Let me be honest: I think Skeleton Double is great. I'm genuinely surprised by its low rating here on MAL. So as an attempt to combat it, I'll now try to convince you why you should read it and give it a good rating

Story: Probably the least impressive part of the whole thing, but interesting nonetheless. The skeleton and first few chapters might feel pretty basic, but, as te rest of Skeleton Double, it really feels grounded in reality of its fantasy world. I'll try to spoil as little as possible here, but there were no "why doesn't it work like this" It makes no ... sense, no person would do that" moments, often present in other mangas or anime. 8/10

Art: Art of Skeleton Double is pretty basic, but it carves its own niche in the manga landscape making it easily distinguishable from everything else. The action scenes are clear and comprehensive, characters look consistent, overall really well done. 8/10

Characters: I think this is where Skeleton Double shines the most. No character feels one-dimensional, they all behave as actual human beings would, with distinct motivations and reasoning for their action, which isn't really common in all the manga filled with fun but simple caricatures of human beings. 9/10

Enjoyment: This is probably the reason why Skeleton Double has a rating this low. Due to al the realism I described earlier, it really doesn't flow as fast as other stories, focused on more mindless fun. If you like the type of story it offers, then You'll love Skeleton Double, if you're in for a simple mindless action, then You will probably end up unpleasantly surprised. 9/10

Overall rating: I really love Skeleton Double. There aren't many stories like this, and if you're looking for something slower and more grounded while still being action-oriented, then this is the manga for you. If you just want fast action, I'd probably skip this one
