Okay so I'm gonna start off by saying this review will contain SPOILERS!

This manga is really good and is very interesting. I was intrigued to read it because it's produced by the same guys who made Death Note which is a masterpiece and kind of rips off Future Diary's plot.
The plot is about 13 angels who are tasked with finding humans to give wings and arrows so they can compete to the death to become the new god. So yes it is basically ripping off future diary's plot but in a different way.

The first chapter is great and instantly had me hooked and the ... story kept opening up and the stakes kept getting higher. The manga's first arc with metropoliman is fantastic as he's such an entertaining villain and the manga peaks in the middle with the fight at the amusement park. The second half wasn't really as good as the first as it did get carried away with trying to tell it's message of what it means to be happy and the existence of god. The ending really surprised me as I expected Kakehasi to win the game through killing but the suicide kid becomes god through peaceful agreements.

The ending itself is pretty shocking as the whole of existence collapses and everyone disappears but t still felt like a happy ending somewhat. And you gotta love how the professor character sees all this shit and sees reality collapse and he still refuses to believe god doesn't exist!

The character's are very interesting but have some duds in there. The MC, Kakehashi, is as generic as they come, a long haired skinny teenager although he does kind of stand out as the first thing you see him do is attempt suicide. His girlfriend is a full blown wholesome mary sue and 4 out of the 13 candidates barely got any screen time and you learn nothing about them. But the rest of the cast is great with Metropoliman being a really great villain. They each have different reasons for wanting to become god and I liked how their angels corresponded with their personalities and desires.

This is the best manga I've read this year so far and that's obvious as it was made by the Death Note duo. Though I'd say that Death Note and Future Diary are better than this it's still a really fascinating and thought-provoking read and I recommend it.

The black lagoon manga is great but a bit of a waste of time for me. The anime adaptation is one of my favourite shows of all time because it's absolutely amazing. This manga is pretty great too but in all honesty I was just reading it to see any stuff that wasn't in the anime. So I started from the beginning and the artwork is really nice and packed with swearing which I like.

The action is really nice to look at although it seems a bit packed if you ask me. Having all the gunfire and explosions packed into multiple tiny panels was ... a bad idea.

I also like the way the arcs are titled. With other manga arcs the titles never indicate when an arc starts and ends but here they full on part them. For example, Bloodsport Fairytale parts 1-6 and Fujiyama Gangsta Paradise parts 1-16. Speaking of which I really appreciated the Fujiyama Gangsta Paradise arc a lot more thanks to this manga.

Now as I get to the El Baile de la Muerte arc I began to lose interest as the pacing slowed down dramatically as every chapter became packed with wall of text syndrome. So I skipped to the next arc that wasn't adapted and the same issue persists hence why I've dropped it. And since I hear this manga has a hiatus issue then what's the point?
But I'm not dropping it because I hate it, I fucking love black lagoon I just got fatigued due to the later arcs' pacing.

My god this manga deserves its reputation. What a sad tale that is only made even sadder knowing this might've happened to someone in the real world.

The manga does a great job at showing how hanging round people who are bad influences can ruin your life. It also does a great job at showing how awful drug addiction, prostitution and "slut culture" can be. It all started because she wanted to be less mundane and more noticed by the "cool" kids only for them to spiral her into her demise. Honestly would've been better if she remained that way in the beginning.

The only reason ... I've scored it so low is because it's just a generic hentai manga with a tragic demise story behind it. The sex scenes are just gross in my opinion and although the first sex scene was entertaining (especially with the way they censored the dicks) it got stale really quickly. It got to the point where I just skipped past them towards the end.

Also how the fuck does she get horny over everything!? And how is she tight despite getting fucked a lot? Is she a sexual anomaly or something?
And how come every guy who she encounters is some sex pest who wants to have sex with her? That's just incredibly unrealistic.

Anyway it really disturbed and disgusted me which is good as I think that was the intention. More than deserves its reputation and god damn it shook me!
