Story:
What a snooze fest. No, actually, it's worse than that. It's so linear and boring that I can't help but wonder what in the world the author was thinking when he outlined (IF he outlined) this story. Things just happen and you just accept it because reasons. Because publication. Because money. Because (insert ANYTHING other than /reason/ here.)
I mean, holy cow, dude. The author legitimately thinks you can write a main character who can do whatever he wants whenever he wants without any real foundation for doing so. I have to get into characters here before I even jump into the character segment because the

In Japan, many maniacs just need to be able to see them
no imagination, horror or unexpected turns Very stupid stories about not like everyone else, special, depressive, languid anime of a boy who wants to kill, but falls in love with the sacrifice. I do not like the representation of maniacs ... There are all morons except the protagonist. Dumb morons 1 story - with beer just 2 story is stupidity and Merry Sue, well, it will definitely not be worse, right? ... Jul 18, 2016

Art - Goth's art is simple but pleasing to look at. I quite enjoyed it and to me it's what carried the manga.
As for story, the premise seemed to be very strong right up until it was revealed their homeroom teacher was the hand killer. After that point the story well down a whole of cliché tropes and edginess, shit was corny. It's very unfortunate that this one didn't turn out to be good and a great teller was just some of the dialogue between characters, just very still and incohesive. character motivations were incredibly lacking as well. Just not very well written. Sucks. |
