Otsu-ichi's Goth; manga

I actually really like this short series, it was gory, beautifully written, psychological, and the plot was super intense. I only wish there was some color, red at least. But as with all art color could either enhance or cheapen, so I understand why they played it safe. This is actually the third manga I've ever read, and I'm actually considering reading the novel. I've never really like manga, but suppose I'm starting to get more into them.
