To me Mirai Nikki is a truly unique manga. It's the only work of fiction that I've come across that somehow manages to be "so bad it's good" while also being damn good! Sometimes it comes of as so silly that I laugh at it, but still I find myself genuinely interested in what will happen next. I don't know how it manages to pull this off, usually when I laugh at how a plot twist or element is stupid (in some other manga) I would begin to feel that the entire manga is stupid and bad. But not with Mirai Nikki! This paradoxical quality intrigues me. But maybe I'm alone in feeling like this towards this manga.

The story of this manga is at times really clever and complicated. The concept for the story is good and the manga has a lot of cliffhangers and unsolved mysteries so you'll easily get hooked. The pacing is mostly good, but some random scenes can be a bit slow. While the plot as a whole is thought out, sometimes it honestly makes no sense and some scenes just feel fail and silly. Still this is part of its charm.

The art is okay. It's pretty standard "nothing special"-manga style and it does what it's supposed to. Some expressions can be a bit over the top but for most of the time it works.

Some of the characters here are truly great, but the vast majority of them are pretty boring and forgettable. However Mirai Nikki has the most Yandere Yandere ever! And she is awesome! She alone is reason enough to read this manga.

Overall I found this manga very enjoyable. But sometimes it was enjoyable because of the wrong reasons. So even tough I enjoyed it I don't consider it to be a truly great manga. It's no masterpiece or work of art but it'll keep you entertained and I recommend reading it. :)
