Oooof. Makima figure 2.0
I really dig the artstyle, it has more of a western cartoony, fairy tale vibe. Reminds me of Joe Madureira. Fitting. This could be really good.

First of all I love the artwork and the onee san. Other than that kind of predictable yet still quite intriguing premise. Hopefully this'll become big.

Looks pretty good actually and I'm not talking just about the art.

It has fantasy lore with JRPG-like elements. I'm guessing we'll learn more about the Hunter's Guild beyond what's shown pretty soon too. It also looks like a rather serious manga with minimal comedy. Excited to see where this is going.

All right! I'd say this was just as good as the oneshot, there were only some slight differences here and there.

I'm really rooting for this manga to do well, I love the concept, the overall fairy tale fantasy vibe. The unique art style is really charming and I can't get enough of it.

I haven't been this excited for a new manga in WSJ since Chainsaw Man I think.

I just hope the story can go in a good and interesting direction beyond the concept and idea of the oneshot. Well, either way, I'll be keeping up with this series whatever the outcome ends up being.

This was a nice first chapter, an improvement over the one shot in terms of art and writing, I like how Grimm is more of a hard ass this time around, not trying to be a hero, but also not seeing Werewolves as pure evil and acknowledging they’re just eating humans to survive like most living creatures.

The allusions to the Brothers Grimm’s version of Little Red Riding Hood were neat, in that version of the Fairy Tale, Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother were eaten by the wolf but they were saved when a huntsman cut open the wolf’s stomach. The three then filled the wolf's belly with rocks which ended up killing it, not nearly as metal as it is here with Grimm leaving a bomb inside the wolf. That double page spread was sick.

Grimm appears to be named after Wilhelm Grimm and Jacob Grimm (Brothers Grimm) two authors who together collected and published folklore, one of those being Little Red Riding Hood which they published in Grimms' Fairy Tales.

This was a good start. The art is great and character designs are really charming. The setting is interesting too. Excited to see how things develop from here. And ofc, Grimm is HOT.

Intersting first chapter and has a lot of potential! I mean fantasy setting, kind of reminds me of Fairy Tail in some aspects, and a thicc tall ara ara Onee-sama! lol
Art was really good, but could work a little bit more on dynamic backgrounds. Really liked the design of the werewolf!
Well let's were this all goes!

Solid first chapter, the artwork is mostly great, and I loved the werewolf's design, with the mouth that can split open in multiple directions. The werewolf herself was probably my biggest issue though. I like that it was the Granny rather than the Mayor, and that Velou figuring it out was the reason Grimm figured he could be useful. But I didn't like them dedicating a speech to talking about how werewolves aren't bad, they are just trying to survive, only for the werewolf here to be so clearly villainous with their intention, even stating that they were going to tie Velou up and force him to watch as they eat all the villagers. It sort of seemed like the werewolf was going to eat him regardless unless they were planning just to carry him in their mouth to the tallest tree but yeah. Didn't care for that, introducing the more interesting Eastern philosophy of things only to revert to a clear cut villainy was pretty disappointing.

Otherwise, no real complaints (I don't really care for loli Grimm, but I'll wait and see on that). I'm even glad that seemingly the Axe is seemingly something special, helps make Velou's victory with it better, not just a kid gaining shonen strength but maybe wielding a special weapon? Guess I'll find out next chapter. And despite my complaints, I really enjoyed the wolf going down the Little Red Riding Hood with the "Why is my mouth so big?All the better to eat you up." route.

That pretty fucking good, it has lots of potential! I hope it does well and not get axed you know. Art style is also great, I love the shading and it's overall style.

I already love Grimm, top tier. Plus her adult form design is... holy shit ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), I simp. Velou also has plenty of room for growth. The author definitely was an assistant of Horikoshi, I think that last page was a homage to MHA. Definitely looking forward for more... boy.

I can see similar art styles from MHA because I did hear that this was Horikoshi’s assistant, and I can see that he paid homage to the first chapter of MHA basically Grimm asking Velou “Do you want to become a hunter?”, That’s pretty cool. But other than that the art is pretty good. The story is also interesting but at the same time kinda predictable, but it’s only the first chapter, I can also see this blowing up possibly in the future and Velou has room for improvement to become a really good hunter in future chapters. Grimm is… wow interesting ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)… I wonder what’ll happen in chapter 2

Really felt like I was reading a Claymore chapter, a lot of things in common regarding the characters and how the story was delivered. Looks like he was a bit inspired by Norihiro-san for his first chapter.

dear lord i had a hard time concentrating .she is so perfect. i hope their dynamic ends up being the same as one between milf shinobu and araragi ......

probably my favourite artstyle to come out this year , along with the soloist cage . its just so damn good ......

but that color page was all over the place . that women had like 3 different hair color over 3 different panels .

A felt there was quite a bit of Claymore vibes around the first chapter. Pretty confident those will mostly be gone in the following chapters, it must just be because of the many similarities.

Maybe I will never see The Witcher in manga form but this series seems really close to this. Now I need to see (and hope) if this series have similar mockingly/parodying humor as Witcher.
So I can wait for Red Hood - The Wither fanart! :D

I wouldn't be surprised if author is fun of this series.


But overall really good start.

Manga recommendation:
- Spy x Family (Ch.107/? - biweekly) | Sakamoto Days (Ch.191/? - weekly)
- MARRIAGETOXIN (Ch.108/? - weekly) | Machi and Oboro (Ch.16/? - biweekly)
- Make the Exorcist Fall in Love (Ch.78/? - biweekly)
- You and I Are Polar Opposites (Ch.65 - Finished)
Anime recommendation:
- Deca-Dence (Finished) | Wave, Listen to Me! (Finished)
- If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die (Finished)
- Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater (Finished)

not really a fan of her name being Grimm, it bugged me the entire time, unless it's actually her surname..? other than that tho, this is a pretty good start for the series, hopefully it'll go on for a bit longer than i tell c did. the art is fire as well as the huntress's boobs

Wow. This was a very strong first chapter. I loved the dialogue and Velou and Grimm are already intriguing characters imo. Only negative was that it was obvious that Granny was the werewolf but that’s not a big deal!

That was a pretty decent start. I liked the non-standard werewolf design, shows we can expect some interesting monster designs.

While I don't think this is that groundbreaking for a first chapter, I really love it. I think Velou and Grimm have a good duo dynamic and I'm excited to see more. Hopefully this becomes successful enough for it to be a staple in Weekly Shonen Jump.

Predictable granny twist, but funny how she turned out to be the big bad wolf in this version of the fairy tale xD

That aside, the premise, the setting and the thicc Grimm are nice. Hope this isn't so liked just because of her, tho hehe.

It was an okay start, a much more goofy and shouneny story than I expected. Reminded me a lot of Claymore but toned down quite a bit. 3/5
