Ignore all the other reviews that just said it was bad overall... It didn't even look like they read it.

It's not the best but def not the worst, it's a good read if you give it a chance (Not saying read 10 chapters till it gets good, 2 or 3 should be fine but the plot does pick up later on)

I personally think it's unique except for the childhood friends, accident, shit happens as a child and what not is probably just a cliché.

Good read, reminds me of deathnote with not a satisfaction ending and the how the plot plays out. Just a hint ... of deathnote not a whole lot or anything close to it.

As you can tell by watching at my profile, I'm not really the type of person that does reviews very often.. but after reading this manga, I though that the previous ones about it were pretty strict.
In fact compared to others manga of this period, or in general, it's not one of the worst. If you like thrillers, you may give it a check.

STORY - 7/10 (It might makes some little spoilers, but only about the plot in general)
I start saying that it's not that much original, but it isn't bad.
It has the typical base plot that you could expect by ... reading a thriller: somebody gets involved with something fishy and need to investigate on it, of course being suspected as well. In the story are mixed also some supernatural elements that are at the base of it. It also goes plenty on the route of an harem, in fact the protagonist has really an aptitude for girls.

ART - 8/10
It's a great art, I kinda like the style, although it's pretty used.

CHARACTER - 7/10
The main characters are five: the "protagonist" (the guy around whome the events happen) and four girls all connected with him. He isn't the classical MC of an harem, but he's pretty smart and not lost in his lust as too many of them nowdays. The girls are different between them, and everyone of them has got a resonable motivation to trust and stay near him.

ENJOYMENT - 7/10
It's good. Nothing special, but I'm happy that I started it, I'll keep follow the story. Obviously hoping for its success, and maybe a good anime adaption in the future.

OVERALL - 8/10
Eight because there're a lot of manga worse than it. And it's done pretty well.
It's only at its first chapters, so I don't know if it's going to become even better or to get bad, but take the review till it's now.

The manga really isn't 10/10 but people gave a 1 so I had to do this.

Story 8/10
Anyways the story is solid, we are dealing with MC's perspective and his goals in life, the three girls are being used as pawns but are still fleshed with personality implying they will have influence later in the story. The end of the story, we seem apathetic after all MC seems so calm about it and yet people around him somehow makes him sit within the borderline of death as he suffers each day.

Characters 7.5/10
Look everyone is solid, the MC got this power of his to favor people, ... Sakura makes sense if you know the ending, and the three girls. However the villains are seemingly one dimensional, no I'm serious the manga showed the villain to have sexual pleasure with a woman, then continued that for the next 4 chapters with no difference. Then there's this one guy who became allied with MC because he is scared of something, but when MC loses that something this one guy still stays allied with MC? The author never bothered stating he had trauma so all the readers are confused?

Art 9/10
I mean it makes everything cooler, and its pretty nice for its past years, I think you should rate it based on the other published works during that year and compare it and I can tell its solid art and probably the best for that "year"

Enjoyment 9.5/10

I mean I binged every chapter, and I'm always excited with the next plan the MC has in motion, besides he's a pretty understandable character and he refrains from killing, good because that would ruin my mood.


Overall: 8/5/10

This review should not contain any spoilers.

First of all, I don't believe this manga deserves the negative criticism it has on this page. I stumbled upon this manga because of the amazing yandere art style, and it definitely creeps you out yet is endearing in a similar vein to Mirai Nikki's Yuno Gasai. The obvious parallels of pink haired yandere with crazy eyes and blood etc. I found myself wanting to experience more of this feeling and happened upon this manga at a great time as Halloween was fast approaching. I can't say that it touched too heavily on the suspense ... or horror aspects of its story, but nevertheless I enjoyed it for the most part for the high quality art, ecchi aspects, as well as harem & Death Note-like or Lelouch-like human chess games.

Having read the entirety of it, I will say that it ended before it could really get into the deep aspects of what this manga could have been. Once the story latches onto it's primary arc, it drags on for a bit until it resolves, but the resolution is the actual end of the manga. It feels abrupt, but at the same time I am at peace with the ending, because I couldn't see the manga continuing on with the way it was paced. To put it into other words, I'm glad it ended, but I would have read more if there was more.

I hope you decide to give this a chance, if you're reading this because you're on the fence about it. 33 chapters is very short, the art is very good, and you can walk away with this and forget about it after a couple hours, but enjoy the very short time you spent here, especially if you're a fan of harem + Code Geass/Death Note like themes.

It is borderline ecchi, and at first seem like your typical harem anime.

