chilling

by jasperv

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

well Toto don't be so sure about your predictable poetic justice
the mangaka other manga Anne freaks did end with the two protagonists not only escaping but killing the female police officer who tried to save them
and the other one portrayed the redemption of a killer with love and friendship
so its possible that the protagonist will be saved in the end or maybe not
some feminist woman complained of perceived anti-women BS
yet she didn't check that the mangaka is female

It's been a while since I've enjoyed reading a series.

In all likely hood... the stories going to end like death note with a karmatic ending (poetic justice), because it's near impossible to allow the corrupt people of society to survive... It gives the "wrong" message. Very blah. Very predictable.

I'll just enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Thrilling

by Fizypop

Rating: N/A

A thrilling tale of morality and what you're willing to do for loved ones in the face of overwhelming odds. The premise doesn't pull its punches in regards to its actions and sticks to them despite the stress and despair it inflicts on its cast.

The ending sadly does not resolve all plot points (like why the girl is a psychic) but it implies something sinister with its final panel.

A great read if you're looking for a story that escalates its action.

Pretty alright

by Noburo

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

This series will always be special to me because it was the first that formally introduced me into the real manga world. Before then, I was just reading the mainstream stuff that had anime adaptations and I didn't have much knowledge of the not-so-big manga series like this.

This one's a pretty simple series to understand with some fun plot lines and interesting takes on hit-men. The story isn't scared to take risks and the main character was really good. The big fault of this series is easily the girl who gets introduced in the first few chapters and some minor plot holes, but other than that, its pretty good.

Good manga

by kiriee
10 years ago

Rating: N/A

A good manga if not great, it fill with good character, the story flow without being forced, the art is clean the only bad thing is that unlike other detective/mystery manga this one does not make you think at least for me that is the case, for some reason I just got dragged with the flow without stopping and thinking for a while whenever that is good or not it is for you to judge.

@Pacific.Mint
If you read it carefully you should get your answer it was pretty clear,
-there's always people angry at this world and that is exactly what Kuzumi is, he just got an excuse for doing justice to bad guys
-it was revealed but not in clear way but with a hint
-It was a baseline it mean a revenge will always there and always re payed with revenge I think it was what the author aiming for
-Agree to this, I think this only to explain early character and their personality which actually good although I prefer author use different method instead.
-It resolve well it was good enough ending, not happy ending, some are not explained clearly so it is up to reader to figure it out

The story

by KF

I read the story from start to finish. The concept itself was good but towards the end I felt a little rushed. I get the feeling that the manga could become something more. This is what I think.

Pretty Sad Ending

by nocherian

Rating: N/A

It was a good short manga, so I would recommend it to anyone who likes psychological thrillers. I wish it had a happier ending though, it was so unresolved. Were the murders really worth it? And I wish that creepy bitch who gave them the missions got killed too, she betrayed all of them like nothing.

Not a Poor Male Lead

Poor lead is a bit wrong I think having to pay 4.5 THOUSAND a month in USD is a bit ridiculous just for the treatment alone not including your own living expenses plus her hospital bills.

From Okay to Worse

by AsexualFujyoshi

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

You know, I'm pretty shocked this manga has received such blatantly positive reviews on this site (excepting, of course, the one below mine, which doesn't actually make any sense at all no matter how you look at it). Kimi no Knife isn't a bad manga. It just isn't a really good one, either.

I mean, yeah, it's an okay manga. As in, it's really nothing special, but if you're looking for something to pass the time with, I guess you could pick it up. It's somewhat like Death Note only slightly less contrived and with characters that actually feel (for the most part) relatively human. Unfortunately, the appeal of the series - namely, the psychological and moral aspects that were so prevalent in the beginning - has been significantly downplayed in favor of... what? More action and murder and blowing stuff up? That really is unfortunate, since the psychology behind the premise was what initially drew my attention to this series. I was hoping for something like “Death Note, only with a writer who actually knows what the hell they’re writing about,” but I guess that was too much to ask. I mean, I was anticipating more mature storytelling from a seinen title, as I've come to expect of the genre. If I wanted to read a flimsy action series without having to actually think, I’d have picked up a Shounen Jump title. As it is, it's become increasingly difficult to find good seinen manga, especially with all that ecchi crap that’s out there nowadays.

Anyway, I agree with what one reviewer said about that Ito chick. What a boring, senseless character.

Honestly, I’m glad she died. At least she did something useful for once by saving a child before she went. Speaking of annoying, what the hell is up with the Shiki's Dulcinea complex? Geez, it'd make a hell of a lot more sense if he had a Quixote complex to match, being a reluctant hitman and all. Makihara is by far the most developed character, what with all his muddled emotions and his motivations and that Stockholm syndrome he's developed. Itsuki is okay, but I wish her power had more influence on the story because right now, it really just feels like an all too convenient plot device. Speaking of which, the plot is okay, not nearly as deep as I'd originally hoped. It gets pretty repetitive after awhile with the whole "get target, debate killing target, kill target" setup. The premise isn't exactly original, and the author isn't trying too hard to make it that way.

I'm going to give this manga a 5 because it doesn't deserve higher than what it is - average. Hell, a 5 is doing it a favor, really. Maybe I'll finish it, maybe I won't. That'll depend on how much longer it can hold my interest (which has been waning lately).

Also, concerning jasperv's ETA, which is just annoying me: 1. Women can be sexist, too. 2. The reviewer DID mention the author's sex in her post. Multiple times, at that. 3. She also made a point of explaining how the manga is anti-male. I'm going to take a wild guess and assume you saw the word "feminist" and flipped the lid without actually reading her review. Calling her carefully written argument BS isn't exactly doing yours any favors.

Moral Bullshit readers is warn !!!

This Manga is not for moralist bullshit who keep on complaining to the author why not this, why not that. Some people who is think that she or he is morally high please do not read a dark manga an d Seinen who sadly doesn't have a moral Standard, this is for Adult who already get past a moral judgment not for a kid. So for you moralist shut up and read if you don't like it just burn it.
