Preliminary (12/70 chp)
Colorless is by no means the first to employ the use of color in a black and white manga (one other example I can think of is "majo-senpai nippou", if you like this concept). But it is the first one that I know where color is such a major part of the world mechanics and story. It's used in a very creative way and it looks absolutely stunning. And while still talking about the art, the manga is very gritty and dirty, it matches the world it tries do depict, like a dorohedoro kind of vibe.

I dont want to talk much about the story while only on 10 chapters, I think it would be unfair. But I like the foundation it is laying and where it's heading.
The police and cult aren't the simple evil bad guys, there's a whole complex structure of power being constructed and that's never bad.
The main character being the kind of noir Privite Investigator and the "heroine" having amnesia are pretty good at exposure without feeling forced.

This is the first review in this site, and I hope this manga gets the recognition it deserves. I especially want to see it get an anime adaptation, it would be sick to watch modern black and white anime with the occasional color.

(The author thought the world used to be back and white due to tv when he was young, and I find that very cute)
