A flawed masterpiece is what Ana Satsujin is.

The emotional depth of this manga is what really gets you hooked. Our typical loser main character falls in love with a serial killer, and he's on the freaking list. Her murder list. What really makes the manga is the relationship between the two main characters. They have a true, loving relationship, but on top of that, it's fleeting and ultimately meaningless, which makes for such a strange yet captivating dynamic. The manga's pretty diverse in what it shows to you, you get baseball-game dates, speed dating rounds and moments of emotional vulnerability, but all with this abnormal ... twist to them.

The other characters are okay, Sakaki is probably my favorite among them, he's an insane doctor who can modify people's bodies. The best thing about this manga is how frequently it changes the tone and setting, it's pretty unpredictable and constantly keeps you guessing. I would describe it as a 'Slice of Life' type of story of two mentally damaged individuals. This is just the type of story you can look back at and it still makes you start to brood.

I'm praising this manga to the skies, yet my rating is only a 7, why is that? There's a particular point where the manga should have concluded, and if it had ended there, it would've been a 9 or a 10. But the story grinds to a halt after that aforementioned point, and the writer writes dead characters back in so the story doesn't collapse in on itself. The story just drops in quality.

Let's get to it:

This manga was fairly good for the first half.

A mysterious sexy broad with a loser who no one cares about, typical combination.

You get a good mix of comedy mixed with gore and sex for the first half. After about chapter 75 the manga goes so far down hill I almost dropped it. The ending was the worst I had ever seen and would recommend the first half up to the point she (spoiler) says she won't kill anyone anymore.

The manga was dope till the second half, then turned shittier than a dung beetle at Thanksgiving.

I'm gone

Story Score: 3. I was tricked. This manga tricks you with an somewhat interesting twist of the main girl being a serial killer and the protagonist falling in love with her and they make a deal for her to kill him. With small little twists and turns to make you curious but at that point you might as well just look up the ending. The story is so badly paced with dumb moments constantly and lame enough writing to entertain you when you were going through your emo existentialism phase back in middle school. With lame lines that are supposed to ... sound profound or cool just came off as lame or silly. On top of the lame plot points the mangaka also seemed to get tired pretty fast because they just rush the story to the ending and right when you think things might get different and there's a change of pace it falls back right into the same dumb moments that make almost no sense. I ended up rushing the last 30 chapters just so I can finally finish it

**SPOILERS** The ending is also the worst thing I think I've ever read too its so dumb and makes almost no sense whatsoever and what makes it worse is it is dumped on you last minute as a "twist" but at that point no one cares. If it wasn't for the dumb ending this would've gotten a somewhat higher score of maybe 5

Art Score 6: The art isn't bad but there definitely something off about the style and there is some odd moments where the bodies are all contorted. The manga also has a very generic look to it and some characters are okay designed but you're not missing out much here

Character Score 6: Okay so this manga does have very unique characters and refreshing twists. BUT the part that they fall short is there is little to no development to them and it seems like some characters are made just to show up and be boring plot points to nothing.

Enjoyment Score 3: Its not even worth the ride. Read this if youre truly out of better things in your life to do. Read the first few chapters and find a synopsis to spoil the rest if you cant find one just dm me I'll help you out.

Overall Score 4: I'm being very nice with this score everything up till the end is okay but overall not worth the time.
