As you can probably tell by Satanophany's average rating on here, it isn't a manga for everyone. But it's a manga for me, dammit, and I made the mistake of becoming obsessed with it. I really hope someone continues the translation in the future.

Everything about the manga is silly and over the top. It features female protagonists killing freely, and lots of fanservice and sex. There aren't a ton of action manga out there with women as the main combatants, so I loved to see this one. It really gives you everything you'd want. The art is great, the artist is well-suited both to fanservice ... and fight scenes. There is a lot of gore and the girls are beautiful and form a good ensemble cast of unique and memorable personalities.

When the manga begins, it has kind of a Battle Royale premise, but as it goes on its cast begins to function as more of some kind of ridiculous special ops team. Once they start working together (and venture beyond the walls of the prison) the manga really gets good and its possibilities open up. This is why I'm dying to read more, the last translated arc, as of this writing, just expanded the scope of this manga so much.

Everything about the manga is silly and that's why it's good. It is trashy and exploitative, but it's fun. Like a great B movie it entertains with its rawness and its willingness to hold nothing back. If you like female protagonists/female killers and can appreciate a pulpy and tasteless horror movie I strongly recommend this manga.

You want a group full of badass serial killer women? The one where they murder others while being extremely hot and sexy? The one where they have sex with a man then kill him afterwards in a gruesome way? The one where there are also lesbians and they go full yuri and make us some horny bastards?

Then welcome, intellectuals who have a great sense of culture.

Seriously tho, this manga is not for those who are sensitive to rapes, gruesome murder, and any kind of exaggerated violence.

To start, I would like to say that the author is very creative in making scenarios and building up ... the core elements in the story. The goal is clear, the setting is well setup, and the characters are not left aside (of course, except for the usual side characters whom we don't give a f*ck). The coolest thing in this manga is the knowledge of the author in serial killing (history lessons baby). However, for me, it falls short in making it more interesting that it should be. While I was reading, I would know who'll die, who'll get raped, who'll have sex, and worse, I'll be able to know exactly what will happen in the next chapter. I'm not sure why, but maybe because of the obvious hints or I'm used to this kind of story telling. I did't make the manga lose its worth tho, it only ruined my experience.

But I can promise that you'll have moments that you can't wait to turn to the next chapter, as I was not able to sleep just because I wanted to read up to the latest. It can make you hype, tbh

Personally, I'm quite disturbed on how the author made such beautiful and bright characters just to make them whores, but I guess I'm just a simp :<. These elements are essential to the story btw, you'll learn later on

To sum up, if you want a badass women and don't give a sh*t about sex and violence, then you might find this interesting

There are those who say that it's not for everyone and that it has low ratings due to its content, but the truth is that the manga doesn't have anything that hasn't been seen in other mangas like Redo healer. The manga is slow, and while the story has an interesting premise, it just repeats the same events over and over again. Furthermore, it's supposed to be a story about serial killers, but the author makes up things about the killers like the number of victims, making them jump from, for example, 3 (which was the real number) to 350, just to add more mystique ... to the story. I believe there are better things to read, so no, I don't recommend it.
