*This is a spoiler free review*

Let's start with the story/worldbuilding:
While I did find the world they were in interesting at first the author doesn't really tell you anything about how it ended up that way other a few comments here or there slipped in waaay too late into the manga. I was able to piece it together simply, for newer readers it may have been confusing.

Characters:
I don't like Denji. That's it honestly. It's not because he is a pervert, I don't care too much about perverted characters. But it would have been better if he were just a pervert. A character that lets himself be ... taken advantage of like a dog, and that constantly risks himself just for the cheap goal of being able to touch women doesn't entertain me.

The only characters I actually like is Aki and that's because he was the only relatable character. I don't even care for character relatability most of the time but it was only this character that genuinely made me crack a smile or laugh whenever he did something stupid. He feels more grounded and fleshed out than Denji which makes it easier to like him.

Power is okay. She reminds me of a rabid dog only there to please the simp community. It feels as though she gets weaker and weaker throughout the story and is only there as plot point for Denji. So much so, in fact, that she isn't even her own character anymore. How does the author makes his own character feel OOC? I don't know how he did it but that is what Power felt like to me.

Makima. I never got the hype around her. I liked her design but she never felt like a character. She felt like the shadow of a character instead. As if she wasn't quite ready to leave the drawing board. She is the personification of life hacks and it starts getting annoying later in the story

Art: It's good. The sketchiness kind of reminds me of Jujutsu. Though, there are some scenes where it is hard to tell who is who due to similar faces but it's not too bad, so that's about it. I liked the art.

Overall thoughts and extra's:

The women in this show. Either they are kickass and sexy/raunchy or not as sexually appealing and useless. There is no in between. The fact that there was an actual orgy of girls and nobody in the comments complained but once we got a small speck of tension between Angel and Aki people were quick to get homophobic in the comments really showed me just exactly who this manga appeals to.

Kobeni: I don't hate her. She is pathetic but she didn't have much of a choice so I can spare her my annoyance.

I just wish that the plot brought itself together quicker. It took over 30 chapter for it to really start moving and even the fights in this manga have quite a repetitive nature.

*minor spoiler*

Denji kind of feels like a major Gary Sue with how he just never dies. The fights become repetitive because of this and they never excite me or make me hold my breath.

*spoiler end*

All in all. The show is severely overhyped.

So some people still like this series and I just don't understand. I'm just hate watching it at this point because I am too far in to just drop it.

Nana- a basic edgy bitch who really isn't smart, all her actions are so forced and her plans are very basic. They do the same things every episode with her and It's all so very predictable and repetitive.

Other characters, You could replace them with rocks and the story would remain the same. No personality. Bland and boring. A poor excuse for characters.

Kyouya- He is the only one who is calling Nana out on her ... bullshit but is always second guessing himself for no other reason that plot armor.

Art- It's nothing mind blowing, but it is decent. They try to make Nana look evil by making the screen red whenever she is doing evil planning but if anything it takes away from the seriousness. I would find it creepier if she always just planned her killing with a smile and a normal screen because then it would imply that that killing these students is not such a big deal to her.

Animation- Mediocre

Sound- Nothing memorable

The story is repetitive. "A girl needs to kill the classmates because these kids are evil." That's it. That's the show. People call it a BNHA and Among us love child but I find it an insult to both BNHA and Among us. If anything, it's like a new inexperienced writer saw death note and BNHA and wanted to make a very bad fanfic with their own OC.
