Synopsis

The story revolves around high school student Akira Nikaido, a typical slacker living a normal life. That is, until he meets the mysterious Shirogane, a man who suddenly appears and tells him that they have a destiny together. When Akira hears this, he is shocked and doesn't believe a word of it. Aya, a friend of Akira, forgets something in the school one night, and asks Akira to help her and go find it. He agrees, and while there, he gets attacked by a shadow monster. Shirogane convinces him that the balance between the human world and the shadow world has been distorted and that Akira must become a "shin"- a creature of the shadow world- in order to help restore the balance. The anime has shonen-ai themes which are completely absent from the manga.

It has that classic nostalgic feel of a slightly campy, cheesy, and cringey shonen-ai that wasn't Quite Brave Enough to actually canonize the main relationship in the anime. (There are kisses though! And the two main characters are insanely cute and funny when they interact!) ...

Mixed Feelings
Monochrome Factor sends a group of teenagers into battle between beings of light (Rei) and beings of shadow (Shin). The anime shares this basis of action and supernatural elements with the manga. Unfortunately, the adaptation differs considerably in many ways from the manga by Sorano, Kaili.

Story: Poor pacing, too focused on comedy and the plot is often unnecessarily stretched (4/10)
The student Akira loves to get through his school day relaxed. But fate already has other plans for him. The fact that his classmate Aya teases him with lectures and uses him as a bodyguard for a night-time visit to the school is rather harmless. However, ...

I was baited into watching this as it was tagged with 'Shounen Ai' which is really nothing to do with this entire show other than a few outdated shallow jokes about guys being intimate.

The show goes nowhere and feels like the worst filler arc of your least favourite show.

All the characters are bad stereotypes, theres no depth or growth.

I feel like anyone giving this show above a 4 out of 10 either watched it when they didn't know any better and have nostalgia glasses on when they left the review score or rewatched it or they just genuinely have awful taste.

There isn't ...
