This is simply one of the most criminally underrated manga. (Like most of its author's work)
Like a good Oshimi Shuuzo's manga, this manga is all about diving into a person's emotion and feelings in the deepest way possible and Inside Marie does it quite literally by actually entering inside the body of a total different human being. That would probably be the most serious, realistic and relatable body swapping manga ever created.
As always with this author everything goes to the most absolute refined subtlety. The art, the dialogues, the pace. Everything is speaking and telling you something, giving you a feeling of an emotion. With
...
the tiniest of details Shuuzo manages to give away deep and subtle emotional informations that no other manga I know has ever managed to come close of ever being possible to produce.
This manga could be compared to a poetry, the more you read it the more you can feel or picture what it is telling. It's about the beauty, it's about what it means to the reader. Even though there is a message it isn't trying to convey it so that the readers understand but for the reader to receive it and make it their own.
It is the most relatable and realistic that it is hard to read sometimes, it shows harsh and truthful realities that we go through but helps us go through them as we accept our weaknesses and receive the help from others. That's when we relieve ourselves of the burden that is over us.
It is a manga about self-acceptation and helps with depression. It deserves so much more attention, go for it, it's short ;)

It's funny how some people dropped this manga after 100 chapters and I started loving it after 100 chapters ^^
I totally understand why anybody would not enjoy, get bored or be uninterested by it since the story takes like 200+ chapters to start unfolding.
For the first 100 chapters you kind of get that filler vibe, that lack of originality in everything, it bothered me in the beginning and wasn't enjoy it as much. The MC also felt kind of emotionless which was irritating.
So in the first 100 chapters there isn't really any plot except gathering the sins so you get that feeling of lack
...
of substance and epicness which starts right about the 100th chapter. So before that you get to know about the characters and some of their backstories to then face adversity where all the epic shit goes down. That's why every single chapter is necessary since it contributes to the understanding of the characters' choices and emotions when you go on with the story.
Now I'm just going to say this, if you don't like ''child-like'' shounens like BnHA or Naruto, then be my guest, dislike this manga and go your way. However if you are a true shounen lover then you will absolutely love Nanatsu no Taizai. I was sceptic about it at first but this manga surprised me, it surprised me a lot. Where it seemed to be emotionless, a sea of emotions was hidden. Where I thought there was no adventure, a rich and masterfully crafted story started unfolding.
This manga is hidden masterpiece.
Just like it's main character, it's not flashy, doesn't try to impress with cool looking characters and crazy battles. Everything about it may seem dull while deep inside it is about to explode with so much richness of drama, action, emotions and story that you're so not ready for.
Nanatsu no Taizai is continuously catching you off guard. Continuously.
It doesn't feel generic, it always tries to surprise you. Even with its style and choices of plot and characters which always make so much sense in the end and never feel contradictory.
It also shows to be a deeply emotional journey as you go on and discover along with the nakamas, their past, their connections and bounds which for some take like 200+ chapters to unfold but are so worth it.
Story 10/10
I already said my piece here and there about everything surrounding the story so.. don't know what else to say except ''brilliant''. Just brilliant.
As said before it takes a while to take off though.
Art 8
The art is great, one thing that I find particularly stunning is the armors, they look insane. I keep getting reminded of Berserk while reading this shit. All this Medieval shit going on really is a sight to see, very impressive looking. Now it's the characters for me that don't look that great, pretty underwhelming. Bad guys or good guys, I'm not a fan of the choice of style overall. Overtime you start liking the characters but at first the art was turning me down a little bit, and it's not the best quality too except for armors and landscapes.
Characters 9
One big point that I haven't mentioned is how interesting the characters are, it's like the complete opposite of Fairy Tail to me where every single character feel corny and generic. I'm not necessarily a fan of the art or design of most characters, they aren't that spectacular and flashy like in Bleach or One Piece but they are really likeable and interesting. You can strongly feel that each and every character has his/her own interesting past and story to tell. That which is completely nonexistent to me in Fairy Tail for instance. There is always that feeling of richness, be it in story, backstory, characters, history and so on. It's the first time that I can sense this feeling of a rich and vast universe and adventure since One Piece. Never felt that since then and Nanatsu no Taizai gave it to me, it says much.
Enjoyment 10
I mean.. it's a blast man. Got totally in love with the nakamas, I really started caring about them and feeling attached to them, there are so many beautiful moment to witness. I like the fact that there is a lot of romance, I'm glad that the author, Suzuki Nakaba isn't ''scared'' to implement romance as most shounen do. I was deeply touched through the romance and there is quite a bit of it, which doesn't obstruct the story but rather gives it way more depth and so more delicious drama.
Also I've been enjoy a lot the bonds between characters, it doesn't feel hollow like they're just a team working together to achieve a goal but rather like a true family that cherishes each like nothing else, it's very beautiful. And there also are a lot a fun and chill moments which are really enjoyable just like when Luffy is on the sea with the Thousand Sunny and everyone, these moments are special and Nanatsu no Taizai does feel special.
Conclusion:
I gave a 10 because I don't see how you can get better than this as far as shounens go.
I'd recommend this mostly to those who enjoy shounens even though I love seinens just as much. I think the story is so deep that some people don't take the time to understand it because it is too hidden, while it might seem dull the dullness itself is like the shell of the story, literally covering its heart. It might take long, but each chapter will pierce through it and reveal more and more of its shining beauty.
I don't make reviews often, just the fact that I had so much to say about this manga speaks for itself.
You beautiful masterpiece.

