Almost achieved greatness

by WorldDemocrat

Rating: 6.5 / 10.0

Hmm, I can't help but think this series didn't live up to its potential. The characters' feelings are drawn vividly, the dialogue is interesting, everyone is pouring out their feelings and ideas about life and death. The premise of a 'killer who hunts other killers, and is training a killer to kill himself' is interesting. It reminds me of a certain other manga. So I thought, okay, this series is going to be excellent.

Unfortunately, these characters didn't get the chance to spread their wings. Most of the manga is quick vignettes of them hunting different killers, which is fine, but these get repetitive and the only connecting plot thread is the 'unique' relationship between her and her sensei... which doesn't advance or change very much. Valuable time is also wasted on filler content like a pointless 'training' arc. So after eight volumes it feels like the story is only just beginning to warm up. It's far away from any kind of emotional climax. Then, out of nowhere, comes the abrupt and anticlimactic ending.

You get the sense the story was not planned out properly. Too bad. For just a moment, I felt like it touched greatness. Then it fell back to earth.

Shounen that desperately tries to be seinen, and manages to be a low effort, edgy shoujo

No redeeming qualities in this one. It's pointlessly edgy, the premise of "killer that only kills other killers" is a desperate bid to portray the murderer protagonist as at worst morally dubious. None of characters feel human, and it's not because they're sociopaths/psychopaths, but because they have no actual character development or any depth - what you see is what you get, with no nuance whatsoever.

Female protagonist has no survival instincts, lets herself be led by the nose by (at least) 2 serial murderers. Male lead is very touchy with her in public and even worse in private, which none of feMC find creepy despite her being a schoolgirl and him being her teacher.

The gory bits are short, unfulfilling and pointlessly cruel. There's a certain sublime art in properly drawing gore, it has to be sticky and visceral, but here it's just... flat for lack of better words. It's like you'd give a prompt to a language model. There's just a lot of blood and skewered bodies and it's obvious that mangaka has no sense of scale when it comes to body counts in murder mysteries. If there's a tag for unrealistic fighting, then there should be one for unrealistic violence.

I claim it's an edgy shoujo, because by the time I dropped it, it had two creepy serial killers with almost the same personalities, competing for feMC's attention and being very touchy with her. It's obvious that the concept of "first murder" that is thrown around feMC is an allegory to being deflowered, but it's as subtle as a brick through a window.

All in all, it reads more like a power fantasy wish fulfillment than an actual murder mystery/drama. A low IQ slasher for a low IQ reader.
