I liked the one-shot way more, it felt like this chapter was really rushed. I hope the next chapter is better I have high hopes for this series.

I enjoyed the first chapter.
With that said though, the art could have been a lot better, and I enjoyed the one-shot a shit-ton more. While the first chapter was quite similar to the one-shot, I was kind of irritated with some of the stuff they removed which would have made the chapter so much better.

Not bad, but it seemed weird how that guy said he knew him from during the time when the kid blacked out and the kid went along with it so easily. Also, why are they so much younger in this than in the one shot? I expected this to be somewhat similar to the one shot, but aside from the basic plot elements like him blacking out and gaining the goblin powers, basically everything else is different. I feel this chapter might be easier to make a full story out of, but I did enjoy the one shot more.

Wow. Amazing chapter, surely the rise of a manga series making it's way on top of the Jump list.

Teppei's gotta keep believing and destroy those evil guys that corrupted the world.

I hope this new manga stays away from generic shounen and becomes as dark and tragic as Shingeki No Kyojin. I have a great faith in this manga!!!

Really enjoyed it. Is this like a sort of prequel to the one shot? Because they're much younger now. I hope so, because the one shot was amazing.

Great first chapter! I really like that it's (seemingly) inspired by Attack on Titan, but has it's own unique aspects as well.

The only things that bothered me were the art and Teppei's age. The art could have been a bit better, particularly in the opening pages, but I think it improved as the chapter progressed. Also hoping we'll see some kind of timeskip in the next few chapters; it makes no sense to me to have, in this kind of dark manga, a 10 year old save the entire human race.

I liked it so far. It's not amazing by any standards yet, but it's got a lot of potential. I'm interested to see how the story will be structured. I liked the one-shot as well but I wish that didn't exist, since apparently all people are going to do is complain about how dissimilar the actual manga is, yawn.

It is ok, nothing stellar, dialogue a bit choppy, and I am confused about Teppei and the girl. They are being all romantic, yet aren't they cousins? No plot as far as I can tell yet, I will follow along to see if it becomes more interesting or we get some general plot, if it doesn't before long I will drop it. :P

I think this is a great start to a manga like this (dark world, little hope). I can't talk on the part of everyone but I was reeled in... I wanted to know what happened to the girl especially

Reminded me a lot of SnK. I really liked, but I think the One-Shot is way better.
How much time has passed since he came home from school with her? And what happened with everyone? They are dead or hidden in other place? I hope the girl is alive.

This was great
'"Hearts, you say? You Humans are always so quick to speak of such things. As though you carry your hearts in the very palms of your hands. But this eye of mine perceives all. There is nothing that it overlooks. If this eye cannot see a thing, then it does not exist. That is the assumption under which I have always fought. What is this "heart"? If I tear open that chest of yours, will I see it there? If I smash open that skull of yours, will I see it there?4th Espada

Just read it, and so far I liked the one shot better, but will keep reading and see.
I really liked the fact that he couldn't turn back and speak, that would have made it a quite different story (though probably more difficult to write..)