Alright, I just finished my marathon reading the last chapter up to date.
I don't think there is a more difficult manga for me to review except AOT since there is so few mangas like it. I've never experienced anything like it.
When I first started hearing about all the hype behind the manga I just had to start getting involved and know more about it but I just couldn't quite enjoy nor feel this involvement that everybody was so hyped about while reading the first chapters. You know nothing about the characters yet disaster is coming upon these people you're supposed to care about and
...
you're put into this universe so mysterious and intriguing while not really sure if you're interested in knowing more about it since it can be a lot of informations to digest. The anime definetly helped me with its great pace and intense rhythm to always keep my heart running and on track with everything occurring.
The universe of Attack On Titan isn't beautiful, neither is the art really. Nothing in the manga really is. Except in its ability to show the complexity and depths of humanity. This manga is not trying to sell us a great trip on a fantasy world full of dreams and hopes. It exposes to us the works and minds of humanity in the most realistic way. It's the most realistic manga I've ever read, every decision being made in it doesn't feel stupid or unnecessary cause it would truly would have been done in the world we live in. The way the morals and social behaviors are portrayed are simply breathtakingly realistic. There are displayed in a way where you almost feel like there are no heros, no good or bad guys but just mere people trying to fight for what they think is right. There are depicted some important realities humans live by not knowing if what you fight for is right but merely because you were taught so by your national education. There are many moral and emotional subjects that AOT adresses but this one is the biggest so far.
But this obviously isn't the reason why we were all sucked into this story.
The atmosphere is where it's at. Although I didn't feel it at first this is where all the intensity comes from. This very mysterious universe waiting to be discovered, the perpetual danger constantly threatening us. There is never a time to sleep or rest in this world and so very few moments aren't intense and crucial. As the manga goes on the intensity only grows although there can be time for flashbacks and moments where the story needs to be unfolded but it only makes the drama more and more intense and unexpected.
Story 10/10
This manga does a perfect job to tell a story. It really feels like Isayam as worked on this story to the end, every plot details conjunct perfectly from the beginning to the latest chapters. Every single thing make so much sense that it's scary while having so much twists and turns with almost every single chapters I tip my bonnet to you Isayama-san.
Art 7/10
Welp I think point it's clear with this rating. Not great but not bad either. Great backgrounds and landscapes. I feel like the faces are weird a little too often. The fights are great but could be better I think, especially human fights but titans are perfect. I appreciate the fact that it's not pretty cause it doesn't try to so I could give it one more point for that.
Character 9/10
Could've given it a 10, I just think there could have been more charismatic characters. Now it's the issue cause the main point is to not show charisma to not give away unrealistic feelings that we can't compare to, so the point is to picture normal people that kinda look like us. But still I wish there was more badass looking characters kinda like Levi or Erwin so 9.
Enjoyment 11/10
I don't think I've been this involved and excited about a manga ever. I think every manga gives you different types of feelings so I can't compare but still, the intensity in it is so overwhelming I don't think anything could compare. Actually anything.
Overall 10/10
I already said my piece in the beginning. Where some manga (considered masterpieces) are great and there stray from there core and story AOT manages to be always focused on it as it's ground which makes is so great. While still be able to be in awe and expetancy, it's a remarkable work only to accomplish that. Redondance, boredness and lack is something this manga doesn't know.
Perfect.
Masterpiece.
(changed character from 9 to 10 considering the variety of morals implemented that is a masterpiece work of its own. It requires so much objectivity it's almost non-human I just can't give it a 9)

I'm reading it for the second time and am now convinced what is my favorite Manga of all time.
People say that it's fcked up but this manga has way deeper meanings than people seem to grasp.
I haven't seen a manga that felt that realistic. Any reaction from the characters feel like it could happen in our own lifes and the consequences of events go one after the other being stronger and stronger while being able to make so much sense when they hit.
Even though I feel it's a really psychological manga it isn't less of a romance/drama with huge emotional depth.
What I love the most
...
about Gantz is its realness, how real it feels, like I've never felt so involved in a Manga before this one and it's the second time I'm reading it. Everything makes so much sense in it and absolutely nothing is expected before you turn the page.
This is mature writing to its highest level kiddos, people who wants things going their way won't like it cause there ain't nothing excepted happening in this Manga.
Gantz gave me mind fcks that I will forever remember and has a deep place in my heart. I can't even think that any Manga could ever beat it
ever, it's just the masterpiece of the masterpieces to me.

(Edit: It also has the most epic battles/fights/missions I have ever seen in my frigging life anime/movie/manga wise)
