Let me first say I had high hopes for this manga, because the art is truly beautiful, but sadly it falls into the category of horror mangas with great art and mediocre everything-else. It is enjoyable, but with that kind of art it could be great, and it's not.
Story: 4
The basic concept is actually alright, and it could be good. The problem is that after a while the manga is not about the story anymore, it's about the horror scenes. The pacing was kind of weird for me at times and the science of the whole thing is pretty silly, you can see it
...
doesn't work like that even if you're not a scientist. They also tried to connect the story with japanese mythology at some point, but that fell flat too. For me the way the story was used felt very silly, and I cringed at times. Also, what's with that ending?
Art: 9
This is the reason I kept reading this manga, the art is phenomenal. I don't need to say much about it, no problems there, top stuff.
Characters: 5
Did the characters make sense? No.
Did their motives make sense? Also no.
Munakata maybe I get, she's half crazy, in pain, half-insect, ok. The rest of the crew is plain weird, except maybe the protagonist's friends. This is typical of horror mangas, the characters just don't make sense, but usually they try to explain their philosophy. The manga is a short one however, so I understand that there was no space for that.
Enjoyment: 6-7
It was a fun read, and some scenes were breath-taking, if you want to kill some time it is a cool little horror manga.
Overall: 6
If you enjoy monsters, violence and horror this is a good choice. However, if you expect a structured story and good characters this is not it.
