If you're Andrew Tate, this is probably the best manga for his cult. You might find some enjoyment in this trash, but I really hope you don't believe in anything this manga is trying to write.
And it's from the same author that wrote "Gyakusatsu Happy End", another manga I reviewed. Oh boy...


Story: 2
The story started off really interesting. A boy convicted of murdering rapists, hoping to find his loved one in a harsh, apocalyptic world. They go deeper into the "sickness", different people with different perspectives of solutions. They do somewhat follow the same repetitiveness and even plot points as other zombie series, which might ... have you rolling your eyes.
As you continue to read though, you realize that men are painted as disgusting vermins or worshipped as gods, the irony within the story is somehow that women are incapable of anything by themselves. While I do understand that it's not like men have disappeared; they've just turned into monsters similar to a zombie and the characters' views are skewed from the harsh world.

The issue with this kind of story, and why it worked for something like The Walking Dead, is that they remind you that "humans are the real monsters". But in this manga, it's not painted that way. From the get-go, it's painted as "men aren't the only problems, women are, too!" And yes, it's obvious both men and women have issues. It's not rocket science. The problem here is how the story tries to put the blame on either gender constantly and presents them as equal problems with shitty examples. I just wanted to read the absurdity that is their world, not have the author weirdly connect political issues with genders, and not even in an entertaining nor fitting manner into the story. I go on deeper in the character section but do take note of this part.
Now, if you think that "Oh, maybe it's still a fun-bad kind of manga." or "At least it might do something interesting"; it does not. The manga still follows tropes and ends without solving or explaining anything. Plot points happen, the characters accept it after a few panels without ever questioning anything, and then the story progresses.

The 2 points given are for one; the start of the manga, and two, it's AT LEAST not completely boring. Nevertheless, these things do not explain nor justify many plot holes the story just dusts off.
But really, anything can be considered not boring if done crazily enough, so it's not much to ask or really considered a positive.


Characters: 1
The protagonist is somewhat interesting, but then as you read, he's revered as a God or like the rest; a monster. In their world, it naturally fits, and he doesn't care as long as he finds his loved one. It's a bit annoying of a trope that the protagonist and kind of hilarious that in the first chapter, they mention him as being a prodigy child with a 200 IQ, people being jealous of him, etc. Nevertheless, I find him to be the only redeemable character. He killed rapists and despises them so much so, he has the trauma of ever touching another girl, finding sex appalling.
The other characters are overly reliant on the protagonist, treating him as the savior. I can see how one of the characters treats him like the potential cure or at least some kind of fix to their situation, the other women are written as if they're clinging onto him as if he is the only one that could defend them, as a strong alpha male, pretty much. Even so, the problem isn't how he is as a personality. He as a character being special feels natural in such a horrid world, being the only male. The problem is how most of the women are written that come around him.

They are written like lunatics, they have no brains or can't think for themselves. I believe in desperation in such a world, but holy crap is the author trying to send some kind of message. A few examples I'd like to give: The protagonist doesn't want to have sex, he finds it disgusting since he'd compare himself to the rapists. Yet in their world, the women there completely disregard that, having naked girls to take his semen. Hm, a guy that doesn't want to have sex, and a woman that needs his semen. I'm not a scientist, but I think something called "masturbation" exists!
A better example is an old lady who talks about her husband as a cheater, a heavy drinker that went on rampages. Then, the old lady said that there would be many inconveniences in her life when men disappeared, examples such as carrying bags, fixing the house, and exterminating vermin that spoil crops, that "perhaps, women were also taking advantage of men". The author, not character-driven, is trying to write that the guy that went on rampages drinking at night and cheating on their spouses, is at the same level of taking advantage of carrying a goddamned bag and fixing a house.
But that's just the cream of the crop. Other girls and women here are written so stupidly, you'd think it was reflected in the author's incapability as well. The manga has the typical crazy yandere girl that's pretending to be meek, only to be batshit insane and doesn't mind people dying and sacrificing others, hinted by the other characters that she might be crazy, and the women around the protagonist don't do anything about it. It feels like the manga's message is "Men might r*pe you, but you wouldn't be able to do anything without them".

As you continue to read, the protagonist somehow actually befits the role of a God in their world or at least a useful person. In actuality, it's because of how the women are written as insane people, making him naturally look normal. There are zero likable characters, as in the end they'd get killed and soon forgotten, or are just horrible people that you just can't relate to nor enjoy reading about.
The manga tries to make you feel bad for him due to the women's actions doing horrible things to him and "men", and the supposed irony from it. But every time, I rolled my eyes, thinking that "is that really how authors see women?" and "is this really the only solution the author could come up with/give for the characters?"

