The story, characters, themes, and basically everything about this manga is fantastic and it is easily one of my favorites. In fact it probably would be my favorite manga if not for a singular issue. The ending ended up being extremely rushed, and becomes obvious within the last few chapters, especially the finale. The way the characters all evolved throughout the story made it clear that they were planning so much farther, but instead it ended in the second arc. Do I recommend this? Yes absolutely. But is it satisfying? Until the very end extremely. There's also a super thic albino loli that steps like adom, so for some that is a very easy incentive

Actually have a lot of potential. The world, the character, the concept, and especially the art is amazing. But, the plot itself is so rushed, maybe it's the effect of the fact that it got axed, but since the first few chapters i feel like it always been rushed tbh. I wish that Atsushi Nakayama sensei explore more about the world, character, and so on. But it's still a great and fast read, not to many dialog and the artsyle kinda remind me of GACHIAKUTA. I actually read this because the manga covers of Vol 6 that looks dope af.

tl;dr: A manga with a strange but good art style and well-developed duo of characters with a plot moving in a really interesting direction that was forced to end at a terrible time. This manga gets off to a pretty interesting start. The first thing I noticed was the art style, which is quite strange though in a good way, and reminds me quite a bit of Danganronpa. Overall the art is quite elaborate, with designs that are very cute, but also designs that can be quite creepy, with both of these aspects coming through quite a lot in character expressions. The main duo of characters was also quite interesting, seeming to be opposites, but actually meshing quite welltogether. They were also both very fleshed out characters and exhibited good growth and relationship growth for most of the series. The plot for the most part was also really interesting, with solid pacing and some good twists. It took a major risk about half way through with some really large-scale events that led to a second half incredibly different from the first, in a way that kind of reminded me of Kuryokohime. I was skeptical about this shift at first, but as it went on it really looked like they would be able to make it work and pull it off. It really felt like something that could be really amazing if they kept taking it slowly and went through it properly. Unfortunately, at that point the manga seems like it got axed and it got rushed into a really forced ending. As mentioned, the direction they were going in wasn’t the type they could quickly just end things well at a drop of the hat because the shift involved intentionally screwing up the narrative because bringing it back together properly would work really well. But it being axed prevents that from happening, and hence though hints at what could have been remain, all that ultimately happened were that the it threw itself in a hole and never got the chance to crawl out, thus resulting in an ending that was a pretty unsatisfying mess. It had a few good moments that felt like if they had been done properly they could have been great, but in context completely lacked impact, and in terms of the story it explained pretty much nothing with an entire tapestry of plot threads left unresolved. It was a great journey getting up to that ending, but the abrupt ending overall just left a really bitter aftertaste due to how it felt like such a disappointment and waste of potential.
