Spotlight Manga: Zankoku na Kami ga Shihai suru



MAL Manga Information Page: Zankoku na Kami ga Shihai suru


Score: 8.30 (scored by 1510 users)
Ranked: #357
Popularity: #2227

For the next two weeks I would like to have a discussion about the manga that focuses on the key elements that we here on MAL use to critically rate a manga: Art, Characters, Story, and Enjoyment.

I would like everyone to approach this thread as if you were going to write a review and structure your initial post like this:


Art - insert rating
Characters - insert rating
Story - insert rating
Enjoyment - insert rating

Art - discuss any pros and cons of the art styling used in the series, try to include some specifics.

Character - describe any of the things you liked or didn't care for in regards to specific characters in the series

etc...



If you are having trouble writing up a review or coming up with specific pros and cons, please don't worry. Just do the best you can with it and if you can only write two or three sentences about any of the 4 elements then that's OK. Not everyone here is currently at a level which will allow them to articulate their thoughts and opinions.

After your initial post is made you can feel free to civilly discuss issues of contention. I am sure there will be many opinions expressed here that some of us will disagree upon and criticise and it is for that reason that this entire club exists. So I hope everyone has fun and I am really looking forward to seeing how this discussion will develop.

It does a good job depicting its main theme, with interesting imagery and a pace slow enough to fully grasp how Jeremy loses its sanity over the course of the first half of the series.

Not too convinced with the course it takes afterwards (to this date I have yet to complete it) and Ian's role not living up to Jeremy's condition. The fact that every other background character is interested in raping Jeremy is – again – working against what this title is meant to accomplish. It almost makes Greg's conduct look normal in a world where everybody seems tempted in doing the same.

If anything this manga is a testament of how disillusioned Hagio was with the concept of family in general. Greg is an abuser, Sandra is completely powerless, and Ian does more harm than good while trying to help. All ends on Jeremy who only gets worse and worse over time.
