The story of *Guilty Crown* is set in a dystopian future where Japan is under the control of an international organization called GHQ. The protagonist, Ouma Shu, gains a unique ability known as the "Power of Kings," which allows him to draw out weapons from other people. While the premise is intriguing, the execution has been a mixed bag for many readers. Some find the plot predictable and filled with clichés, but still enjoyable due to the genre's inherent appeal.

Art Style
The art style of Guilty Crown is one of its strong points. The detailed and dynamic illustrations effectively capture the intense action scenes and the ... emotional moments of the story. The character designs are visually appealing and fit well with the futuristic and dystopian themes.

Character Development
The characters are a bit of a hit or miss. While some characters are well-rounded with clear strengths and flaws, others come off as one-dimensional or overly stereotypical. Shu, the protagonist, undergoes significant development, but some of his actions and decisions can feel inconsistent. The supporting characters have their moments, but they often fall into familiar archetypes without much depth.

Realism of Reactions
The characters' reactions to events and situations can sometimes feel exaggerated or unrealistic. This is particularly true in high-stakes scenarios where their decisions might not always align with their established personalities. However, this can be somewhat overlooked if you are more focused on the action and drama rather than character realism.

Overall Enjoyment
Whether others will enjoy largely depends on their preferences. Fans of dystopian and action-packed stories might overlook its flaws and enjoy the ride. **However, those looking for deep character development and a tightly woven plot might find it lacking. The series has its moments of brilliance, but it also has its fair share of shortcomings.

***In summary, Guilty Crown offers a visually stunning experience with an interesting premise, but it may not satisfy everyone due to its predictable plot and inconsistent character development. If you enjoy the genre, it's worth a read, but manage your expectations accordingly.

***Mostly you can care about the ending where it's different

***Might give you a hard time in reading as most available collections in online ends in Ch-11 (anime, ep-6)
