This'll be a good read. Tao's and Alma's chemistry is just perfect. Can't wait for more chapters.

That chainsaw-man reference (!) was unexpected:


It was a pretty good read. After reading the one-shot, the sudden "MC is secretly a demon powered overpowered character" revelation at the end of 1st chapter kind of fell... not what I'd want from this manga.

Not really how i was expecting it to go, especially since the one shot was so good I thought it could be something different than another "half demon battling monsters"

I didn't mind the change. The first chapter ruled.

I honestly don’t mind the changes from the one shot. I think Alma’s new design is better but I do think I like Tao’s old design more. As for the content and the powers that have been added I really like them too. It feels like it has a lot of potential and is kind of giving me Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man vibes. Great first chapter and I’m hyped to read the next one!

DUDE this shit was so raw for no reason what the fuck. I really didn't expect to love this so much after 1 chapter but I am completely sold. Sad that the serialization is so slow but if it brings this level of heat I don't mind.
And Tao is so fucking bad omggg.

Does anyone know why they changed the designs? It's like they wanted to make it more shonen-friendly, to phrase it somehow. I didn't really disluke the changes that much, but I felt disappointed when I saw alma's power. I thought he was goinf to be just a cool abd strong guy but not like this. Still, this is just the first chapter so maybe I will change my opinion idk

Probably the one-shot was a bit too much for the shounen demographic, who knows ¯\(°_o)/¯

I'm excited for more, wish we didn't have to wait until September. I don't mind the new designs but the half-demon thing can only be done so many times. Really makes it feel like the entire shonen genre is a one-trick pony sometimes, but I have hope that there will be more to this series beyond that premise and look forward to it regardless.

The story took a weird turn from the one-shot Get Backers-like story to something more akin to Chainsawman.

Tao now has larger breasts, her hair changed colours, her tattoos and piercings are gone and her left hand seems suspicious (probably the scarred left shoulder tattoo had its meaning change to whatever Tao has in her left hand).

Alma can smell fibs? Kinda reminds me of Kimetsu no Yaiba's Tanjiro.

So "problem solvers" is a side hustle, they are evil hunters, kinda sad that this manga is following the same path of what is popular now instead of being its own thing, even though that thing was a bit similar to Get Backers.

bit on the fence about the change. I thought a story around solving crime in a world of beastmen would have been really interesting considering the one-shot and the early part of the chapter. even when tao whipped out the gun I still hoped it didn't go down this path, but then alma pulled out the sword lol. let's see how it goes, but for all the hype from the one-shot it's a bit strange for me tbh

can relate to everything said in this thread.

the thing that annoyed me the most and can sum up every bad thing regarding the changes: tao's larger boobs. yeah i can understand removing tattoos and piercings, japan's standards and whatever, but this? it's obvious this was settled to draw more attention from shounen fans, just like the rest of the new content, and I'm pretty sure it's a design demanded by the magazine. smh

I wish I haven't read the oneshot before, this chapter would give out a much better 1st impression. but, eh, let's see how it goes.

MAGA is the enemy name and the guy at the start was boning a dog. They have to be doing these things on purpose.

One shots are like tv pilots, things will change and its not a bad thing. This was a great fist chapter. It did a great job introducing a bunch of characters and they were immediately lovable. Superb chemistry from the main two and I'm excited to read more. Also all the unintentional MAGA jokes are funny if not a little distracting for me.

They probably had to change a few things now the question should be was the author forced to make the changes or not.

Cool first chapter. I love the character designs of both Alma and Tao. Also, Luka gave me major Miya Chine vibes for some reason

This was even cooler than I expected! I can't believe this hasn't been adapted into an anime yet. The action would look sick!

The character design and paneling are much better than the one-shot, but WTF is that half-demon sheet, get off with that sheet.

Art is incredible.

Finally starting it after holding on for a long time. Tao-san is the one and only reason why I started this, but I'm hooked on the mysterious setting about the disappearance of people and other stuff. Alma is a nice kid as well, and his transformation looked so cool.

The new sign that Luka drew for them was so fucking cool. Need more Tao-san in my life.
