Review here.
Walking through dark Victorian London, under the shadows of soot-stained buildings, you might expect to find a mugger, murderer, or a drunkard trying to remember his way home. But you turned down the wrong alley. The form sprawled in the doorway is not a drunken tramp, but the remains of a twisted experiment. And the figure standing under a hazy stream of moonlight has interest not in your money but your eyes. Godchild, the manga series by Kaori Yuki, is one long jaunt down a back alley. An alley where rose vines crawl across the walls and violin music cloys from the shadows, but a dark alley nonetheless. Creepy and comical, melodramatic and moving, Godchild offers up a back-alley freak show that will entertain more than just the anime crowd.
