This is a manga with a pretty solid premise, and a lot of moments that are, in isolation, quite well-crafted, but overall kind of fails to develop its story interestingly or create any real weight in the story.
The biggest issue with this manga is the extremely heavy-handed short-term foreshadowing. Without fail, before some big event happens the mangaka will make sure to spend multiple pages beating you over the head with what's coming. As an example, there is one particular double-page spread in chapter 1, clearly written to be the biggest dramatic moment of the chapter (and could have been a great one) that is

Takopii no Genzai had a really intriguing premise.It's a series that contains many problems that our society is facing constantly, such as domestic violence,bullying and kids being overpressured by their parents.There were many shocking scenes and fucked up situations.Unfortunately the ending felt kinda rushed ,I think the manga should have been a little longer like an extra volume or so. If it wasn't for that I would give it a solid 7 or even an 8 who knows.
The art is pretty good ,I really enjoy the author's unique artstyle and the widespreads were fantastic. I extremely liked how the eyes were drawn, it is said ...

Takopii's Original Sin is a delightfully crude yet endearingly hopeful study on human empathy, and lack thereof. It cleverly blends whimsical, lighthearted fantastical elements typically seen in children manga with brutally mature themes and scenarios: it sometimes does feel like the most violent, darker elements are taken a little too far for the sake of shock value and spectacle, but for the most part the two halves manage to coexist harmoniously and complement each thanks to the story's emotional earnestness working as a strong connective tissue. The clashing of opposing themes also reflects the story's message: the clashing of people and their conflicts. Takopii's Original

I rated this a 7 but I think a 6.5/10 is more accurate. I liked the exploration of innocence and experience, naivete and trauma. I liked that each section had a clear stop and start point without it being too obvious so that jumping around from timeline to timeline didn't make the narrative too confusing or convoluted. It was also interesting watching the story explore the worst possible timeline, a middle ground, and the best possible timeline as well. It had a lot to say and I'm glad I read it.

Another bullying and abusing manga that reveals the true nature of humans when they get pushed to the edge , the story at some point didn't make any sense but after few chapters we got it and honestly I've no clue why the author tried to complicate it like that , well his plot twist didn't impact me that much for like I said we didn't get what's going on however this manga gives me mixed feelings like I hated all characters and I felt bad for em at same time , I guess the story not recommended to everyone it's a bit dark so
