Synopsis

One day, ordinary high school student Kogami Kii finds himself caught up in a strange kind of zombie apocalypse, involving 'magic girls.' While idly looking out of the school window, Kii sees what looks like a little girl hitting a teacher, causing his head to explode violently. Convinced he's dreaming, he goes to the restroom to get his act together.

Unfortunately, its not a dream, and he arrives to find the creepy little girl repeatedly saying "magical" as she slaughters his friends and classmates. Soon, Kii and his childhood friend—a quiet, often-bullied girl called Tsukune—are witness to the resurrection of their friends' corpses into a zombie-like murderous mob crying the single word "magical." Now Kii and Tsukune must try to endure with the other survivors, and try to find out what has happened to their world.

Honestly, I was hesitant with some aspects of the book.. but once I carried on, I was hooked. I absolutely loved the plot of the book and wouldn’t mind binge watching an animated version! To be clear though, I had many reservations. It’s hard to get past the conduct of some characters—making them difficult to cheer for. I find myself having grown an attachment for every character still, and it’s not like people/humans are perfect, so I don’t want to insinuate that keeping things PC is correct. Just commenting on it because it’s better the reader goes in knowing that this can be very perverse ...

Mixed Feelings

manga que va de más a menos claramente. La premisa inicial es muy buena y los diseños de las mahou shoujo siniestras es muy original y resulta divertido esa mezcla con un género zombie-gore que le quedo muy bien. El problema es cuando se acaba el género supervivencia y deriva a un elemento fantástico resulta muy confuso y creo que el desarrollo se le notó demasiado improvisado y sin tener una idea clara de como concluirlo...
Aún con todo, me ha resultado divertido de leer y me lo he acabado. Pese a haber momentos con plot twist y alianzas absurdas si me dio curiosidad por donde ...

I honestly have no idea why I read this entire manga. I suppose I got sucked into the initial premise, which was interesting, and then by the time I was fairly invested in it, it started to really grate on my nerves and I finished it out of spite.
The premise of killer lolita/magical girl robots (?) was interesting, I must admit. The gore was very over-the-top, so if you have a weak stomach, I wouldn't recommend this manga.
The story starts off leading you to believe it will revolve around the survival of the characters during the Magical Girl Apocalypse, but it actually gets ... quite a bit more complicated as time goes on. By the end of the story, it's downright ridiculous. New plot threads and characters are thrown in consistently, and it was a bit difficult to keep track of who was who and what their part was in the overall story which became increasingly convoluted as time went on.

However, the biggest drawback to the entire manga was not the story, but the characters. None of the characters had any unique personalities, interesting backstories, or character development. Even the main character (Kogami Kii) had no traits that I can name off the top of my head that made him stand out.

This manga also has the inclusion of one of THE MOST unlikeable characters I have ever seen in a manga. Specifically, Akuta Rintarou. His entire personality (if you can even call it that) revolves around being a disgusting pervert the entire time. All he does is lust after high school girls, specifically Yoruka Hanzawa whom he calls "Lil' Miss Funbags" in reference to her gigantic knockers. He literally spends the entire manga doing nothing but trying to bang her, or masturbate. He's also a sociopath who literally cares for no-one and only steps up to defend Yoruka because if she's dead, how can he have sex with her? (Not that he's picky about having sex with a corpse.) I expected him to get killed off early on (in fact, I prayed for it to happen) only for him to play a central role in the plot and become some sort of hero later on, even though that goes against his whole "I don't care about anyone" schtick.
Pervert characters play a role in a lot of different manga, but they offset this with the inclusion of interesting backstories, and the fact that the pervert aspect of their personality doesn't define their entire character. Akuta fails in this respect because that literally defines everything about him. Caring for others? Nope. Being selfless? Nope. Forging any meaningful connections with other characters? Nope. Having some sort of goal beyond wanting to grope Yoruka's titties? Nope. He's a completely loathsome asshole with no redeeming qualities.

Over time, the story continued to become more and more ridiculous until it ended. It had a happy enough ending, for those of you who actually care about stuff like that.

Art-wise, it was good in some aspects, but terrible in others. The author has good attention to detail, especially when it comes to city-scapes and backgrounds. However, his art fails spectacularly in the anatomy department. Strange proportions, skewed faces, poor hand/feet anatomy... he should maybe practice drawing people a little more. The designs of the magical girls was also pretty creative, as well as the horrifying powers each one possessed.

Overall, this wasn't the WORST thing I've ever read. There was some interesting ideas here and there, but all of it was completely ruined by the lackluster characters.

3/10
