FOR A SPOILER LESS REVIEW READ THE SUMMARY AT THE END.

"My Wife... it's an Angel."

"This morning, I woke up to everything destroyed. It was more than a disaster; it was an apocalypse."

You barely will ever think that these two dialogues were said by the same person and definitely could not have guessed that they were said in the same chapter too. Such contrasting lines that it can be mistaken for different genres.

Then welcome to the review of a manga which no other person has left a review for, "Shuumatsu no Hanayome-sama: Sweet Home†Melty Life". The fact that no one else wrote a review is maybe ... the only reason I am writing one. I maybe am not the best at giving reviews and even worse at rating things, but at least I could provide some insight on the basic outline of things.

Me, wandering in this vast sea of entertainment, just randomly searching for that one molecule of enjoyment, was enthralled by that beautiful cover art of the manga which may have drawn in you too, that's why you are reading this review. Without any intentions of getting spoiled, ignoring all the review comments, I blindly dived right into it. But little did I know that I would regret the choice.

Onto the synopsis, We see an older Onii-san, in love with our MC, trying to propose him at the start of the story. But confused by the absurd request and flow of things the MC runs off rejecting the proposal and apologizing. Waiting in home was his mother, giving him some "Domestic Violence" therapy. And waiting outside were the bullies, who beated the cr*p out of him while he constantly prayed for angels to come and save him. At that moment our older Onii-san comes to help him with patching up his injuries. And then she comes up with a brilliant idea.... to "change the world into something wonderful" with byproduct being destroying it....

We have a shota MC with a broken view of world, devoid of the feeling of love. Then we have a shotacon and a yandere FMC going to the extremes for her love. We have a newly introduced character of a righteous teacher who somehow survived the calamity and now is trying to search for her students.

Now onto some other stuff. Art constantly dwindles between average to decent. Some panels are drawn well and look good too, while in some instances it feels like it is improperly erased by an eraser. For character designs while the design of MC was pretty meh but FMC looked good with all that angelic stuff. Well for the pacing, I think there is not enough material yet to decide for it.

Summary: The FMC is in love with the MC and she destroys the world and turns it into a world that "could not sadden him" while they continue living their married life.

If you are weak or can't handle Shotacon and Yandere characters then you should stay a bit far away from this. Nevertheless it is bound to be cancelled if it comes to the view of twitterians due to their "Cancel Culture".

With this I scraped all I could from that minimal 3 chapters. As this has so less amount of chapters and the story was okay too I am giving it a 6 (can change in the near future). Hope this helps!

2.4/10


This is one of the most revolting mangas I’ve seen in a fat minute for two reasons: portrayal of religion (Christianity) and straight up pedophilia. With that being said, I have a bias against the concept of this manga, since I am Christian, so take this review or most of the negatives with a grain of salt — as for the pedophilia part, it’s just bad.

To start off with, no character in this manga is sane or rational — child abuse? Oppressive religion? A corrupt angel? Pedophiles left and right? A brash and naive child? Yes to all of the above. Without diving into ... spoilers, all of the characters are batshit crazy, and there’s just this huge looming plot hole due to each of their idiocies to either be so brash to covet a literal child or naive enough to not worry or pay attention to any of their surroundings.

Of course, most plot holes can be chalked up to the answer of “he’s just a child; he’s been mentally and physically abused,” but I find this a half-assed way as to not write rational or deep characters. As for the side characters, pedophilia. Yup. That’s all I have to say about them. Think about how deep every cliche yandere shotacon is written in a story, and you get whatever this manga made.

Enough of the characters, let’s get onto the actual plot and storytelling: The storytelling of this manga isn’t bad, since the art remedies the seriousness and “wholesomeness” of the manga quite well. However, this comes with a brutally large amount of plot holes and direct insertions of “plot” that become the unexplained, making the story even more idiotic than it should be. Most of the developments in this manga have no natural progression; instead, they are just inserted into the plot for the “wow factor” the manga provides by being morbid at times.

I would gladly and would love to rate this manga much lower than I did, but by the pure shock of each development made me slightly — very slight — curious about how this garbage story would need.

On a somewhat off topic note — For crying out loud Japan, would it have been possible to be normal for once and not write a story about a 10 year old being sexualized each chapter with the moral and message of the story being “religion bad and stupid. Haha! Look at how creepy and weird it makes you!”


You guys know this is just my opinion, right?
