That being said i'll move on~
I love supernatural, action, shounen-ish stuff a lot. But I also really enjoy mystery and psychological reads as well. For some reason I was hoping to find a little of both worlds in this manga. So far i'm not impressed. Note: I did read the one shot before starting the series.
(Art) The quality of art in a manga is not something I would typically consider when rating. (unless it was downright awful) But if I were to rate the artwork I would give it a 9. It looked clean and well done. The monsters were very detailed and interesting to look at.
(Story)(6) Im gonna start by saying, this story has a lot of potential. The storyline is good and the ideas are interesting, but the author, in my humble opinion, isn't doing an awesome job with it... But like I said. Im only on chapter 3! So I'll give it a 6 being that its still early in the story for me. 3 chapters in and i'm not clear on what the monsters are, where they came from, or how they came to be. I can barley tell the setting that the story is taking place in. And I know little to nothing about any of the characters. I feel like the author has skipped the first few chapter and that this story doesn't have a very solid foundation.
(Characters)(5) Oh my gosh. The two main protagonist of this story, are grading on my nerves. Its unusual for me to not like a male main character but I feel very little affection or attachment to Haiji. He is very hard to relate to, has close to no emotion, and seem to have omnipotent intellect and power right off the bat. What makes a good character? In my opinion, its the flaws. Some people reading this might think; but he does have flaws! Ok, but of his flaws, which can you relate to? If he's a genius, can easily master great power and succeed at anything he wants to with ease. Then to me, he's boring. Another character that comes to mind when I think of Haiji is Jio Freed. Similar in a lot of ways but very different. Jio is a great character.
Now for the second protagonist Torioji. Not much to say about her... She's dull, boring and predictable. A flat character who's only purpose that I see is to be the foil character for Haiji. Oh, and apparently giving that 1% of inspiration to Haiji.
I would write about the main antagonist but so far I dont really know enough about him to form an opinion.
This manga has potential and I hope it doesn't crash and burn. I don't like being negative like this but this is just my honest opinion.
