Didn't really know what to expect with this, and it took a little bit to get into it. The artwork seems a bit too rough at times, but other times is gentle and refined. It's definitely intriguing enough to continue.

I'll admit that I read this after watching the Netflix series (up through S2 anyway).

So far the Manga hasn't disappointed though. There's definitely a difference between the animated series and the manga but it seems to really hold true to what I'd expected. This is also my first experience reading Manga as well, so I guess take that into consideration.

2.0

Liked the art. The whole theater thing is uninteresting, though. And we follow characters not involved with the murder investigation, so other than it creating a rift between the herbivore and omnivore sides, it didn't really go anywhere and I don't see it going anywhere interesting. Also, this might be a cultural difference, but some parts were soooo melodramatic, certain things the characters would say or do, just a bit odd, I felt as if I were missing something. No motivation whatsoever to continue, unfortunately :(
