Not gonna talk much in this review

First of all this manga is really good and worth reading at all cost, i'd recommend reading it instead of having to read all of this review.

Story 8/10
It's a cool and unique consept of story, or should i say, the consept of the "power" is unique. The MC could convert himself into a "electrical waves" which makes him be able to move from one location into another with just teleporting from one device into another device as long as the device has electricity in it. He was also be able to control the devices, including train, plane, traffic lights, ... etc.

Art 9/10
The art is unique, it matches the atmosphere that happened in the story. It's simple and complex at the same time, and there's barely a disturbing art in it.

Overall 9/10
Yep, absolutely recommended. If you're searching for an antimainstream story and concept, this should be it. Also it kinda reminds me of Serial Experiment LAIN

So far so good, if you can stomach a bit of gore then Denjin N is heartily recommendable!

The story revolves around the main character who's terrible life has left him with only one "joy" in life, and that is his obsessive parasocial relationship with an idol that was kind to him once in highschool.

He gets god-like powers, and of course chooses to use them to live out his obsessive fantasy of "protecting" the girl of his dreams, with predictably catastrophic results.

The manga is in a good place right now, where us readers are left wondering how the main character will develop; will he refuse to ... accept that he's on the wrong track; will he finally become able to have a nuanced relationship with the girl he is so obsessed with? Many interesting unanswered questions.

How the writer chooses to handle this will decide whether or not this will be going up in score, or down. The characters are a bit flat at the moment, but this is already changing for the better as the story unfolds. I expect good things!

This is like Death Note on drugs but minus a smart MC. The ending is a bit of head scratcher and the way it was handled was awkward and left open to interpretation.

The only positive aspect about this is that Inabe sensei, as usual, did an excellent job in drawing department. While I do expect Kuraishi sensei to execute this well, the premise was good & exciting but the way the story handled is very clumsy and inconclusive.

This could be a promising story in the genre of horror and gore but for me it is just wasted potential that gone to messy ending.

If you're ... a seasoned fan of horror and gore, I wouldn't suggest this, but if you're just interested, give it a shot.
