| I like Kaiju No 8 so far, and I plan to read the manga when the anime ends. But I've been hearing lots of ppl claim the manga went downhill, is it really as bad as ppl claim it is? |

| kaijuu8>> BNHA so u know characters, tgeir development, fights, power system, emotions in all these aspects kaijuu leaves my hero in dust |
| That aside, I heard some people saying that the manga just becomes a generic shounen later on so that's why they are disappointed. I myself haven't read the manga so can't say anything about it. Best is to just read it yourself and see if it gets better or worse. Mod Edit: Removed off-topic sentence |

I thought the way it has built upon itself is tremendous, and the most recent few chapters have especially engrossed me. yea yea i totally agreed after the fights of shinomiya kikoru n hoshina how can someone say it went downhill dude must be reading something else! |
| kaiju 8 bad in general. |

| Suppose we'll find out soon enough |
| Wait...there're ppl like that!? Either they're retard or haven't even read the manga at all. After watchin' the first ep I started the manga and it was so much enjoyable that I couldn't help but read it straight for hours catching up to chap 105(latest release of that time, currently it has 107 chaps). Rating: 8.4/10 |
| I liked it a lot for a while but I had to drop it because they really short changed the mc |
 |
| yeah i used to like the manga when i first read it, enjoyed the first like 60-65 chapters but after that, it's just uninteresting as hell. also the score keeps dropping, it was rated 7.77 when i first started reading early last year and now it's on 7.72. |

| You could read the reviews for more in-depth analysis. I'm up to chapter 105 and yes the manga started out interesting, but quickly became... I wouldn't say bad, but boring. Next part is spoilery: You would think MC wanting to join the force and him becoming monster would create an interesting and lasting conflict to resolve but no, he joined easily. And when he got found out? That matter gets "resolved" in a few chapters and bam, he's fighting with the force again. Also the author failed to utilize his MC, he could have offered an new and unique perspective as the older "loser" guy but no, a few chapters and he's indistinguishable from any other shounen MC that gets admiration from other people not through his effort, but because he's an overpowered monster. The manga did a switcheroo, sidelining both the male friend and the childhood friend (whom are much more important to the MC's motivation and past issues) to focus on the twintails girl, who is largely irrelevant to the MC outside of the damsel in distress situation. She's the one that gets the most "development" and her background and story arc is kind of okay, but it's nothing to write home about. Also this manga relies too much on the "cool" moment. It worked the first time when he's just turned into monster, but the author kept overusing these scenes with little to no build up, makes them feel bland and unearned, often times reaching the level of ass-pull. Characters do die here and there but there is no tension whatsoever. This could have gone to different and imo more interesting directions, but it didn't. I do intent to finish the manga, but can't say I have much motivation. |
