A creepy but wonderful one shot manga. Story:9 The execution of the story is perfectly done. I like how it was predictable but a worth read. It is a little bit twisted but nonetheless, the plot is good. Art:8 The art is good. The way the mangaka illustrates the facial expressions of the characters is okay. You will not be uncomfortable with the graphics. Character:8 I love how the madness is portrayed, I mean it is not exaggerated. Also, how the main character progresses throughout the story and as the story ended. I commend Mary for being kind despite on how the Earl treats her as.Enjoyment:9 I enjoyed this story mainly because I'm into twisted plot lines. It was touching by the way. Overall:8 Not the best but a good one. Hope this helps.
Mary is hired as a laundress at castle inhabited by a mad Earl who is obsessed with making her become his doll. (Source: MU)
tldr; poor attempt at being "edgy and cool", suits being wattpad fanfiction better -- ah yes welcome to this Horror Manga. it is most definitely Horror, even if there is nothing horror-full about it apart from it simply being horrible. the story's nothing special, though it's not bad. mary's out there living her fairy tail dream, and suddenly a rich guy's kinda obsessed with her. the execution of the story is as can be expected of a one shot, in the sense that it's not easy to create depth if you've only got one chapter to work in. the art's decent, and resembles very much all those "how todraw anime girl" tutorials on google. however, i'll admit that i didn't dislike the way doll mary was drawn - it was clear some effort was put into making this story actually scary. once more, nothing can really be said about the characters either. "doll?!" cries out mary, sounding far too much like werewolf wattpad fanfiction, "i'm nothing more than a peasant!" the earl's not got anything to him too. he's been designed just to fit the mangaka's fantasy, with one flaw thrown in (asthma) which thus most definitely prevents him from becoming a gary sue. overall, i wasn't a fan. this one shot is a poor attempt at being edgy (what was the horror supposed to be? the fact he had a knife?) by a mangaka who should stick with her typical cutesy romance stuff. that said, it's only a one shot, and it doesn't take that much time/effort to read if you're bored and/or desperate.
