So - I admit I don´t read much manga, but I´m translating one series by this mangaka, Pandora Hearts. And I browsed around and found Crimson Shell. As I saw it has only 6 chapters, I decided "why not read it?" In the end, the length was the thing that made this series lose a point because it was outstanding.
Story - 9
The story was shockingly outstanding right from the beginning. It was exciting from the start and in the ends it had breath-taking situations which is a great +. Yet after finishing the last chapter I was like "why is this not any longer?"

I would give this a all 10 but it had the capabilities of being more than a one-shot. This one-shot had everything perfectly placed for how short it was. Excitement, betrayal, love, friendship, evilness, and at the end a very sad part that made me cry.
It's obviously done by the same author which makes me love it even more. If you love Pandora Hearts then you will love this one-shot. The art was beautiful, the character were done quickly and right.

After reading the other reviews for this manga I had high hopes. Unfortunately it did not live up to my expectations or even come close to them. This was not good and the reason is that it is too short. It has a very interesting premise, but not nearly enough time to flesh it out. You don't learn new information organically at a moderate pace, you get infodumps. Except the infodumps don't even make sense because you haven't seen the information applied to a scenario to fully grasp it. Aside from that, the characters are very flat and I didn't care what happened to any
