Read the full take

Back When You Called Us Devils opens with a gap in memory. Yusuke Saito is a normal high-school kid, apart from six missing months. Then people begin to confront him, insisting they are from his past and that he did terrible things to them. The premise is a classic amnesia mystery with a sinister edge, and the question of who he was during those months hangs over every scene.The series is most gripping when the fragments of memory begin to fit together. Each confrontation adds unease, and the school setting makes the tension feel close and personal. The psychological thriller pacing keeps readers guessing.The drawbacks are heavy bullying and revenge themes and reveals that can drag. Readers who enjoy tense amnesia thrillers will find a gripping read. Those wanting quick answers may find it slow, though the mystery is compelling.
