THIS REVIEW HAS SPOILERS
The story takes itself too seriously, making the main character seem like a cartoon supervillain. So fast-paced that relationships go stale, the side characters get no screentime and when they do, they are even duller than MC. MC is trash and his killings aren't even memorials, just a stab or two. All adults in this story are trash. The side characters that are adults are torturers, abusers, killers, sadists, or rapists. I was honestly confused about why the author was trying to make it so edgy. I feel like they had to do all this awful shit to the MC so
...
I would have an ounce of remorse in his killings and justify why he killed random kids. The main character kills people yet the cops somehow are so incompetent that they can't put the pieces together that it's him. The Mc got plot armor and he won't ever get consequences. Almost every character hates him and bullies the main character for no reason during the first few chapters. He also can kill a grown man, when he is about 10. Most characters introduced that you think may be important are just cheeky pricks that the MC will kill later. When you do meet the people MC stays with for a while they bring nothing to the plot but some gang shootout and no gravity knife fights, who knew kids some 3-foot kids can jump over a 7 feet tall man and slice his throat? I didn't know until I read this manga!
The MC's solution to everything is murder, he can't come up with something new? He disposes of bodies and kills people with no blood on his clothes. A whole knife fits in his pocket not cutting him too. The good thing about this is the art but the story can make even great art feel awful. Plus if people are going missing, wouldn't it be very easy to track down since so many deaths are happening in that one orphanage/laboratory where they kidnap children and "experiment" on them?? There is also some woman who does acrobatics in heels and has somehow left the dude shooting wounded with her with knives. How do you lose when you have the upper hand with a gun??? Murderer child is now in some gang and defeats adults and now is some killing pro (Of course he is). The author tried to make it like MC has an adult mind of a clever killer psychopath at age 10. Whenever it cuts to some 10 year old trying to sound smarter for his age, I just cringe.
Just don't take this as a serious read, the author was going for a serious psychological read and it failed in that. Something I would recommend that I believe would be better than this would be, Brutal: Confessions of a Homicide Investigator. It has a better plot, good and memorial killings, the people actually deserve to be killed, and a better crazy MC.
