Funouhan is a really interesting manga. I did at times feel as though the manga was a bit shallow because of its repetitive plot but overall it's an amazing manga. If you love psychological mangas then you will love this 100%.

The artwork is amazing. I first initially started the manga because of its unique art cover and fell more in love when I saw the beautiful drawing.

The characters change frequently except for Usobuki (main) and a detective that is crazy about Uso. Usobuki's character is very mysterious. There is nothing said about his background and childhood and the detective also has a very interesting persona.

Overall, ... I absolutely love this manga. Please if you have time, read this manga! It will change your life!

It's basically a better Hell Girl (Jigoku Shoujo). If you liked Hell Girl you can just stop reading this review right now and go read Funouhan, because you will definitely like it.

As it's episodic, characters don't need to be fleshed out too much. Aside from Usobuki, there is one other detective character that persists between chapters, but he's hardly fleshed out at all. There isn't much actual character depth in this series. it's basically all about Usobuki and his very mysterious character.

All the females are drawn the same way. The art is amazing and very atmospheric, but the women have some serious sameface. I'm just ... glad none of them persist between chapters or else I'd get confused really fast.

At first, the manga starts off with actually clever outcomes, but it very quickly slogs off and stops being clever just for the sake of telling the story of whoever is the focus of the current chapter. It was very disappointing and it's easily why I voted the overall manga a 7 instead of an 8 or even a 9. The whole draw of the first chapter was the interesting and clever outcome Usobuki plotted for someone, but after that it basically just turns into unoriginal hypnosis. Literally vampire eyes.

All-in-all, it's a fun manga to read. Usobuki is a fun, carefree homicidal character who prefers having fun with people rather than getting muddy in morality and what's right or wrong. There's really not much to explain about the good aspects, it's a simple story with ironic, funny (usually in a dark humor way than not) outcomes for the people short-sighted enough to ask Usobuki to kill someone for them. It's a pretty addicting manga.

Not recommended sure the idea seems interesting but after like 5-10-15 chapters it gets insanely repetitive. At first it seems fresh but it just gets so repetitive and predictable i guessed what will happen every single time even tho not in detail i knew how it will end and honestly its boring. Its like listening to the same beat with different lyrics non stop and the lyrics barely even change.

I hoped for some bigger twists but this whole time it just had 1 predictable twist. I tried to make myself believe its gonna be something different next chapter but no ending was always the ... same with the same overused "twist"

If you want to read something that will keep repeating itself with different characters and situations but same idea, feeling and outcome its for you but otherwise stay away because first few chapters will feel fresh then youll notice that youre reading same thing over and over and over again
