I liked it! I dunno if I could see this as a series but it was a good solid one-shot, especially after how awfully Promised Neverland ended.

It was decent, but I couldn't see it lasting longer than maybe 20 or so chapters. The pictures showing the Grace Field children were a nice touch.

I don’t think this would work long term as a series without feeling repetitive or predictable. But it was good one shot

Decent One-shot. I don't think i will remember it, but it's a good short story.
Saborou looked like a homicidal Inspector Gadget at first, it was very uncomfortable.

Very good indeed, but definitely not suited for a long serialization

Actually pretty decent and heartwarming one-shot (though I don't like MC' design, he's creepy)

The twist was pretty predictable. But overall still good for a one-shot manga. I would be surprised if this becomes serialized though.

Scary and Wholesome in the same time, I really liked this one-shot.

I personally could see this as long series running mostly because as MC said himself, he is just photographer, he isn't doing his job to fix relationship, help with closers, achieve justice etc. he cares only about taking photos.

So I think this could work as (monthly) anthology series in which he would be only recurring element. Similar to Yami Shibai, Goosebumps, "Tales from the Crypt" and "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark".

Manga recommendation:
- Spy x Family (Ch.123/? - biweekly) | Sakamoto Days (Ch.231/? - weekly)
- MARRIAGETOXIN (Ch.141/? - weekly) | MAD (Ch.33/? - biweekly)
- Make the Exorcist Fall in Love (Ch.101/? - biweekly)
- Monochrome Days (Ch.28/? - biweekly)
Anime recommendation:
- Deca-Dence (Finished) | Wave, Listen to Me! (Finished)
- If My Favorite Pop Idol Made It to the Budokan, I Would Die (Finished)
- Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater (Finished)

True as an anthology it could work. Maybe if they spaced it by month or bimonthly they could stretch out the concept a bit. But I still feel the longevity is limit because novelty of the concept by itself will grow tired. On the other hand, if they tried to go for a plot I think it would ruin the point of the MC being a somewhat detached individual doing his job of putting others to rest.

Still that's just my opinion. Like you said there are many similar successful examples. So I could be wrong

I’m sure this could be made into a series. Spirit-of-the-week type of thing.

Not bad for a one-shot. Compared to the introduction of The Promised Neverland, not close to being as good but compared to the second half of that, this was a significant step up. I was a bit worried seeing these two work together again after the disappointment of the story of Neverland as a whole but this isn't a bad one shot. Fairly liked the concept of it and the ending to it was solid too.

I really liked it! gave me some mushishi vibes and it is always great seeing Demizu's art. I can see it as short but sweet anthology but it definitely won't last very long. Either way nice one-shot.

This was really lame and half-baked. I think this was meant as a one-off thing, since it wouldn't work well as a serialization.

I think while not a long story it could've been a nice short series with some potential. Still I think it remaining as a one shot is best
