So, this manga was enjoyable for a short while, I thought it had potential and might be good for some laughs, but nope. I first read 15 chapters because at the time that was all that was out, the story seemed interesting at first: Dude finds himself in a new world, finds out a god cursed everyone and his only options of saving them is to either plow them all or kill that god.
Story: What I said just about sums it up thus far, the sex scenes were if i remember correctly far less forced in during the first 15 chapters, but after
...
putting the series on hold for a good while and reading up to chapter 23 everything the story had going for it that I found interesting has been tossed out just about because the past several chapters focused *heavily* on sex scenes that didn't really further the plot in any way and only occasionally did stuff that furthered the plot. I feel this should be the other way around, this is essentially hentai currently because there is pretty much no plot to be had and constant sex scenes for the sake of having them.
Art: The art is the best part of this, it isn't awful. It is in my opinion slightly above average, so I gave it a 7. It's not particularly beautiful or anything, but it is high enough quality that I don't have to worry about eye injuries.
Characters: I gave the characters a 5 to be nice, if I were a professional critic they would probably be rated much lower closer to a 3 or a 2 to be honest. There is hardly any personality to the characters, the character with the most personality is the main character Youta and his can be summed up with "Shounen protag".
Enjoyment: It was enjoyable for a while, but now not so much. I am going to continue to read it for now in the hopes that it begins to focus on the plot more, but chapter 23 ends in a way that makes me think ch 24 is gonna be another sex filled chapter and maybe at the end some plot development. So, I gave this a 6 because while I am disappointed with it at the moment I did have some fun before and I am hoping it will focus on the story more once the mangaka (to put it politely) cools his jets.
Overall: I gave this series a 6 because as I said I did get some enjoyment out of it and the premise seems like it could've been better if he took another route with it, perhaps rather than specify they need to be plowed to be saved from the curse, it just skips to him trying to help them kill that god. But, the mangaka clearly wanted to make something with a lot of sex in it, so naturally he went the route that he did. I have hopes that the mangaka of Elfen Lied can redeem this series to some degree, but I'm not going to hold my breath for it at this point.
