Art is amazing! Pacing is very different from the game and some choices were “questionable” but we’ll see how it continues! Curious to know how people who never touched the game felt about this chapter

It's finally real!
I think I need to see a few more chapters first to decide if it's as good as the game.
One of my favorite things about the game's prologue section is how it makes you think "oh this is just a wholesome story about a group of friends, right?" But later, out of nowhere you get hit with tonal whiplash... and this dark mystery starts unfolding, which leaves you a bit disturbed but very intrigued. Here, things are being shown in almost the opposite order, as it starts with the real world first. I'm not sure yet if it sets up as good of a premise, and it also feels like the scenes go by rather fast. Omocat did say OMORI was made as a game because the story didn't fit a comic format as well, but that was a long time ago, so we shall see how it is...

The art looks great even though it's a different style, and there's a lot put into the environment backgrounds. The panel layouts also keep things interesting, and everything is adapted into the manga format very well visually.
I feel like it was a bit strange that Aubrey actually uses her bat as a weapon, because I think it was only for intimidation in the game (or maybe I'm just forgetting). Also, Sunny using the knife, I thought it would be a small shoulder/leg injury of some kind, but he really be sending people to the emergency room, zamn...

Edit: I SUDDENLY REALIZED why they are releasing it on every 25th of the month... It's so chapters can be on Christmas day...

I have been eagerly anticipating this moment, and finally, it has arrived!
The art style is absolutely fantastic, and It executed very well. Mangaka knew what they were doing.
I can already tell that the story is going to be absolutely thrilling, I can hardly contain my excitement to see what unfolds next.
I am eagerly looking forward to future chapters and where this journey will take us!

Mari best girl.

They covered a surprising amount in just the first chapter! I trust that they'll really deliver the story well. It's such a good story and I understand that a lot of people don't want to commit to a game as long as Omori is so hopefully this will be a more accessible way for them to experience it (especially when it's complete). For now, I can't wait to see how they explore this world!

haven't played the game but saw some hype around this adaptation and wanted to give it a try, decent start and it gives me taizan 5's manga (takopii and ichinose) vibes. art and paneling is nice. bro definitely has trauma, interested to see how this goes.

Legit played up to the part where this chapter ended. Remember that exact same dialogue that Basil had in the game as one of the last I heard lol. Not that I had a problem with the game itself, it's just that I find games like that kinda a drag in a way.

Always found the whole premise of Omori interesting, so, I'm glad I can enjoy it in a different way then the game. Kinda a different start than the game, but this chapter really hooks you, so I don't see a problem with it. Really digging the art style as well.

Really looking forward to more of this, and hope they adapt the entire game.

Yeah, I know it's too early to criticize it as a whole, but as a huge Omori fan, I just need to say this is not a good adaptation.
The art is great and beautiful, but they messed up the plot so much.
For those who haven't played the game yet, in the beginning, Sunny goes to the Headspace (as Omori obviously), but the time he passes there before that scene when Kel knocks on the door is very long, the whole chapter should cover the headspace events, because there was a lot of setup and character introduction there, here we don't have it, Sunny goes to real life too much early, and we are presented to the current version of Aubrey, Kel and Basil, there won't be any surprise at all, the only ones who will even care for this plot are those who played the game.
The manga black and white color also contributes to kill this adaptation, since color is very important to portrait aesthetics in the game, when you're in Headspace, it's way more colorful, when you're in White Space, it's completely black and white, so, in a manga, it doesn't work, because it's all just black and white.
I really loved the Mari jumpscare in the beginning though, creepy ass, and the anime comic facial expressions are working pretty well.
I'm really looking forward to see how the next chapters will be, and I'm not disappointed since I didn't expect too much for this bad idea at first place.

that beginning is not giving me a good impression. It should've been the beginning of the game instead of this fast-forward chapter

I love the art, at first I thought it was weird that they started with Real Life stuff and showed too much stuff upfront but I think I understand why, I think they want the first chapter to reflect more or less what the plot is going to be about and also be as interesting as possible for people unfamiliar with OMORI. I've seen it a lot lately, like how the first episodes of anime adaptations are 1 hour long frequently so that they cover important twists that reflect the series tone: eg. OSHI no KO's twist or Frieren's twist.

In general I like it a lot but I hope from here onwards it follows the game's pacing more closely.

Hard to say since we're still on chapter 1, but I don't think I prefer how this version of the story starts. Spoilers for the game ahead in case you want to use this manga as your introduction to the story.





I do think I'll still enjoy this a lot, though. When all is said and done, I still love this story and these characters, and the art looks really nice.

I feel like it's going to be a good adaptation. It's well done and the details and conversations bring back a lot of memories for me. I was surprised that it started with Sunny meeting Kel again, but I think it was a good way to start to get to know White Space. I want to know what they are going to adapt from the game.

It's been months since I read this but since I just noticed these threads exist here is what I think.

The art is really good. Very cute style. Great artist. But honestly I was a bit disappointed. It just looks kinda weird for Omori imo, they look like little stickmen with giant heads at times, quite different from how they look in the games. Their facial expressions when they are scared/ surprised etc are extremely exaggerated, it might be a question of personal preference but it looks off to me. Overall some parts just come off as too edgy/ dramatic.

The story is OK. I don't really like it but I don't hate it. A bit early to judge too. It's fine if the manga takes a different approach to telling it than the game, but introducing some of the Mari stuff this early... It feels like it removes a lot of the impact. I think for a manga, having mystery is great. There is still mystery left, but still...

Having read the latest chapters, I think it does get better later on, and I think that if you haven't played the game you will probably enjoy it much more (kind of like with a film adaptation that deviates a lot from the book it's based on, but is still enjoyable on its own).

Basil's facial expression in Forest Playground is funny as fuck lmao. What even is that.

can dis sig fit
