Synopsis
A serial killer known as the Slicing Devil murders young women while the manga repeatedly interrupts its own crime narrative with a Shintaro Kago self-insert discussing how comics manipulate readers, panels and narrative expectations.
A murder mystery deliberately sabotaged by its own authorial commentary, using gore and formal experimentation to make the reader question how a manga constructs truth.
Reactions & rating
What it feels like
Fraction is most interesting as metafiction: the killer plot matters, but so does the way Kago exposes the machinery of panels, clues and reader assumptions.
