Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku, Vol. 8

The series is so visceral and dark, I wonder if the horror was planned from the start or developed as the story evolved. Did this influence the pacing or character development?

Some decisions felt morally gray but necessary in this brutal world. I’m curious if others saw these as character flaws or moments of genuine heroism.

The blend of real historical periods with fantasy and horror creates a unique atmosphere. I wonder what sparked the idea to combine these genres in this way.
