Synopsis

Shuuichi Kagaya is what one would consider an average high school student, but sometimes, he turns into a monster. He doesn't know how or why he got his abilities, only that he would prefer no one knows about them. One night, he finds a building ablaze with a girl trapped inside. Deciding to save her, he transforms and carries her to safety, but accidentally drops his phone.

The next day, the girl he saved—Claire Aoki—finds him and confronts him about his monster identity. She even goes so far as to push him off the school roof to prove her theory after Shuuichi denies her allegations. Desperate to save himself, he transforms, and Claire snaps a picture in order to blackmail him into telling her everything he knows about monsters, which, ironically, isn't much.

As it turns out, Claire has a secret of her own: she has been searching for her sister, who also became a monster. She enlists Shuuichi's help to track her down, but they aren't the only ones searching for answers.

Can't wait for Season 2.
Well now that that is being said let us review it. Finally since a longer time, I found a nice Seinen Anime, which is just 13 episodes long. Sure it ends in a way, which leaves you expecting a sequel, there is some more to be shown.
Anyway, the plot is exactly as I like it, more of a dark one, just what a real R - 17+ Rating needs, Action, Mystery and Supernatural with a small flair of some Ecchi. To be Frank, do not get discouraged by the first episode cause it is just, well OK and the following second ...

Mixed Feelings
I would say its pretty good compared to what other people say however, it can easily fall flat on its face if the next season doesn't do a good a job finishing the story. I feel like a lot of people don't like it because its slow, not to the point, and is more of a weird teen mystery story before anything else. It has weird sexual themes that honestly take a back seat real fast or i just stopped noticing it because it doesn't really matter by the end.

The story feels very muddy but it has its moments and I want to know more. ...

This had so much potential to be a very good anime and when I say that I mean it, think of how good Parasyte was, this could have been at the tier, but of course, the main character is too wimpy for that. Do you love wimpy shrimp main characters or, aka the Shinji syndrome, do you love a show that keeps on making you question every decision? Then “oh boy, do I have a show for you”. I can see why some people liked this, but after finishing it, I have a lot more dissatisfaction than anything. Have you ever wanted to like ...
