It has been a while since I finished this so I might have a few memories wrong. The general gist of the story is pretty straightforward and reads like a horror movie. The reveal is pretty interesting to me, but that's because I liked the vague horror aspect of it. It felt very nebulous and inexplicable to a degree, which has become how I like my horrors.
Art is very realistic and serves the mood well. The grisly bits are well drawn with a messy style that makes it feel gritty and dirty, which helps add to the feel. Backgrounds remind me of PastelGames messy art ... fashion, a style I like.
For how short the series is, a decent amount of character is established. A lot of it is done in the prelude, like most horror movies. As the situation devolves, it just gets down to the usual questions about moral actions and survival.
Overall, I was glad this was not too long, compared to some horror that drags it out too much. It was a decent horror read, though the reveal was nothing special. Therefore, it was a bit forgettable for me.

6000 with an intriguing title and cover many people will see something interesting til they see the score and reviews. While having a setting that many can get behind, 6000 suffers from terrible pacing, lackluster characters, and an f-you author ending. The main redeeming factor comes from the art where the artist does a great job of manga's limited colors of black and white to create an atmosphere centered around lighting that makes this quick read at least nice to look at if you find a good source.

Overall, 6000 has plenty of problems while looking good. It's a short 22 chapters so it's entirely up ... to how you want to use your time.

It was a disappointment. Maybe the version I read was poorly translated or it was just poorly written. It hard a hard time getting points across to me, both artistically and dialogue wise. The art is solid but the flow of and the sequences were crappy. I had no idea what was happening most of the time.
Story wise, I am really really let down. It takes place in a facility 6000m underwater where a mysterious massacre occurred! You can play around with so many types of fears! The deep, dark ocean itself scares me personally, nightmare deep sea creatures, claustrophobia(Come on, you can imagine ... the facility collapsing in on you, it could be so scary!). But no. He went with (*SPOILERS*) summoning some ancient evil god or something.
It had potential but I was not entertained. :c
