After the death of his parents, a young Mirai Kakehashi is left in the care of his abusive relatives. Since then, he has become gloomy and depressed, leading him to attempt suicide on the evening of his middle school graduation. Mirai, however, is saved by a pure white girl named Nasse who introduces herself as a guardian angel wishing to give him happiness—by granting him supernatural powers and a chance to become the new God.

In order to earn the position, he must defeat 12 other "God Candidates" within 999 days. Soon, Mirai begins a struggle to survive as a terrifying battle royale erupts between himself and the candidates looking to obtain the most power in the world. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

... How?! It's terrible!
It's legit awful. Not even in comparison to Bakuman or the legendary Death Note.

It is very bad all around in its writing, characters and plots.
The concept was interesting but the execution was extremely poor.
Very disappointing as a fan.

I knew this series since few years ago because authors are same with Death Note and Bakuman. As a big fan of Death Note, I can expect this adaptation but the manga rating seems average. Let's see what happens.

The sales don't look so good, but since Ohba and Obata are working on it, I'll consider giving it a read.

It's writing is no worse than other popular anime. Objectively the writing is 6.5-7/10.

Honestly, the manga wasn't great, I stopped reading a long time ago and never felt motivated to start it back up, but I need more shows that are just mindless entertainment, and I love superhero and sentai shit. I'm totally gonna watch this as my main turn-your-brain-off show that I have every season.

I didn't expect this manga to get an anime. I'm watching it. I did drop the manga but if I like the anime adaptation, maybe I'll read the manga again.

I feel like I see manga volumes of this series at my local Barnes n Noble and Kinokuniya like all the damn time lol.
I remember the book covers being somewhat holographic if it is the one I am remembering correctly.

Yikes... well I guess maybe the creator and/or the producers are hoping this anime will increase manga sales...

If you mixed Mirai Nikki with Eden of The East, took whatever you got and divided its quality by 2000, this manga is what you'd get.

I felt this would happen eventually, the manga is very bad, who knows how many chapters they'll adapt. I'll watch it only out of curiosity

Never read the manga but looking at some of the comments above it doesn't seem to be that good.

I'll watch it out of respect for Death Note.

this was laughingly bad. like second part of death not but the character even dumber. this probably purely for promoting something they already heavily invested on, LMAO.

hey.. What website is this? I was googling this kind of website for so long now but I couldn't find any.

Or this website is just specific to this manga?

I really wanna see the sales data of some manga I'm reading.

The art in the manga is top notch but that's about it. The writing part turned out to be really below the bar. I was also disappointed as a fan of the authors and dropped the manga long ago. But maybe I'll read it now that it ends seeing not so many chapters are left.

And I'll probably still watch the anime just out of curiosity. I don't think the art would be as beautiful though.

Yep def one of the weakest works of the famous mangaka duo. Still happy for them and might check the anime if it comes to good review. For now I'll stick with the manga.

The art in the manga is good to look at but unfortunately there is nothing else that is offered hence why i dropped it. The staff look decent but it's not enough to draw me in, i will keep an open mind tho.

I'm a little excited for the anime but the truth is that the last arc was kinda disapointing. So idk where this serie goes. Bakuman and Death Note are amazing, but I can't say the same about PE (yet).

I don't like the manga so far but maybe the anime will be a bit more entertaining, idk. It's not what I'd consider straight up bad but certainly not what I'd expect from Ohba and Obata.

Read the manga cause Ohba/Obata like everyone else and I can only agree with a lot of the comments here. This isn't even remotely on the level of Death Note or even Bakuman.

As other people mentioned, I've also thought of Mirai Nikki lol

The art and background music looks and sounds good so far. I'm going to keep on a lookout for more teasers/trailers and decide if this is worth the watch or not.
