NEJIMAKI SHOUKOUGUN

This one-shot was quite interesting. The story was pretty rushed and exposition heavy, but that can be partially attributed to the fact this was indeed a one-shot. The premise caught me immediately, and while most of what could be done was at least explained, I would love to see it expanded on more in the future (which, unfortunately, probably won't happen as it's been 8 years since this was published).

The artwork wasn't anything amazing, but wasn't bad either; it was very average. In a similar vein, the characters were pretty flat and two-dimensional, with some rushed development thrown in, yet with time (and more experience in the mangaka's part) they could be made in to very good characters.

Even with the flaws present, the premise and execution were done well enough for me to highly enjoy my time reading this. It wasn't the best thing I've ever read, but it provided enjoyment and has a decent bit of potential. All in all, I'm glad I spent my time reading this.
