Until Your Bones Rot

This Manga is extremely enjoyable and I would implore anyone who agrees to assist in raising the score. Till Your Bones Rot is deep philosophical manga about the consequences of murdering someone. These consequences are experienced and conveyed through a group of young teenagers, who all had their own motives and deal with it in their own way. In the way that it's emotional, it's also a mystery roller-coaster. There are many scenes in this that will leave you guessing at what happens next, or took place that we don't know about yet. It's drawn pretty well, and I rarely ever had a moment where theart didn't convey what the author intended. Beyond this, all the names should be easy to remember if you've got some familiarity with Japanese names. These generally lend themselves to the high rating I gave it. Overall, this manga is an experience that will keep you reading without overstaying its welcome. Please read it and share your thoughts, if you can. I rate it an 8.5/10, rounded up to a pleasent 9/10 for MAL.

I can see why people would leave good reviews, but I've read enough of this genre to not really see anything special in this story or that makes all the flaws worth the read. This is, first of all, too pretentious for its own good: a slight case of "virgin loser" type shonen writing that showed specially in the female side characters (useless and whose actions didn't make any sense) which was a shame since the protagonist wasn't as annoying as other cases of this, a great amount of predictability that the author attempted to solve by pulling dumb plot twists out of thin air,using a flat and hollow character as a villain (that remains hollow and flat and underdeveloped even after said plot twist) that can only be sustained by making up characters that were never before even hinted at as existing, thus compromising their previous story building and making more than a quarter of the manga feel rushed for no reason, since this wasn't a case of "you're getting axed so solve this now". A bunch of unused, flat, weird side characters that never really do anything for the plot, as well. Now anyone would say, well the plot is interesting, well the art is gorgeous, well at least it's entertaining, but it really isn't, the delivery is actually more annoying than entertaining, and once again, there are ENOUGH stories in the shonen, seinen and even shojo and josei tags with similar plotlines and wonderful breathtaking art that are far more entertaining, some of them even with the shonen tropes and nonsense writing if that's your cup of tea, so it would be a better use of your time to go on either of those and search something similar. But just to get the kick, this one's too boring and way too average, and for dumb stupid plot twists, this is too mediocre.

So, I found this manga in my local 2nd hand book store. The cover art attracts me instantly so, I bought the first volumes of the manga. Guess what? I ended buying the remaining volumes of the manga after reading the first one. In my opinion, Hone ga Kusaru made provides one of the best experience I had when reading mystery manga. These are the reasons on why I enjoy reading this 'masterpiece'. 1) Art The artwork of this manga is done by Yae Utsumi which I never heard of before stumbling upon this manga. The artwork is pretty clean and the character design have some 'kyun'elements to it. I especially enjoy the facial expression of the characters (seems pretty real to me). 2) Character Development In my opinion the character development is consistent until the end of the manga which i think its pretty reasonable. I enjoy great n steady character development as it could really allow me to be in the character's position and experience their feelings. 3) Story The plot starts off relatively slow, allowing the reader to digest the information provided without being left behind. As the story progresses, the pace will gradually increase to stay relevant to the story. There are a couple of fillers but it is necessary to avoid plot holes. As I read the manga I thought that I predicted the main antagonist from the manga and guess what, plot twist! The plot twist is totally unpredictable and it amazes me. Overall, I definitely enjoy reading the manga to my heart content. But honestly this manga does not have much reread value as we already know the main antagonist of the manga. But the story is unforgettable and I would die for finding any manga similar to this.

When I started reading this manga, I couldn't get through first chapter, after I did I dropped it, but I felt like I had to read at least one more. Unfortunately I couldn't find English scans and the only online version I did find was very poorly translated, so reading the second chapter was so hard that I had to drop this manga. A time has passed and I thought about the characters because they felt kinda warm to me so when I was picking a new manga, I decided to finally give it one more chance. This manga has a really interesting premise, as Ihave mentioned characters also feel real so that combined with great art and interesting twists, gives us a pretty solid manga. Art (7/10) I wouldn't say the art work is great, but it is good and it really fits the manga. I don't really have much to say, art is not something that really stands out but still it was good. Story (8/10) I found story really interesting, not only the main storyline but the romance one also, as it really reminded me of myself, not the main guy he gets all the girls:(. only thing that I hated was translation, I don't wanna sound mean, but usually the panels would be out of order, I would always get lost and don't get what was happening, and sometimes whole chapters were rearanged. (I don't mean official English scans) Characters (9/10) Characters by far are the greatest feat of this manga, they feel extremely real and reletable, one of the things that I really liked, well not really enjoyed, but I was happy that simillar thing that happened to me was in this manga. I as well as Ryu had a crush on two close friend girls, but both of them liked my weird short best friend, (it is a joke he is good looking but short af:)). The only thing that I don't really like about characters are the females.... as not right as it sounds, hear me out, they are not enjoyable, I don't really like how they act and it's not because of my personal feelings, you will get it after reading. Main guy is cool, Akira is great, Ryu was always my favorite, but the author doesn't really care about him and he is seemingly an outcast of the main group in manga so yeah, still great tho. Enjoyment (8.5/10) It was pretty easy to read, unfortunately as I've already mentioned, my translation sucked, so it was harder for me to understand the story, but still short and sweet chapters, filled with enjoyable characters made up for everything Overall (8.5/10) Don't mind the math, it is just how I feel. There were some things I didn't like, but after reading I wanted more. I know I've talked too much about the characters, but I really liked them, the story was dark and sweet and I really enjoyed every bit of it, the ending was questionable, I wouldn't say bad, but there were some things I didn't like and maybe wanted something different, but it concludes the story well. In conclusion, I would really recommend this manga and I would like to read more from this author.
