There’s no deeper meaning in this, there’s nothing worth looking into, he’s merely talking about us. Since CSM that’s how we’ve been treating his work; something more than what he’s trying to show.

In short, just read the damn manga.

the low score probably is because of the anticlimactic end like i thought the story will explore more about the apophenia of the confession video but it did not

still i scored it high because its still good

Oi, speak for yourself. I never saw CSM as something extremely deep and complex. It was just entertaining manga with solid paneling and cool aesthetics.

I loved how this short story summed up all of those overanalyzers who had to fuel their own hallucinations and write essays on how just another pile of guts and blood symbolized anything, instead of just enjoying simple, yet entertaining manga with interesting approach to controversial elements (gore, violence, etc.).

Anyway, the score is propably the result of two factors: this manga's length (very short), and its topic. It was not meant to be anything big or thought provoking, so perhaps people decided that it was either too timid to get the highest scores, or just they couldn't handle with seeing themselves in those speech bubbles of people commenting over that guy's clip on YouTube.

Nah I respect the one shot and the art was decent so I gave it a 6 cause besides a good idea and good art is wasn’t that creative, like this feels like something he should’ve said on a twitter post and not waste his time making a whole one shot for it

ANd by making this thread, you are only proving his point.

I think it's because it was just too short. 20 page long one-shot mangas don't get a high rating, like almost never. This one-shot to me just felt like a random release. I really enjoyed it, but I can see why so many just don't care about it.

Idgaf, since I can invoke death of the author. If there is enough room for me to interpret what I see fit, then I will do so. If this isn't the case with this manga, then I will treat it as such.

It really wasn't that great compared to Eri. Let's be honest here.

The thing about not finding a deeper meaning is fucking stupid. The original name of the manga is "listen to it normally", not "turn your brain off and consume your media like a zombie".

The whole point is a lot of people just misinterpret things wildly and the intended message just never gets across. The reason why the ending is impactful to the MC is that someone actually understands what he's trying to say. If everyone just ignores the message that's just equally bad, You all are proving his point, exactly, but not in the way you all think.

Doesn’t matter what point he tried to make with this one shot it doesn’t change the fact that it’s shit while all his other works are 10x better

Like its current score, 6/10 is what it deserves.
Sure, the hidden meaning and irony of it all is a 7/10, but standalone as a story, it isn't exactly great, even if its intriguing.
