i came across this series as per The Animeman's video lol
but i actually enjoyed it! I'm a huge sucker for stories that take place in dark urban settings so this review might come off as being a bit biased.
Story: 10 (might containt some spoilers and is a bit confusing lmao)
Basically, (from my understanding) a selection of people have been abducted by aliens or something and have been placed in a fake version of Tokyo, where everything is monitored by an Eye. Anyone (except some special people) who talks about knowing the city is fake is going to be "killed", which means getting turned into a

Final score: 8/10
This manga is truly thrilling, and it feels a lot like reading Eden no Ori, Bloody monday or Bokurano. The way the plot unfolds is riveting, and there is a lot of tension in the scenes since the mangaka does not shy away from showing gore or death.

Just Wow. I just dove blindly into this manga and I have no idea what to think now.
Story starts off with a world is being observed by someone or something(aliens). All we know is that the world the characters are living in, is somewhat similar to japan, but isn't japan at all. They have to figure out how to get out of this world. If they're caught, they'll be turned into puppets, they won't know to to trust or to turn to. Thoughts: I wasn't expecting that ending at all, I was mind blown with everything that happened. I thought that this was a nice ... |
