The motto of this "review": Even if this was the one and only manga on Earth...
I want to make something clear at the beginning: this post should absolutely not be born as a review if commenting would be an available option on manga info pages. I've never ever felt such boiling frustration like this time after spending so little time with a story... Given, that the other 2 reviews fulfilled their tasks - giving an average overview on what you may expect from this erm... piece of work - rather "politically correct"ly, I yield to my burning emotions and channel them in writing these observations
...
of mine...
Firstly,I have to give credit. The artwork is the one and only thing that made me read this manga up to volume 4 (and the hope - which dies last, but dies, eventually). However, this may be untrue for others because matters of taste. Still, the drawing is quite a decent one of his kind (even if it has to be blamed for awekening false hopes in me...)
And this is the point when all the good things that can be said - run out.
Namely, both the story and the characters are INCREDIBLY LAME. For the characters, one sentence will suffice: they're all made up of badly combined clichés. To the story now: There is no story, as such. Okay, we await a boss fight as well as a "boss fuck", but otherwise, it lacks everything a good story should have. No meaning, no actual moral/ethical/etc problems to solve, no twist, no suspense... (if I reflect upon what I have written till now, here I have a YaOI-stamp for the story [YaOI standing for no climax, no point, no meaning] except that in this case, the eye candy is supposed to be gore and bloody agression) etc. Maybe the perplexing absurdity of certain developments can be amusing in some was...for some people... o.O. Is it just me, or is there someone else out there wondering how appropriate a setting is a junior high school to a seinen manga? I cant stop being awed how irrealistically things are unfolding... Some nude girls pop up here and there bragging about being raped, body parts fly on the private (!) middle shool's playground and grenades in the gym and whatnot. Seriously... :D (my rage is slowly evaporating while laughingly recapturing all this ridiculus mess)
I admit, this mess cannot have been anticipated from vol 1 - but now, with vol 4, the niveau of the story has sunken so low, that it's impossible for the future chapters to reach even the "acceptable" level.
So, being left really nothing else to say, here I have my verdict as the continuation of the motto in the beginning:... I wouldn't continue reading this piece of... work.
Thanks for the patience. I really hope that I convinced some of you of not picking this series...
