I consider 13 chapters a good enough benchmark to warrant a review. Especially for a manga like 'Maria no Danzai', which I assume would finish within 35-40 chapters at most.
The question is: Does the series live up to the somewhat high expectations of an avenging mother on her merciless SAW-inspired journey?
Definitely. In fact, the mangaka has surpassed my expectations with a nice balance of devilish scheming, gore/violence, and decent plot building.
While the bait of the sexy/alluring female lead was planted early on, it hasn't been TOO overused to cheapen the plot - except two notable moments. This was my main worry, as I dig

Here I am, up to date with this little surprise. And I think I'm in a position to write a modest review of this manga.
First of all, in view of what I'd seen and heard, I was apprehensive about reading this work. I told myself that I was going to waste my time and that this manga would be as bad and execrable as the horrible Juujika No Rokunin (yes, I'm salty, and IDGAF!). Nevertheless, I was surprised by the writing and the care taken here by the 2 authors. So, yes, there are a lot of similarities with Juujika. However, I found Maria No Danzai ...

This manga has it all - an unpredictable and interesting plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat with each chapter, a well-developed mature maria with her unique realistic reactions to situations, and an unexpected twist that will have you questioning everything. It's not just a typical revenge story, but rather a tale of judgment that delves deep into the psychology of the main character. The character design is also top-notch and adds to the overall appeal of the series. If you're a fan of Death Note, you'll love this manga. It's time for an anime adaptation to bring this incredible story to

As someone who has caught up to chapter 17, I feel that's enough to write a review. The story is pretty engaging, showing the lengths of what a grieving mother would go through to get revenge. Revenge stories like these will always keep people on the fence due to the philosophy of "eye for an eye" vs "revenge isn't fulfilling in the long run." I'm personally a sucker for well written psychological thriller stories, whether it has to do with revenge or not. This story ticks the box for me in terms of enjoyment.
