Synopsis

Upon witnessing a man's head cracked open with an axe, 16-year-old Yuri Honjou trembles in fear and confusion as she flees from the masked assailant, only to find out she is trapped in an abandoned building where every door is mysteriously locked. Desperately searching for a way out, Yuri runs to the rooftop, but a world with no signs of life stands before her, surrounded by high-rise buildings. Though filled with despair, once she learns that her brother is also in this strange place, Yuri is determined to find him and escape.

However, she soon finds that there are more masked murderers in the area, anxious to terrorize their newfound victims and satiate their sickest desires, leaving Yuri to question if they will be able to make it out alive.

I love this manga but by god when it gets bad it gets really bad, I mean really really bad. Especially near the ending, the writing just goes down hill at Mack 5 speed and doesn't really come up again. But don't let that discourage you from reading this manga, because it's actually pretty good for the first 180-200 chapters. After that it's just fucking ridiculous, but it's the fun kind where the writing keeps getting dumber and shittier but the enjoyment and fun keeps rising, all the way to the ending.

Now for any respectable manga you got to have some interesting an well ...

Mixed Feelings

Paces out the unraveling of the world's mystery very well for most of the series. Seems like they had fun coming up with abilities for characters as the plot needed them. That was interesting to watch unfold. Final reveal of the structure of this universe was personally underwhelming, and the tidying up of the plot in the final & epilogue chapters may make readers go "Huh? What? Why?"

Overall, it's fine, and while the portioning out of plot unveils definitely kept me reading, nothing felt dire or strongly engaging. There are just too many characters for a reader to be believably relatable, but it was ...

To be honest, I only read this because I thought Sniper Mask was attractive (and he is LOL the manga does not disappoint on that). I have mixed feelings about this manga. It's very gory and violent from the very first chapter, with people committing suicide by jumping off high-rises and exploding on impact. However, the shock factor gets old after the 10th person dies in the very exact way by like chapter 7. However, the chapters are short and easy to read, so I kept reading.

I think the story is actually interesting from chapters 1 to 150. The world-building is cool, the characters are ... interesting, and the concept of masked people programmed to kill people by making them commit suicide is novel. The main character Yuri and her best friend Nise have a really natural and well-developed relationship, and it's cool to see two strong female leads. Best of all, Sniper Mask has some really cool scenes (<3).

When I read manga, I seem to be possessed by some kind of speed-reading manga ghost and I obsessively read until I finish the manga (which ranges from a few hours to a few days). Although I kept up the same pace I do with most mangas, by chapter 150, I felt this urge to drop it. It wasn't really fun to read anymore. Once they defeat the Big Bad, there's still about 70 chapters to go making me wonder how the mangaka was going to conclude it well. He doesn't. The previously set rules of the world just go out the window, and it feels like the mangaka was just adding random stuff whenever he liked. The main character suddenly becomes super OP and fights "God," people start developing random powers, and the concept of the masks just doesn't make sense anymore. There were so many moments where I had to stop reading and say "There is no way this is really happening right now..." I dropped it for about two weeks but came back because I felt the strong urge to find out what happened, and honestly I wish I just stopped reading around chapter 150. They end up defeating the Bigger Bad with their new random OP powers and nothing gets resolved. No overarching questions end up getting answered, they willingly decide to in the same world they were trying to escape from for the past 230 chapters, and that's it. That's how it ends.

It's unsatisfying and really disappointing to read, but I don't want to rate it any lower because it really is fun and interesting and thrilling to read for a large portion of the manga. It's just the rushed conclusion that ruins the whole manga.

I don't think that I'd recommend it to any of my friends, but maybe I'd tell them to stop once they defeat Big Bad and not continue onwards for their sanity.
