ByeByeBye starts of as an weird murder mystery folllowing two elementary school children, but it ends as a whole bunch of nothing.

Firstly the characters, the two main leads Taishi and Ema are likable enough and Ema starts as a very mysterious character, but her whole character turns flat by the end of the series. All other characters are as 2 dimensional as they get. They are nothing more than a means to progres the plot and even that is executed poorly.

Secondly the story, which is a whole bunch of nothing. The main mystery get's revealed halfway through the series in a very anti-climactic ... way and the chapters afterwards feel like they have no goal and lack any form of substance. The first few chapters are pretty good, but looking back with the after the later chapters they just feel pointless.

Finally the art, it sucks. It isn't terrible, but you can't name it good either. The art style does not acompany the tone of the series and it makes the character designs very bland and uninteresting. Backgrounds are generally very basic and uninteresting.

Basically the only reason to read this is to see what not to do with a mystery series. The first half of the series is decent and gets a 6 and the second half gets an four so a 5. If the premise interests you, just go read Takopi's original Sin as this is basically Takopi at home.
