With the anime adaptation of Darwin’s Game being announced, it felt like the time to write a review of the manga so far.
First off, Darwin’s Game is an engaging series. The story draws you in quick, and while it might not be an innovative series, it is an interesting combination. The action scenes and use of “Sigils” (basically superpowers) are well drawn and make for entertaining fights. The combination of fighting styles including martial arts, guns, and other powers also add a nice change of pace compared to an classic battle royale series. There is little downtime between arcs so the pacing can be

By the time I submit this, Chapter 27 will be out for a couple days. This manga is a fairly active manga, being updated about once or twice every month due to the scanners. I don't write reviews often, so I'll cut to the chase. This manga is a perfect ten in my book.
The story is completely unique, and portrayed beautifully by its gorey art style. The story had me hooked at all time. I plan on rereading it while I wait for the next chapter (as I just picked it up again from where I left off, about 6 months time had passed). The ... Aug 3, 2014
Darwin's game is yet another survival/battle royal manga, but what makes it special? Well the conditions and setting. Yet while it is still to early to compare this with other examples of this genre, it is already apparent that this manga has lots of potential. Though it is full of cliched character and unnecessary fan service still the premise makes it shine and gives a hope for future.
This starts quite suddenly as the protagonist is invited to a mobile social networking game/mmorpg and he decides to give this a try. Then the chaos starts as he is thrown into a world of battles, of various ... May 21, 2019
A refreshing approach to the power-user genre. Where users get sigils, powers, that are not overly powerful and have drawbacks/cost to the users which results in interesting battles. These battles are not won by who can throw the strongest punch using their sigil and brute forcing a win but instead through tactical means. I think this gave it a strong start to the manga but declines slightly as the main protagonist gets stronger.
I have mixed feelings with the supporting roles of the characters, as they have quite stagnant development. In a way it feels like their are simply cogs for the protagonist just to ... Mar 16, 2020
I ill try make an easy way to understand without actual spoilers so here how it goes:
-If you like Gantz, you will love this manga. Trust me. The story gets deep as they advance the manga, easy to enjoy how the drama develop. Its fun how you think they can't advance more and they give you new stuff to hope for. Even without cliff hangers, they still make you want to read the next one. Its easy to love the characters and to get sad and happy how things happens all around them. Its also pretty easy to see yourself in the story, wondering how would ... Apr 24, 2020
I just watched the anime, and liked it enough to read the manga. If you want my complete review, probably just read that one first. This will just be my review on the manga.
Honestly, I did read bits and pieces of the part that was already adapted, and I can easily tell that the anime was a little too fast paced compared to the manga, cutting out scenes that weren't important, but definitely messed with the "wholeness" of the story a little bit. However, other than that small tidbit, I'd say the anime did a pretty alright job at adapating. Alright, onto the unadapted part. Honestly, ... May 26, 2022
well i didn't like it
I came to read to find out about the second season and like, at first it was fun, but it started to have a lot of unnecessary details and the reading got very boring. I basically finished the manga, I didn't read the last chapters as I didn't think so, but I can pretty much assume ... |
