I am so not going to lie about this manga, it’s weird. I mean, I like twisted fairy tales but this kind of goes pretty grim. It’s not that I don’t like it; it’s just that this was very off putting when they started hacking up people and talking a lot about starvation. It isn’t in every story as this is a collection of very short stories but still.
The stories do pan out rather well making things fun and you don’t really know what is going to happen at the end even when it’s as short as two pages. The problem with me is that
...
they were not the laugh out loud comedy I like but more of a sweat drop style comedy with black humor. By the way, if you are really sensitive about religion, do not read the story I.N.R.I. It is pretty much a turned around version of the story of Jesus. I mean it, they have Jesus being the one who is doing the killing and sexual acts and the ones who persecute him are the ones doing good. Very turned around and twisted. Just the fact that it’s in this manga says that the writer believes it to be a fairy tale. And we can get into a whole manner of discussion on everything that is, but I would rather not.
The artwork is… well… different? It’s high detailed and I look up to the person who drew it because the shading is pretty much all pen lines or speckling but it’s just not that appealing to me. This is only my opinion and I am not going to say its bad but it’s a style that I am not that drawn to when it shows ether really starving people or really fat people. When you do see normal people, they are normally being chased by something.
