I'll be completey honest here, at first when Shuumatsu no Laughter was reccomended to me, I thought I would dislike it, seeing the cover and the protagonist looking similar to Naruto, and the whole "demon" boy being shunned by the people, it just seemed way to similar to Naruto and I just knew I'd judge it with unfair eyes. Let's hope my early assumptions were wrong.
Story 5/10
Without going into spoilers, or repeating the synopsis, the story is about a demon boy and his little sister that offer to get rid of the demon terrorizing a town.
The story is pretty straightforward and doesn't really do

I first started reading manga seriously in 2012 so this was one the first mangas I discovered as a young weeb.

The story itself has solid pacing with an interesting arc and a comfortably placed origin story. The exposition never feels awkward or blatantly expository, and the origin story itself was really quite interesting considering the dynamic between the two leads. There's a bit of a message ... |
