james_desantis's review against another edition

4.0

I kept going back and forth between 3 star or 4. Listen, this shit is DUMB but in a mostly fun way. The boy doesn't believe in ghost but believes in aliens. The girl believes in ghost but not aliens. They each dare each other to go to places that have aliens/ghost. Neither thinks they'll see anything but the boy gets cursed by a spirit who steals his dick. The girl is kidnapped by aliens with metal dicks who want to use the girl for disgusting things.

See here's the thing. This series feel like the author just had a idea and made shit up as he goes. But it does keep you guessing, some hilarious dialogue. The fights also can be pretty epic with solid art.

There's a few too many creepy moments. Our main girl gets her clothes ripped off by thr aliens and almost raped. Then there's creepy panty shot later where rhe ghost lifts her up by leg and long shots of her crotch.

So yeah there's some scenes that rubbed me wrong way. But at the same time this series is crazy fucking weird and lots of surprises so it keeps it entertaining. I'll check out another volume.

Decided to read the manga after watching the anime, and I am glad I did. Every pannel is compositionally excellent, and the pacing and humour is very tight. What an exciting way to start a series.
