Preliminary

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS

Well, this is my first review on MyAnimeList, so I decided to make a pretty positive review for a franchise I adore.

First of all, before I talk about what MyAnimeList made me rate (Story; Art; Characters, etc...) I took the time to say; One of Media Factory's many monthly comics, Monthly Comic Gene, is said to be shōnen manga for girls. So if one of the characters eats a fruit and becomes a rubber man, I'd be cool, whatever (even though shōnen battle manga isn't my thing, not so sure which direction the novel and manga are going to)

Story:

I'd say it's good, read more

Preliminary

EDIT: This manga is the sequel to the Kagerou Project songs and prequel to the Novels and Anime.

Kagerou Daze is a manga route of Jin (Shizen no Teki-P)'s series "Kagerou Project". It's written by Jin and illustrated by Mahiro Satou.

STORY: 7/10
Kagerou Daze is the story set mostly on August 14th and 15th and is centered around the Mekakushi Dan, a gang of teenagers with strange eye abilities, the Kagerou Daze, and timeloops.

I would like to note Jin has stated the manga is not intended to be an adaption of the light novel, but another timeline in the series. According to his placement, this route is read more

Preliminary

I always find it creative when mangakas find their different ways of tying a lot of different people in together in realistic ways, well of course it wasn't all that realistic, but you still find yourself amazed when you begin to peace everything together as you go along. This review is only for like the first 15 chapters that are there so far and I can't even explain how hard it is to judge it off of that, but I'll give it a try.

Story 8
I give the story a 8 because it hasn't all been released for me to really piece everything together, but even without the pieces everything is so well put together that you can still rate it high. I don't read much seinen so I can't really tell you how unique it is, but I think the story definitely has the ability to draw you in. The main character that it follows is a neet named Shintarou who's been shacked up in the house for two whole years. He has a relatively bad attitude and he's a weakling who still has a backbone. So far the reason why he has isn't in the manga, but if you look up the songs that the stories based off of you'll definitely know, but I won't spoil it ^_^. Somewhere between the two years he stays in the house a girl named Ene invades his computer and terrorizes him and ends up making him have to go outside and from there the story begins on a humorous path and a very confusing one. To my knowledge the group that forms between the main character all have an eye ability and it hasn't yet clearly been shown why.

characters 8
I actually like the characters with Kano being one of the most interesting to me. His ability makes it hard to understand his true nature, but overall he's the humor of the manga. You'll definitely find that a lot of character have pasts that aren't so favorable and heart warming, but it reflects on who they are and how they deal with situations. I can't really judge the dimension of the characters cause the whole having special abilities thing throws off any realism it can have in my head, but I think that they've got depth and that's well done.

art 8
I like the art and it fits the story it's telling very well, but I actually think I'd might like it better in the anime because the only thing I don't like is all the black haired people kinda look the same with the exception of Shintarou since he has dark outlines around his eyes. I like how their clothes are designed especially Kido's jacket so I think that's especially something good about it. There really isn't much shadin or any realistic characteristics or detail out into their faces, but I don't think it'd match the story well if they did.

Enjoyment 9
I really have fun reading it and I love when a story can make me laugh literally out loud and I think it's something that any audience would be able to enjoy, but everyone is different and has their different outlooks on enjoyment and humor and such so how much you enjoy it really depends on you and what you like.

Overall 8
and I must remind you this is only like the first fifteen chapters but I found it necessary for it to have a reasonable review that actually gives you the story properly and after a while if I change my mind about how I feel, I'll come back and change it, but so far I give it a 8.5 for awesomeness and I really suggest you look up the songs because the songs just make it ten times better for me. If you can't find any try Jin or IA transparent answer and it is sung by a vocaloid just a heads up.
