In the beginning "Gyo" pulls you in with it's weirdness. The things shown are so odd that it makes you wonder how it's going to be explained and what the meaning behind it is.
Unfortunately, there is no meaning behind this story as far as i can discern. Unfortunately, the explanations given are very poor and hard to believe.
It makes me wonder, what is the point of this manga? What did the author try to convey, if anything?
I guess this manga does offer some very disturbing images which may be enjoyable (they did not affect me a lot, positively or negatively) but what value is there
...
in that if there isn't a decent story behind it?
The art to me is poor. You may disagree, art is very subjective and it is also a matter of style. I rate the art low but that's not an objective assessment at all. So if you really want to know how good the art is, read a chapter or two and decide for yourself.
The characters lack depth and development. They all act in a very straight forward way and without much thought. They may express emotions, but there are no feelings behind it, and you don't get to understand how the different characters think. To put it in a word, they are superficial.
I didn't enjoy this series at all. But you might, read it if you want to find out.
After completing "Gyo" i was left with a question: Why does this manga exist?