But inbetween, the story really picks up.
As other people mentioned, yes you will get Death note vibes near the mid and final chapters.

The MC has power to see other people's intention, which is really a unique concept.

I am satisfied with the ending, I think the final chapter really made it 10x better.

I am not sure if everyone would like it, since it is a little confusing sometimes, also the MC is also a playboy so not sure many would be able to like or relate to him.

Manga readers are a very critical bunch, but I'm still not really sure where the mass influx of negative reviews is coming from. It's not a great manga, but it's a damn good police thriller that admittedly gets a few things wrong, but gets a lot more right.

Story 7/10: The story is very reminiscent of a hybrid between Death Note and Future Diary, taking aspects from Death Note that work like carefully timed suspense, and taking things from Future Diary that don't like swiss cheese riddled plotholes, characters forgetting their motivations/doing complete 180s out of nowhere, and leaving many key aspects of the plot unexplained. ... However, the manga sets up a good atmosphere on the relatively ridiculous premise of a dude trying to juggle his harem without them finding out about each other all while working around a mentally unstable yandere, a corrupt police force closing in on him, the yakuza trying to get a payday, and a crimelord that sits above them all pulling the strings from the shadows to cover up a murder. It has its issues, and it's not perfect, but the city of sin the author manages to construct in only 5 volumes is commendable, and the ending is both surprising emotionally moving, and extremely satisfying despite its numerous flaws.

Art 8/10: A generally more simplistic manga style, but effort and care were put into the panels to make them flow together, with images jumping out of panels and into the neighboring ones. Hard to grade this objectively, but this manga's art has a flare of personality to it despite its fairly industry-standard art style.

Character 7/10: The MC shows tremendous growth throughout the manga, while always retaining that streak of douchebaggery that defines him as the player he is. He is a bit of a massive asshole at times, and his morality and ethics jump around quite a bit throughout the manga, but never to the point where he did anything that felt too out of character for him. The main yandere quite literally has the mental age of a child, and act's irrationally to keep the plot moving quickly. As for everyone else, the girls in his harem have little personality, the main villain is entirely overly cliched, and a lot of the supporting cast forgets what they're supposed to be doing half the time.

Enjoyment 8/10: I finished this entire thing in two evenings, it's a great deal of fun if you are willing to turn your brain off and overlook the more glaring errors, but to each their own. Incredibly subjective as always, but I tend to enjoy mindless chaos a little bit more than most. Not saying this is all mindless, but you will definitely be better off approaching this a lot more casually.

Overall 7/10: A decent story with a handful of flaws, but a number of things it can be praised for as well. Don't take it too seriously till the third act, the entire manga is pretty well written overall but the third act really is an excellent culmination of all the characters and events of the plot leading up to it, wasting no extra pages and stopping right where it needed to. The ending is a satisfying conclusion that surprised me in both its quality and execution, tying up all the loose ends and giving things a great degree of finality.

If you like yandere and don't mind a story that's a bit rough around the edges, you'll be able to appreciate the more unrefined qualities of this manga and the wonderful ending that shines through the things that could've realistically used some improvement.

This shit is straight up (almost) Masterpiece. The story is great and the characters are very fucking scary.

This manga is very very good but not the best. There's still something about this manga that I can't describe in words but it's great. (Especially seggs scene 😈)

The art style is decent, and the characters like Sakura(our girl MC) is very childish, and a typical anime yandere. but OUR MC is very very cunning and smart (He's not that smart though, just like the average male MC but his cunning skill, his own abilities, and luck help him to escape most situations)

And... the end is very... ... well, not as what I expected... but at least, it's great. (find it out yourself)

I would recommend this to anyone who loves yandere girls 🥰
(I bought all volumes of it because I saw Sakura looks like a Yandere 💀)

Very appalling.

Art: 7
Nice t*ts.

Character (May include some spoilers): 1
-155 pages in and there are still very little information & development on mc's personality/traits.
-Oh, and the side characters (excluding the crazy bi*ch) are basically just a decoration. We know nothing about them like at all, they got no background story, no development, nothing. Their only purpose is to increase the tension of the crazy bi*ch actions.
-As for the crazy bi*ch, well she's just a crazy bi*ch. that's it.

... enjoyment: 1
Not enjoyable. No sympathy, no emphaty, no anger, no nothing, i dont feel any connection to the story at all.

TL;DR
Just find another yandere manga/doujin and don't read this one. Your time is precious and dont waste it on this.

Thanks for reading and sorry for bad english/grammar.
