Zone-00 (Manga)

This manga tries too hard. It tries way too hard to be different . . . without actually being original at all. Being that I have only read the first 2 chapters this review should be taken with a grain of salt, but for me, 2 chapters was enough to make me never want to see this comic again.
I'll start with the story. The story didn't do much to bring the reader in and the panels were cluttered and hard to make out exactly what was going on. Despite my love for the art style, it hindered the storytelling by being too stylized to the point where it became a mess.
Despite that, my main problem was the characters. They showed no personality and what they did show was immaturity in the writer. The characters felt like bad fan-characters. The heart of any story, whether it may be anime/manga/novel/movie is the characters and these characters made me embarrassed to call myself a writer.
Overall the panels were confusing and had poor use of space, the characters were lacking to the point of no return and it bored me whereas I had to stop reading this early on. Who knows? The series could get better, but with these fundamental aspects laying below mediocre value, it's hard to see how it could. read more

I liked the 2 first volumes very much. The characters are all amazing, when you read you want to know more and more about them (at least for me it was like this). The story is another thing that holds you, at the end of the chapters I was like "omg what happens next?", and the art is good, but could be better.
