This is going to be a short review since only the first chapter has come out.

So far from the first chapter, the pacing of this manga is incredibly fast. The amount of beats (as in plot points) plus the amount of time between each beat makes it feel very rushed. And because of that, there's not enough time given to each significant plot point. If you stop and look at the amount of stuff that happened in this chapter and the time difference between each point of where they gave important information, you'll see what I mean.

I can't really say anything about the story yet ... of course since we don't know exactly where this manga will go yet. And as for the art, it looks pretty good as expected from Sui Ishida, and there'll definitely be some mouth-watering panels soon to come.

As a major Tokyo Ghoul and Sui Ishida fan I really hope this becomes something unique and succeeds but so far it looks like it'll have a rough start.

This first chapter was fair

Story: 6

The story is a kind of a copy of Tokyo Ghoul but with some different concept.

Art: 8

The art is really good, and I didn't expect less from Ishida.

... Characters: 6

The character design are good and for this first chapter Tokio is the most original character I've found. Azuma seems like an uglier Kaneki.

Enjoyment: 4

The problem with this chapter is precisely the story and the enjoyment, which is the same problem I found with Tokyo Ghoul. This chapter was really boring and pretty basic in my opinion.

I'll continue it for heaven's sake, but I don't think it's higher than the vote I gave at the moment
