Synopsis

Although not related by blood, Kingo and Kayano have grown up together in an orphanage and are the closest thing either of them has to a family. When it seems that their dreams of being adopted are about to come true, their new parents turn out to be Jinka! Just as Kingo is about to be eaten, a Jinka blooms in Kayano...but her Jinka is very different. It doesn't attempt to hurt Kingo or other humans. Kingo must do everything he can to keep his sister's affliction a secret so she doesn't get pruned. One day, while working as a lowly grunt for the Flower Funeral Forces, Kingo gets an alert about a Jinka near his apartment. He rushes to the scene to find Kayano surrounded, and earns himself a bullet through the head for trying to save her. But when he wakes up, he's in a mysterious pruning facility, his sister is gone, and he is now infected by a Jinka himself—Kayano.

Preliminary (2/? eps)
This story is one I have somewhat high hopes for. It’s off to a pretty good start the stuff with the sister and how he gets powers is somewhat predictable/cliche but it’s executed well and the story has a lot of room to build on from this starting point. The art is really detailed and beautiful while also being horrific. I especially like the inclusion of color pages here and there to really add some flavor a lot of manga series don’t have. It’s an amazing visual experience so far. Im optimistic and think this has massive potential to grow as a story (no pun ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (3/? eps)
Spoiler
The art in this is great, and already I have a deep feeling for the characters in this story, namely Kayano, the main character's younger sister who has a short time (or maybe not?) "on screen." There's a lot of detail, and the landscape and character design are beautiful - the world building is already really great: complex but not hard to understand. However, as a Tokyo Ghoul fan, I can already tell this is going to be pretty similar (half-human half-monster, MC can control said monster, monster(s) eat others and spread that way, MC being saved by someone and getting infected that ...

Preliminary (6/? eps)
The concept and lore isn't too bad... but it's boring. I can't have affection for any characters and I don't care what happens to them. Something is missing for making a good story that is actually enjoyable. The story is build like a classic shônen but that's not really the problem here. It's boring and in the same time it's too rush, characters change their mind/make decisions too quickly and there's no time to set the mood/the ambience.

I have the feeling that this manga is a shônen who doesn't want to be one. It tries to be more "adult", more "seinen-like" but it fails and ...
