DNF'd after 1st chapter. I did go into this manga knowing it wasn't a genre I really care for, but wanted to give it a try since club mod gave it high praise. I read the 1st chapter four different times but it just wasn't clicking. I kept feeling like I was missing something, it was to the point I read it digitally, an unofficial translated digital copy, and a physical copy from the store. I don't know if it was the transitions between scenes, the passage of time, or what... I also could care less for the two FMCs and their interactions with each other. It seemed very forced and artificial.

Probably one of my favorite manga narratives on trauma from multiple different trauma survivors of several personalities instead of one stereotypical "traumatized" personality, and has an epic fat-muscular protagonist who shows her trauma in unconventional ways. I also like the way the female characters show obvious desire for each other and the fact that they're grown women in the first place

SHWD is an exciting action yuri series which features something most manga and comics typically do not feature, women with actual muscles. There is a good diversity in the range of muscles on women but the story has so far only 4 women in it and like 0 men who matter at all. It's very focused on the characters who matter to the story it's telling.
The story it's telling it a world where eldrich horrors that were made during "the war" appear driving people into killing frenzys and consuming them. Our heroes work at SHWD a private company that disposes of these monsters. The monsters are like ugly slime things they at present exist as a thing for the people to kill and aren't like "villains" they are the nature of the world stained by war.
Politically I am not sure if I am connecting to the plot or theme but I am not totally sure what the story is trying to say other then wouldn't it be hot if a slammer buff woman and a big buff woman kissed on the lips on the battle field and to that end, I agree, whole heartedly and I want to see it. I look forward to future volumes, I am not totally sure if the series will be for me but I am super glad I Picked this up and supported this very original piece of art.

Wow?! I did not expect to love this so much!! I already adore the characters and the story is incredibly cool. It's definitely a horror/post-apocalyptic type feel and I love it!
