I feel really bad when something disappoints me. Everybody does. Especially when you create high expectations, and thats why I'm writing my first ever review here.
Art
The only thing that pleased me during this reading, probably because it has a really common drawing stroke for a post-2010 work. Scenes of death and gore dont heavily shock you, and thats good, since this title isn't supposed to be "dark/obscure".
Story + Character writing
By far the worst part of the manga. I dont feel any genuine effort by the author to make the reader emocionally connected to any character. The whole idea of the series is actually good, but
...
the execution is extremely poorly made. On the first chapter we get introduced to the three main characters; The MC, his brother and their childhood friend.
The MC is too blank, and most of his actions and "character development" are supposed to be supported on his emotional bond to his brother and childhood friend, but the start is so rushed, that when the biggest "twist" comes, and the killing starts, you barely feel anything when he sees someone dies.
His brother is supposed to be that super-talented character, who acts cool and keep most of their thoughts to themselves, but it does feel forced.
His childhood friend is a girl who is supposed to be the smart one, and the role of romantic drama, but her character is really exaggerated, and there's not really a chance to feel attached to her.
The killing. Buddhas statues and sculptures all around Japan start a massacre, smashing, throwing and ripping off anyone that they see.
I didn't read and I don't plan on reading until the point where they explain this, but the idea is sort of cool, but again, its so rushed that I didnt feel anything while a whole class of highschoolers got killed.
Enjoyment.
Well, the first 4 chapters were already disappointing, but reading through the other 20 chapters made me feel even worse. Maybe, if you really, really like
apocalyptic/survival manga, you may find yourself having some fun.
