A good story, does some interesting things, suffers from pacing issues in storytelling (especially toward the later chapters).
It started out really interesting, with a lot of good plot hooks, and while it does tie everything together nicely, you might be left with a feeling of "wait, that's it?" as the ending seemingly comes out of nowhere.
Characters are sympathetic, the art is well drawn (in all of it's gory detail) and I don't feel like it was a waste of time. Just try to keep an open mind and take it at a snail's pace and you will probably enjoy it more.

I would like to start off by saying this manga is one of the most original works of horror I've ever encountered. I expected it to have at least a 7.5 rating. I know most are not fans of horror, and if they are they are very critical. But there's not much to be critical about here. I would say, contrary to others, this manga has very good pacing. I always wanted to turn to the next page and see what strange things might happen next. The art is beautifully grotesque, the settings are nerve-racking, and the characters are interesting enough, likable enough for you

This starts off absolutes amazingly, but then it peters off into a sappy, boring ending. Still, I'd say it's worth a read for the first 2 volumes alone. It's fun and doesn't have an intimidating length.
The characters are not really developed super well, since this is so short, so it's hard to talk about them too much, but most are fairly surface level with their personalities. It's best to treat this one like a B-Horror movie you find on Netflix. It's great for a quick read. I see some people saying to "drop this." To that, I say, just finish it if you already started it. ... Jan 1, 2023
I went into this expecting a horror survival thriller, and ended up getting a pretty generic shounen that just happens to be gory.
The plot itself, is rather silly, and I feel like it had some promise. The monsters were also rather silly, but the art and designs of them helped carry it pretty heavily and I feel like the author did the best with what he had and all he could do with it but sadly that doesn't really stop it from being pretty meh. He really boxed himself in with mascot premise, and it limited what exactly he could do and how far ... |
