What a wild ride this thing was. Never before has there been such sporadic highs and lows and moments of complete and utter confusion, yet i loved every moment of it.
Sekai Oni walks the balance beam beam between satire and serious, and it can be confusing as to which the focus is supposed to be. On one hand you have the typical troupes of power ups that make a character unstoppable, yet it avoids making the power ups based on the power of 'friendship'. It introduces characters that are supposed to be the elites of their groups only to quickly brush them away reducing

(This is a review for an ongoing manga, and is subject to change.)
When I look for something to read/watch, I look for three things. 1. Good story concepts. 2. Interesting characters. 3. Originality Because, aren't those things what make a good story? What initially attracted me to Sekai Oni was actually the cover art. The covers are all gorgeous, and, much to my delight when I started reading it, there are some really outstanding illustrations within. The only issue I have with the art is that, well, it's pretty inconsistent. Some of it looks top notch and some of it is weird and barebones. Luckily, the good illustrations and ...

Sekai Oni is a strange sort of manga – imperfect and yet it fits with itself like a puzzle. No aspect of it holds it back; rather, it all holds together. I'm not sure if I can even supply any specific criticisms. It is what it is, and achieves what it intends to be. It's like a functioning grandfather clock – the gears, the pieces of machinery inside, might be flawed, but they all successfully and invisibly cooperate to bring you the end result. Is that an end result worth getting? I think so, but even if I know not what flaws it has, I don't love it

Sekai Oni is a story about certain individuals who have been chosen to save the world from an unknown entity. At first the plot might sound typical, and to some extent overdone, but Sekai Oni brings you a much more twisted and to a certain extent, a gritty story to the table.
Beginning with the plot. The story mainly focuses on Azuma Shinonome. A young girl (without going into any great detail to avoid spoilers) who has gone through many overbearing and horrendous events in her life, that have led her to be nothing more than a broken girl, inflicted with deep emotional and psychological ...

Everything in the universe is bound by the rules of balance, Ying and Yang, right and wrong, life and death...
Shinonome Azuma is a very unlucky girl. She lost her parents and ended up living with her uncle's family, but her life went from bad to worse. Child abuse, hate, indifference, are just some of her daily experiences in her new house, and this has driven her to edge. A strange condition has developed in her called "Alice in Mirrorland" where she sees gruesome and strange monsters through mirrors and reflections in the water. The similarities to an Alice in Wonderland world are many, but this ...

Finished it in 1 week, and it gave me reason to sit/lie down and read manga again. It definitely hooked me in with it's very unpredictable routes that the story took. I started reading it because of it's dark theme, it was like staring at a car crash. I don't want to look but at the same time I can't take my eyes of it. The whole manga is weird especially at the first few chapters but it got better and this is probably because more context of what is happening is explained. I wouldn't recommend this to my normal friends but this manga is

What initially drew me to Sekai Oni was the idea of this "other world" in a reflection. I expected it to be more of a psychological story, with Azuma struggling against the abuse of her family (aunt, uncle and their sons) and those first chapters fed into my expectations of what this piece is going to be. However once the story started coming together, I realized that this is gonna be a different kind of tale. Once we meet our supervising Cheshire devil and the other unfortunate souls similar to our main protagonist, each with their unique past and struggles, it takes a strange turn.

Hey hey. I don't even talk english so.
This manga started as: wow, amazing. pretty cool concept. And then after 90 chapters still stays cool. And the ending was pretty confusing and... disappointing. Perhaps the mangaka wanted like that. In that case: Respect. Story (some how): There's this poor little girl (our main character - Shinonome Azuma) that is daily raped by her uncle, and abused by her shi*ty family, and she has no one in the world. Also she had a mental disease. So she sees crazy stuff by looking at mirrors. That disease is called "Alice in the mirrorland syndrome" Azuma adopts a little bird from a ... |