While I wouldn't want to connect a fictional world to the real one, you can see how the author isn't even trying to be subtle. They are either trying to push a sick agenda, or write badly written characters and stories for the shock factor. That's another thing I didn't go much into, how much the manga constantly uses shock factors, for example, likable characters' deaths. You quickly just feel numb to the absurdity, and does not help either that the author just does it haphazardly; even killing off actually interesting characters.

To summarize; The only positive is the protagonist as he's somewhat redeemable and useful. The other characters are written as pathetically as possible for a weird, twisted view of men and women, almost nothing of what they do make sense, and

Art: 6.5
It's edgy and gruesome, and while does sometimes go over the top, the artstyle still has neatly done - as in the artstyle doesn't deviate, feel muddled or change at random. There's nothing much to say about it, as the art does not save/justify the rest of the manga.


Overall: 1
I really tried to look at this manga's perspective as non-biased as I could. But how could you not? This author is probably one of the worst writers in manga, writing the same clichés and edginess, presenting them as story or character writing. But it's not just the author writing the same ideas as the story already told, but makes it so much worse.

It's a manga perfect for incels, nuff said. If you want to just read out of entertainment with how stupid everything is written; especially the characters, you might enjoy this. But don't take any personal messages back to the real world.

A serial killer with 200 IQ get sentenced to the gallow then isekai'd in parallel world hoping to find his dead kanojo that's been graped and murdered in previous world. First, what a shameful display, MC boasting about how people are jealous of him because he's a genius but failed to get higher score than Ted Bundy (136 IQ). Granted he's probably not a psychopath, but his motives are enough to murder 15 people only to fail, skill issue tbh.

I don't know much about science but in this manga apparently a solar flare strikes the earth and wiping all the Y chromosomes from all Mens ... turning them into a state of psychosis becoming deranged and in a constant hunt for Y chromosomes, fulfilling the Feminist's ideal apocalypse world fantasy by raping killing and cannibalizing womens, instead of slowly dying of Alzheimer or any other disease. Yeah.

Even in the harsh world settings MC swore voluntary celibacy because of the trauma of his dead kanojo thus denying the mankind survival by refusing to become a sperm donor for his hot Sensei, while broken down crying "I Hate Mens". Very emotional 200 IQ guy, Maybe Author wanted to pander to certain demographics so they can self insert into mindlessly killing mens with no remorse as greenlighted by the plot, but that doesn't seem to work now does it lmao.

TLDR: this is just a twist of World's End Harem but with senseless killing while keeping the same soyboy MC. Art is ok, horrible writing, ineffective shock value, no impact gore and most importantly i can't self insert as a gay MC like this.

The story is very bad, more precisely the nature of the main character is very problematic in its application in the story, I will explain at the beginning of the story or prologue the main character named Satoru is described as a smart student with an IQ of 200 but I don't see the intelligence of Satoru after reading this manga until Chapter 11, in fact from what is told Satoru thinks irrationally and is easily emotional. In fact, my expectations about the main character in this story are smart, rational thinking and able to solve bad situations in this story, and can think ahead ... to solve problems or save the world which is on the verge of destruction in this story, although in the process the main character's main priority is to save his girlfriend. I think this is where the main problem lies why this manga gets bad marks from readers. From what I have observed, this main character not only loses his intelligence in the reincarnation process but also loses his main role in the story of this manga, the reason is that Satoru is a non-dominant character in the story, it looks like a supporting role. Another odd detail in this story in Chapter 10 where Satoru suddenly becomes very strong (over power) can defeat many giant zombies because he is annoyed and angry knowing that his girlfriend is dead, while the one he is fighting is a giant zombie which is clearly impossible, and the reader is not given an explanation of where the power comes from. How can you get superpowers just by using anger?!. My conclusion is disappointed with the story of this manga, even though my expectation so far was that the manga would have a better and more complex story than mahwa (Korean comics) and manhua (Chinese comics) but it turned out not to be true. If you are looking for a story with an apocalypse theme, there are many better stories in mahwa and manhua in several titles that I have read. What is true is that there are some shortcomings in mahwa and manhua in terms of character illustration depictions that cannot be as vulgar as in manga because of several regulations in the place where the comic is published, such as in China and Korea where content containing sexual elements is very limited, unlike in Japan which is quite free.
