a complete flub at the end

by tchu1988

The ending is complete bull** and throw majority of characters' development out the window. This is way worse than the author just walking away and keep it on permanent hiatus.

A true Masterwork

Flawless from beginning to end.

A true revenge story.

Akasaka didn't care and delivered peak. It's obvious he had this ending in mind from the very beginning.

Go re-read the very first chapters and there's clues everywhere.

A perfect 10/10

When the author is main enemy of his own story

by SuperOniichan

Rating: N/A

This manga was so good that even the terrible ending won't let you drop the overall rating below a 7-8. But this practically destroys the work and your motivation to care about it in any form. Aka Akasaka is truly a unique author who can kill an incredibly great work with his own hands to prove the opinion of haters about his story.

The first chapter got me seriously hooked like nothing in the past couple of years. But by the end it became increasinly frustrating and unsatisfying.

1/10 for the terrible upcoming ending. I have been follow the manga since day 1 and this is what I get for the ending. It is fair to say that I have been scammed by the first chapter promise.

It's nonsense.

by Orionthehunter

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

The premise is supposed to be about someone getting reincarnated to get justice on his killer. But then it's entirely dropped for the sake of spreading nonsense about the superficial entertainment industry. Like, if it portrayed it realistically, I could understand, but they just make it so cringe worthy.

I was expecting total cringe, but then I got an S-tier manga

by Yorda

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I thought I'd try the story. It sounded crazy to me, but the anime was coming out soon and I was curious. I was expecting total cringe, but then I got S-tier manga. I'm glad I lived to get another totally unexpected, unpredictable, and interesting story slamming me in the face.

The author has skillz with a 'z'. They took a crazy plot, genre that I don't like, and content that I don't understand, then they presented it in the most comprehensible and entertaining way possible to blow my mind. The nonsense plot was made plausible by talent.

The story hits hard. I thought it was was going to be more like some kind of weird comedy, but it turned out to be a dead serious story. It still has a superb sense of humor, but the part that I like the most is how the story wasn't meant to be a joke. The story the author is trying to tell is an S-tier story, S for seriously good.

The characters really shine in this manga. They have strong personalities and presence. The interesting point is that most of the supporting characters are dynamic and alive. They change with the story in a natural way. In average and good manga, most of the characters wouldn't be dynamic like this because it is difficult to evolve them. In those manga, only the lead characters would have the potential to be dynamic and have a strong presence.

The illustrations are really great too. The artist does an amazing job with the faces, expressions, eyes, and body language. Most of the time I don't notice these things in any manga, but this time I could feel and understand emotions from the illustrations. That was amazing. I'll sometimes just look at a normal panel and think, "It feels like I'm actually looking at some tired girl sitting down on a bench in real life. Did the artist have a friend sit down like 100 different times as a model to make this illustration😕" It's almost like the manga is getting animated in my head and I can almost hear voices. Then there are some important and special scenes where the artist puts in a lot of work to hammer the climatic nail down. They really know how to throw around emphasis when and where it's needed.

The artist is pulling some big weight here!
