Character check:
√ Sudacchi... perfect for playing a gloomy unfortunate character.
√ Shun...always the best detective in my head. Clean and smart.
√ Fukase, the guy from Sekai no Owari really looks like a psycho. Never seen him before (even in PV), but he's doing great. Good job, director.
Reading murdering manga is scary enough, but turning the fantasy into reality? That's sick. Unfortunately, there are various researches pointing out reading materials as the source of inspiration for abnormal behavior. For example, kids raping other kids were often dubbed as a result of reading pornographic manga. Brawling, hate crimes, or bullying are often seen as a manifest of misreading. But why there are people who turn to crime and there are others who just read it as a hobby? What makes them different? Is it really the material?
