so i walked into the bookstore and asked for a seinen recommendation, this was what the store clerk handed me and after reading the first volume i just couldn't stop.

jagasaki is a really relatable character, facing the troubles of the world and learning to get by and live his life, but that doesn't mean it's a fulfilling one. the constant dreams of changing his life around, quitting his job, living an extraordinary life instead of a common one if a really relatable sentiment. as the plot thickens and the world around him changes drastically we get to see him evolve as a person and learn ... to make compromises to be able to reach his goal.

the art is impeccable, which is to be expected of such a well produced seinen. the art really goes well with the story and is pretty clean but messy when it wants to be. the manga does have some gore and nudity that is pretty detailed so if you can't handle these things i don't recommend it, howeverrr if you can handle such things i really recommend it!! the characters are really well written and lovable even in tense situations or fight scenes. it's truly a 10/10 and a really enjoyable reading experience

Keeping it real, the first 67 or so chapters of Jagaan are some of the best written chapters out there. 9/10 Read. Unfortunately, after this point the manga becomes complete dogwater. Straight up. How it's written, plot design, character motivation, even how its drawn- everything seems to fall off after the aforementioned point. If you are planning on reading this manga, please don't be surprised when everything suddenly takes a turn for the not good. The fact that this series started out so strong makes it hurt that much more. I still firmly believe you should give it a read and formulate your own opinion ... on it.

Just pathetic. Imagine if you mixed a good premise with inspiration from Parasite and Gantz and simply ruined it because you are terrible at writing narratives and characters, and yet you leave your sick fetishes so visible in the story that it makes anyone embarrassed to read it. I read all those 163 chapters thinking they could still have a decent ending, but no. Just disappointing and a waste of time. I could still say the art style is good, but it feels lazy in the pacing of the series. Also, there's a character in the beginning of the story that makes everything worse, and ... those who read know who I am talking about (and if you think this is a good character although it's a villain, please seek help and I mean it).
