Right away you'll notice the art is lazy. All of the backgrounds are seemingly photographed, digitized, and repeated over and over through the story. The characters emotions are portrayed nicely and the action is satisfying, but there is no real sense of an overarching world or society. Which is a problem when buildings are getting knocked down and you don't give a damn.
The characters start out promising, with their own desires, relationships and hardships. But once the sci-fi premise kicks in, all sense of character growth is eschewed in favor of plenty of gore and unreal circumstances. Basically, you'll stop caring about anything any of the characters say after about ch. 20, or even earlier.
The plot of this manga is beyond ridiculous- not only do we have to suspend our disbelief for the relationship between our two protagonists, but we also have to assume that the antagonists are all willing to go to the lengths they do against the people of Tokyo, without rhyme or reason. The manga also sees no reason to explain the ridiculous phenomena's happening throughout the story, or even dangle a hint of a mystery to keep us interested. We just have to assume that the world is batshit crazy and go along with it.
This isn't to say that enjoyment isn't to be had here- if you really want to see some kaiju vs giant woman action this manga will deliver. Just check your expectations if you want any type of human drama or comprehensible storyline.
