WOW. This manga didn't waste time...It's really interesting so far. A lot of gore.
Her sister was is cute!
I love them, don't know why~

The birthday party was disturbing. Happy Birthday~

Great first chapter and great art as well IMO.

As expected by the author of Deadman Wonderland, it didn't waste time to get to the violent content. Surprisingly, it revealed more about the main characters than I had expected.

Happy bloody birthday.

I also wonder how many chapters this will run for?

Well as expected, I completely forgot about this until a couple of minutes ago when I was looking through my plan to read list.
Where do you read this?

Edit: ok, I found one. One chapter and I'm already loving it! I never watched/read Deadman Wonderland so I don't know what to expect, but so far it's really good imo. I also like the steampunk elements.

A lot of parallels with the structure of deadman wonderland, but that's a good thing.

Extremely well done first chapter, in my opinion. Emotional and gory, with what seems like an interesting cast of characters and an awesome protagonist. I didn't know exactly what to expect, but this first chapter was very enjoyable and I have high expectations for the series.

Hopefully, if and when it gets an anime down the line, it'll adapt the whole story instead of these introductory chapters (unlike another series I know).

Didn't like it, felt lackluster to Me. Gore and more gore that's all I saw. And I like deadman wonderland btw. This better improve in the next few chapters.

Is this gonna come out monthly?

Well it's pretty much what you would expect from the duo that did Deadman Wonderland, lots of violence, lots of gore, and just a bunch of fucked up imagery in general. I'm certainly interested though, looking forward to the next chapter, also really great art, especially the opening colour pages.

Damn! That was pretty damn good. Art and gore are top notch. Dat birthday cake :O

Loving Youkou a lot. His personality is pretty unique, the way he just doesn't seem to give a fuck. Jumping on cars just for a dropped can and his little to barely no reaction to having his friggin arms and leg cut off by his sister was insane. He's got some insane mental fortitude.

Jackalopes leader seems damn awesome. Already giving me Crow vibes. His grin thinking Youkou's some Smokin Hot shit was epic.

I wonder where this will go. I'm guessing this Jackalope will be ur usual hidden Organization stuff.

I LOVED THAT CHAPTER. It really has some Deadman Wonderland vibes, but I believe that it may be better. The artwork is much better, we have to see for the story, but so far the MC is a real badass. And the other MCs have really amazing designs. Can't wait for next month.

Nice 1st chapter and potential but i have mixed feelings about the mc. He's so stupid for defending his sister even after finding out what she did. If I was him, I would be glad to see her die.

So what's the line between Shounen and Seinen? Because this certainly stretches it the the utmost limit.

I imagine his strong mentality and physique is a result of his past abuse as a kid from the looks of it.

One of the most unlikable main characters I have ever seen. Did this guy seriously say to the cop to shoot the ambulance?

This whole thing was sloppy and didn't really have a good pace to flesh out the concepts of the pilot chapter. Disappointing.

Used almost the same formula with deadman wonderland. Well, from the beginning it DOES feel like I'm reading a second deadman wonderland. But is that a bad thing? Not for me :D

7.5/10 for 1st chapter. Gonna follow this red head.
HOW TO SAVE ANIME IN THREE SIMPLE STEPS

  1. To have Mars of Destruction, Skelter Heaven, and Pupa properly adapted in TV series form by Madhouse
  2. To have Inferno Cop properly adapted in TV series form by Bones, director: Urobuchi Gen
  3. An anime crossover of Mushishi x ARIA x Haibane Renmei.


Should even one of the above conditions cannot be done, anime is still at risk.

I never read the duo's previous work, Deadman Wonderland so i was pretty exicted for this but this was an ok start guess.

I don't really like the MC so far, i can definitely see his attitude getting on my nerves really soon.

Can't say much about Jackalope other than the fact that their design are pretty nice. Midari is definitely based off Bayonetta. her fighting style/design are to damn similar lol.

I hope it get's better soon, because right now i'm not really feeling it.

Gawd, this manga was awful.
The characters are either stupid or unlikeable, or both. The protagonist is just a damn jerk with his code. Punching a guy because he dropped a can? That doesnt make you interesting or honorful, you're just rude & a jerk.
Also, really? Two awful cliches at once? 'The little sibling has to die' and 'women in the refrigerator' in the first chapter? I'm not a fan of all this senseless gore, too. It just looks as if it tries to be SO dark & SO edgey, and because of that lost my interest.
Also, the black clothed girl from the killer squad is just stupid. Why did you put your hand before the eyes of the boy, AFTER HE SAW THE WHOLE FIGHT & LOST 3 OF HIS LIMBS?! LADY THAT HAPPENED TOO LATE!! Why did you pushed your ass in that one panel? That was irritating & unnecessary! Also, what the fuck, you are surprised that he 'covered' his sister? That whole 'he covers a spider' doesnt make sense, because the society doesnt know shit about spiders. If you dont tell people beforehand, that spiders are evil & demonic, why shouldnt they protect them?
And yet, why did he do that? He saw, how his sister killed noth of her friends AND chopped of his limbs. That was so dumb, and stop talking about your rules, they are dumb, you're dumb. And how could you jump fast enough to cover your sister, if you just have ONE DAMN LEG!! That's so damn stupid, ugh...
And of course, we got the tragic ending, after his sister regained conciousness.

I cant stand this manga. To be fair, I didnt read Deadman Wonderland. But Smokin' Parade wasnt interesting and I didnt care about all its gore, too. The maincharacter was a jerk, the killer squad was dumb & the set up seems questionable. I would only read it, because it could be one of the 'it's so bad, that it is funny again'-stories.
Oh, but there was one thing, which I actually liked: The artstyle. It's pretty good & impressive. Me gusta.

Well fucking hell. There were some absolutely amazing panels in this first chapter, good drama and creepieness in this chapter. I believe they did an excellent job with this. I hope my first impression will hold so for the rest of this manga, and I want a motherfucking anime adaptation tomorrow.
Good MC too, at first I thought it would be generic but still kinda cool, he didn't do what I thought he would do though. So looking forward to the next few chapters.
9/10 for now.

I must have read this chapter at least 5 times. This may very well be the best first chapter for a manga I have ever read. It hooked me from the very start and I am hyped for the future prospects of this manga.

Just finished reading chapter 1, I didn't captivate me that much to be honest, the first time I read Deadman Wonderland, it was one hell of an experience, I couldn't stop myself from reading more, maybe I sat the bar too high for this manga, I hope it gets better.

pretty decent (albeit strange) start

this first chapter didn't have the same shock value for me that deadman wonderland did
but i was still surprised - with the way it seemed to me at first, i thought the jackalopes were the antagonist. the minute that doorbell rang and the sister went to answer i was like

i knew something bad was gonna happen but wow, i didn't think it was gonna be eating people ಠ_ಠ

let's see where this goes!
