Jagaaaaaan review
2021 and this series still constant to its ideals and themes since its first serialization. The amount of hype and action are packing the whole series while the chapters are on going. Its sexual visuals are still implemented by the author. Overall the series is still as hype or more from its first introduction.
Jagaaaaaan has one of the straight-forward scripts I've ever read in a manga (based on English Translation), it doesn't complicate its messages and points, but they are deep and very related. It is full of actions and scenes that are pretty disturbing and lines that are basically for adult readers (it's a seinen btw). The characters are fun and not shallow in their viewpoints. It also has a very mature approach in romance in both scenes and visual. Each chapter is enough but at the same time you want to know what's going to happen next. And again, Jagaaaaaan is pretty fast in approach to its stories, but that what's make this series godly, since it is detailed, not overcomplex and pack. Reading Jagaaaaaan is like eating a very spicy food, it hurts and sometimes disgusting but you will continue to eat it. Pretty good series. |
Jagaaaaaan review
My experience with Jaga[..]n : an incredibly bold start that unfortunately fizzled out into a boring edgy battle series.
I want to take a moment to commend the opening ~20 chapters of this manga, incredibly dark and explosive. In them we meet the series protagonist, a pathetic, disillusioned cop. His only cope is knowing his gun could, in some universe where he'd be brave enough to perform the act, kill one of the pathetic NPCs that surround him, or even himelf. The opening chapters reflect the unending horrors of the contemporary, disempowered social individual. The monsters are the protagonist's shitty coworkers, an abusive boss in the metro, protagonist's naggy girlfriend. Protagonist feels trapped, isolated, and itches for something to give him meaning to live. These chapters are also actually super funny, because à la Joker (but also Otto Dix, or Munsch, or Picasso in the abstracted animalistic quality of the faces), the protagonist wears a grotesque smile, reflecting the bland and appeasing social selves we create to interact 'normally' with others without causing conflict. It's hilarious and painful, and most importantly, directly echoes the monster designs that begin to appear through Tokyo. Ensues an incel magical girl power fantasy, which I unironically think echoes Madoka Magica super well. The undying mascot is a useless moron of an owl instead of whatever Kyubi is, and the magical girl gems get crushed up and snorted like coke in the Jagaaan universe. One of the side heroes immediately uses his newfound powers to rape, like, every woman he meets. The gift of power is quickly revealed to be a curse. Anyway, I loved this part of Jagaaan. Edgy, of course, but also thought-provoking and funny, as well as visually unique. Unfortunately, as the series continued, it began to draw away from the inner thoughts of the protagonist, and as he gained power, he solved a lot of the conflicts that made the beginning of the series so interesting. He became a generic hero, overpowered and surrounded by girls. This is what I'd like to call the Gantz effect: slick visuals and characters, but an initial darkness and provocative quality that becomes stale over the course of the series. The pathos-inducing gags and original, grotesque facial expressions disappeared, replaced by tons of naked cute girls and (admittedly) cool battle series monster designs. The monster designs also lost allegorical strength. We went from 'girlfriend is a giant scorpion, lashing out out of bottled rage caused by a complex tangle of reasons' to 'vegetarian monster (?)'. [spoilers lol] I was really shocked that the idol girl's arc went from gaining her powers to kill her father who raped her for 10 years, to killing him, to succeeding at her dream to become an idol at whatever cost, to getting raped by that one side character pervert guy, to slightly injuring him, to him lowkey getting a redeeming (death? if i remember correctly) in the next battle. Amidst gory deaths, constant sex, and nihilistic characters, this arc is easily the darkest element of Jagaaan. The part where she is raped in the bathroom by the pervert character is heavy and effectively horrifying. But it is not treated with the narrative weight it deserved, pushed aside while protagonist and girlfriend #3 find some stupid deus ex machina plan to take down big bad. It's always a bad sign when characters start yelling concepts like 'justice!' and 'peace!' and 'hero!' at each other while charging at each other in their gigantic OP bioweapons. I am afraid I must have overestimated the critical depth of the Jagaaan, which, despite a strong beginning, has revealed itself to be quite a shallow and typical seinen battle manga! Review as of Ch.67 (dropped) |

