SPOILER FREE REVIEW
Girl may kill is a "drama" using mafia ambientation,if you're expecting blood and a show of extreme violence in each chapter, just calmn down, this manga is not a gore thing. But a good drama need good characters and this manga fail on it. It's a cool to spend some time, but nothing great.

Story- 7
The idea of use mafia to create situations of conflict and exploring the dangerous aspect of this side of society is pretty well made, the reader understand that the characters are in a dangerous place and their life is in a constant risk, however the story doesn't ... have a defined plot, an end to aim, we only know a bit about Mei's goal and the others characters just follow the mood. The author make very strange moments, the characters take unatural actions without much background to explain it and the end is just ???? YOU DON'T THROW AWAY THE WHOLE NARRATIVE PROGRESSION IN SUCH A SIMPLE AND INCONSEQUENT WAY it looked like the manga was canceled or the author get tired of it, but the final makes sense with the "Scorpion and the frog" story of the beggining of the manga.

Art- 4
It's not bad, but is nothing special and the scenes of fight seems "steady" to much to a person in movement.

Characters- 5
The characters doesn't look like humans many times and are hell weak.
Gohongi: The nice guy, with some values but with ??? motivations, but the author uses him in a good way to show the perspective of a normal person in such extreme scenario.
Mei: She has a motivation in the manga and guide the whole narative. *****SPOILER But damnit she throw it away, her goal is what made the story go for 19 chapters just to vanish in a strange manner and after that the thing get out of hand.****** END OF SPOILER
Katsura: Exists to be our hotblooded onee-chan.
Kuzuki: A good oldlady i like her, one of the few "normal" person here.
Ristu: She's here just to create conflict to others characters solve.
Manome: A good guy, but one detail of his past just turned the whole series bad :(
The other characters are not so good and have little timescreen, but with a potencial to be good characters if the writer wouldn't have been such a moron creating a plot with such shallow end.

Enjoyment- 6
Even with such weak story the manga is pretty good to spend some time and is cool how the characters deal with this dark side of society.

Oyasumi Punpun is a great manga, however the manga have some issues that can bother manny people. And in this review i'll try show you these issues if you are looking for things that can bother you in the reading please look this review.

Story-9
The story is about the life of Onodera Punpun since his 11 for his twenties and we see the boy growing with manny MANNY troubles with sad, depressed and astonish moments in the narrative.
The story have much dialogue what get the things a bit boring in some chapters if you are the kind of person whose don't like read very much ... it may annoy you, beside these issuens the story is GREAT the author makes you feel like Punpun in moments of depression and despair. Since the beginning the narrative is very realistic and don't saves resources of story-telling like sex or death if you are weak mind and easily disturbed please stay away if you don't mind for this juste enjoy and learn some life lessons.

Art-10
Combining with the story the art in this manga is wonderful and realistic, the city, the people and even Punpun(who have the simplest design in most part of story) are very well represented and some moments the art is surrealistics but its works perfectly.

Characters-8
The characters are very meh, Punpun is extremely well developed, but the others are simpler and do not have a GOOD time screen than it. Some characters look useless, they do not interest anyone and they do not develop the story, if those rotten apples do not show up most of the time, the manga could be so much better.

Enjoyment-9
The manga is very good you can appreciate every chapter. Even with some boring moments the art compensate(try find Punpun in random places ^^)

Overall-9
The manga is amazing and if you like depressing and more mature stories and still didn't read this manga stop what you are doing and go read. The manga is a good experience and you could even learn some things with that and think about your life.
