reality, because our brains are just processing stimuli and that processing process can be imprecise and potentially corruptible. But it fails at implementing that idea in a way that's actually entertaining or otherwise worth reading.

The climax of this story is just a bunch of Sakiko's...which is just fucking dumb. I also didn't care for the brain-cuboids (the drawers sprouting out of Rin's head) and thought the manga was trying too hard to make "drawers" into a connective tissue. This manga is in no way worth reading. It's weakass storytelling with low quality artwork, inconsistent and shallow characterizations, and an uninspired portrayal of somebody being haunted by something (not to mention, an "edgily" hyperbolic portrayal of insanity).
