Preliminary (38/44 chp)
I first picked up Migi to Dali after I saw this manga would receive an anime adaptation.

That being said, I would like to begin with an excerpt from the manga at the start of Vol. 6 that explains the story a little more in detail for those whom are interested (if you are not please skip this part!), since I felt like for me the summary wasn't able to fully grab my attention, please be advised it could be spoiler or not depending on how you take it:

Migi to Dali is a story "that takes place in 1990 within the Newtown Oregon village located in the northern district of Kobe city. [The] twin brothers, Migi and Dali, assume the identity of a single boy named 'Hitori Sonoyama' as they enter the village. The reason why they've done so is to seek and exact revenge on their Mother's murderer."

To begin with, the first thoughts that ever came to mind as I started where "Bizzare," and "creepy." And this is exactly what the story is like, everything is just so bizarre and eerily creepy that it gives me goosebumps! Of course, as the story progresses....things only get more disturbing! This story is definitely for those who enjoy mystery and thrillers.

The story is intriguing, the mystery of it all was done well by the author in my opinion. At some points, as I read, things got a bit confusing but I blame that it on the way it was story boarded. However, the art is gorgeously done! And the way it is done does a very good job of adding to the effect of the hair-rising atmosphere it has going on. This is especially true with the time period this is based on as well.

In terms of characters, I find them all to be great. Not to be biased because I like the story, but really because almost all of the characters are just strange and their actions are weird but justifyingly so. For example, the twins Dali and Migi, the way the act is super strange and weird, but it's because due to their circumstances while growing up they didn't have an environment in which they could adequately learn certain things. In the story we always witness them learning certain things, that to is just common sense. However, to them everything is a whole new world, which is interesting in the way they are able to adapt relatively fast and are able to work around stuff in order to solve the mystery.

All in all, this all I can really think about in regards to Migi and Dali. This is a story that I do recommend people to pick up and just give it a try, before you know it, you will also be eager in trying to figure out the mystery of just what the hell is happening in this small town and what secret it's trying to hide. Although, I didn't give it a score higher than 7, I genuinely enjoyed this manga and all it had to offer so I look forward to the anime!
