Every country has it's own urban legends stories which are talking about haunted places, wierd creatures and other similar stuff but all of them have the similarity that they are nothing more than stories whose porpouse is to entertain or scare it's reader.But what if they were real that's what Urasekai picnic explores.Before I start the review I have to say that since it's ongoing the score probably will change but now lt's start. The premise is pretty simple two college students meet while both of them were to that place or to be more accurate to the ''other side'' both of them for their own reasons after that they end up becoming friends and start to explore the ''other side'' togerther. IN my opinion one of the best things of Urasekai picnic is it's writing it has a simple yet intreasting premise and it showing us as much of it's potential it can.The writing isn't lazy and it always has it's way to keep you intreasted. Another strong point of urasekai picnic is the worldbuilding while the manga progress we understand that the ''other side'' is not a place created for humans because both of it's residents and it's enviroment it's a great way make you understand that our protagonists are in a dangerous situation as for the urban legends while they aren't very different from their original ones they have the characteristics which make them different last but not least it knows how to balance the mood it knows when it needs to be dark and when it needs to be more calm.The art is really good and it makes you understand what each scence represents also there are scences where are really dark and the art helps you feel that. As for the characters both of them are enjoyable and likeable and while they have really different personalities their chemistry is awsome both of them have a characteristic which helps them to survive. Sorao has knowledge about urban legends which help them understand the situation they are and what they will face and Toriko is good with guns which help them to protect themselfs. Urasekai picnic is the manga which I am witing more for new chapters to release. The plot is well execused it knows how to keeps you hooked and if it continue like this it has potential to become a great manga and it deserves it since you can see that it's author have put effort to his work I can't wait for the anime adaptation and I hope that it will be as good as the manga . 9/10
