This manga was recommended to me as a "master piece" so I was excited to read it, when I first got into it it seemed promising but just not what I expecting.

The story was not anything special but it did got my attention, the story got so formulaic and bland after a while. It was really cliche and I just start to got bored after a while then they did the same thing twice during the ending which made me put it at a 6/10

The art was good and all but the over the top gore made it (for lack of a better word) boring to see and stale later on. I do like my gore and eerie moments and atmosphere but this was so over the top that it was bland (yh i am gonna use bland alot) and kinda laughable even (just in my opinion)

The characters was the most disappointing thing about this manga, just saying I read/watch manga/anime for its characters and if its characters are bad then most likely i wont like the manga and this fall within that category . With so many characters I initially thought I would at leas get attached to one, i mean I did at first but just like the entire manga it was really disappointing. Showing a sad backstory and making them happy then killing them wont make someone sympathize with them imo. the main villain was interesting at first then just disappeared for the majority of the manga only showing up in about 30+ panels in and manga with 119 chapters... then the other two villains the girl and the boy was just uggghghghghg. The boy was like a inhuman robot with nothing interesting to im at all and because I dont wanna spoil anything I am not gonna go any further, and the girl was just lame nothing to add to her. Most of the characters has no personality and the author kills them trying to make you sympathize with character which is really flat. Not to mention the main character ugh, he was one the worst, annoying and the type of protagonist that I hate the most, he started to change in the middle of the manga but just reverts to the beginning self coming to the end which was so frustrating. I have much more to say but that would add a whole two paragraphs so imma just end here. last note the protagonist is shit.

Enjoyment, I really wanted to enjoy this but I really don't. I just feel bad that this is praised so much but i did not like it really. People said that this was a better hunger games, which i never watched, but if hunger games is anything like this then ... all in all I had very little enjoyment. the fights we good at least (besides the last two which was absolute bullshit) and the force shitty romance which got under my skin and a weak ass ending that was predictable for the most part.

Overall... 7/10 just because so many people praise this show, I guess this manga was just not for me . I wont recommend anyone read this because in my opinion it was almost shit. Other than the over the top gore this manga really isn't anything special, and the genres is listed as Action, Drama, Horror, Psychological, Seinen but I fail to see any or little at all Drama, Horror, Psychological or Seinen aspects... well that is all
