Synopsis

Shintarou Jagasaki is an average neighborhood police officer who hates his job and ordinary life. Though he acts goofy around others and plans to marry his girlfriend in the near future, Shintarou secretly fantasizes about shooting those who annoy him with a gun—much like his hero, the town's eggplant mascot, does.

The daily monotony Shintarou hates so much is interrupted when he witnesses a gruesome murder committed by a man with the face of a monster. When the creature kills his partner, Shintarou's mind is filled with the ways he has wasted his whole life. But as he accepts his impending death, he unwillingly fires a deadly projectile from the top of his fingers at the attacker.

With his arm now permanently coated in a mysterious material, Shintarou is told by a spectating owl that the now dead monster was once human. He was affected by a "Mad Xenopus," a frog-like creature that takes control of its host and changes its physical body. Shintarou initially ignores the creatures' existence. However, after one of them takes control of his soon-to-be wife, he decides to fight and eradicate the former humans to survive.

This manga is one of the most Gantz things that aren’t related to Gantz. You have the cool battles, the strange creatures, the amazing artwork and lots of sex. And, underneath it all, there is a great story about the human condition, and why people dream and desire. How we try to find meaning in a world that feels overwhelming and senseless, and rise above those negative sensations.

I like how complex themes are seamlessly added into the story of policeman Jagasaki when he gets turned into a mutant called fractured human. Jagasaki wanted a different life style and now that he gets one, he has ...

Personally really liked the manga, although it loses it's focus around the second half and becomes less interesting plot-wise. The concept is insanely interesting and fresh (unless you've read chainsaw man) but the manga becomes kind of bland during the latter half. The art is phenomenal and one of the main reasons to keep reading till the end, if the quality of the art is an important to you. Big Warning tho, the author for some reason added this side character who is almost completely disconnected from the story that sexually assaults women with his powers, while his actions are for no reason always depicted ...

STORY: 4

Meet Jagasaki, an average manga hero, who gets to lead a fight against humans that turn into monsters because of their overwhelming desires. Here's a series that starts strong.. and then quite suddenly turns mediocre with a plot that becomes boring and predictable.

This is a seinen (for adults) title with horror and sex, but what spoils the manga is that the storyline follows a very cliched shonen progression: hero gets stronger along with the enemies, each battle to the death has the characters have a conversation like if they were sitting having some coffee, and of course power-ups appear when the fight seems over. ...