Apart from the action, and amazing well-drawn fighting scene. This manga also has an interesting love story, a good sense of humour, and uh a lot of nudity which done pretty decent (although some might be considered misogynistic in a way).
All of the character (main and supporting) have some kind of tragic background that made you want to read more and more, my favourite would be the butterfly duo. Another thing about the story is how the author divided two stories of the main and supporting, gradually building them up then connect the dots at one point. Overall, it's a pretty good manga, looking forward to the climax, and hoping it has 200+ chapters or 300+ would be nice. |
Jagaaaaaan review
To be honest Jagaaaaan is like nothing I have read ,just the whole frogs falling from the sky thing struck me as unique.
The art style is great, the author real captures human emotion and you can tell what kind of person someone is just by their face. Also, the fight scenes aren't lacking either, there's tonnes of great abilities and seeing them put against each other is honestly a spectacle. The manga really shows you the harshness of reality and how cruel people can be(sometimes it gets pretty dark).Some people have pretty sad back stories, one to the extent where I found myself sympathising with an antagonist. Jagaaaaan's main character is intriguing, at the start of the manga he's presented as this pshycho "shoot em up" dude but then becomes a bit softer, this didn't bother me but it did turn others off. However, at the manga's current stage i believe the MC isn't like that anymore. Overall,Jagaaaaan is great and you should definitely check it out. |
Jagaaaaaan review
Here's my take after reading 25 fractured chapters of Jagaaaaaan by Muneyuki Kaneshiro (Story) and Kensuke Nishida (Art).
It's seldom that you read something that have heavy influences and inspiration from well established mangas and make it work and stand on it's own. Jagaaaaaan has a great premise that made it amusing to read. The story revolves around the protagonist Shintarou Jagasaki a 27 year old policeman who struggles to contain his frustrations in life at work and at home with his girlfriend. Things turned upside down when a sudden rain of frogs fell down the city and started taking over the city's people turning them into fractured humans whose innermost feeling fuels their grotesque transformation and abilities; one being Jagasaki himself. Although it got most of it's concept and ideas from previous manga's like kiseijuu by Hitoshi Iwaaki and Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica by Magica Quartet (Story) and Hanokage (Art), It definitely works and I have enjoyed every chapter. The art is good and clean, I'm not sure if it was intentional, but it was really cringe inducing at the first few chapters then it turns into this itchy Trypophobia dealing nightmare. (This manga is not recommended for those who have Trypophobia trust me) The characters are one dimensional at first but they slowly improve as each chapter passes; however, they still have a long way to go. I can't help but to add that Bell is the most interesting character among it's cast and I like her more and more as every chapter passes. There's a ton of mature content on this manga so I would not recommend this to our young readers. But I do recommend this to people who have read Kiseijuu or Tokyo Ghoul, but do not expect much as I believe this manga is created to primarily entertain which it did well during my read. With that said, I would give Jagaaaaaan 8 Dung Balls out of 10. |
Jagaaaaaan review
Well!
Like the man before, I started to read Jagaaaaaan since his first chapter, it's very great! The draw, the universe is good! It's so cool to see how the mangakas introduce a situation, it's very powerfull and rythmed! You need to read it! They are such details for faces expressions and the powers of the fractured humans. Such beautiful things in a powerfull manga! Maybe the scenarios is not very "original" because the protagonist need to meet others transformed humans like him but I'm so impatient. I look forward to seeing how they will look at future arcs and new developments! Read it! |
Jagaaaaaan review
I enjoyed this manga in a way I haven’t for most in a long time. I don’t know if I just have a proclivity towards edgy slock but by god when it’s done well it never bores me. If there is one thing I enjoy about this manga after reading all 116 chapters of it is the surprising amount of heart that is etched into every single moment. A ton of time and energy is devoted to the development of interpersonal relationships, establishing full arcs within these dynamics setting the stage for some real emotionally tragic and cathartic moments. As the series continues we spend
a lot of time with each character spending time to flesh out even characters that aren’t our main characters but they still service the purpose of the plot of the arc giving a real sense of chaos. The concept of people’s desires and the strength of human conviction is a welcome one and is an element of the story that very much flies in the face of Japanese cultural norms. Drawing on the human desire to escape mundanity. I’ve seen a lot of detractors from the series claim that the plot is messy and chaotic. But within the context of the narrative it services the purpose of conveying the chaotic consequences of human desire. All throughout the story we are met with tons of morally complicated situations that challenge our main character really helping us to understand his development. He’s a pretty unlikable character at the beginning but the fact that the story seeks to explore individuals like this and their growth shows a real heart to the series. It’s a story that struck very close to me at moments and helped me to pause a moment and to think about the lives and perspectives I’ve otherwise would’ve overlooked. Yes it’s not original in anyway but it doesn’t cease to have an impact with its consistently entertaining nature. Truly a series worth consideration!

Jagaaaaaan review
The synopsis does not do this manga justice - who allowed this. Regardless, the most interesting part of the manga is the question of "what will you do to fulfill your desires?" Whether it is the main plot or one of the very intriguing side plots, this question is developed. It is interesting to see how the main character deals with his own idea of justice and how it proceeds to change over time. This manga does not allow blank space to fill the atmosphere, It is thoroughly interesting all the way through. It is enjoyable to see that the side plots can stand on
their own, even though they are extremely morbid. Jagan is a tragic hero manga with a lot of self-reflecting moments and well paced, easy to follow action.

Jagaaaaaan review
Story:Feels a bit like parastyle,with the MC having infected with a unknown parasite frog and is able to shoot monster with his right hand,a bit like shinichi from parastyle,but despite that,it feels different and felt just as good if not better then parastyle, 9/10
Art:Really good art style,the mangaka really put a lot of effort to show the emotion of the characters (plus the plot is just as good if you know what i mean ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ) 10/10 Characters:The character does not feel bland at all,even newly intro characters felt really good despite only appearing not for a long time,the MC is really good,where he felt really relate able as he struggle to live in life until recently where he got his power. 10/10 |
