Taiyo Matsumoto's art is consistently beautiful, and I'll be honest in saying that alone makes No.5 worth the read. I'll also be honest and say none of the story is working for me, and I can barely even remember what happens in any of the frenetically paced chapters, let alone remember who is who in a cast of characters who keep swapping names as their ranks change in real time and in flashbacks. 5 is 1 is 4 is 2 is 4 is 9 is 6, and 4 kills 5 who is now 2 is 6's friend but 8's enemy. It's pretty!

The art style is too crowded and dark for my eyes to differentiate between characters so I can getting confused. I also don't fully know what is going on and I'm not a reader who likes being left in the dark

DNF. While the illustrations are beautiful, the story was far too erratic to enjoy.

This was kind of hard to keep track of at first, lots of different characters to keep in mind but towards the end I enjoyed :•)

The Umbrella Academy by way of Moebius. Interested to see where this goes, and since this series is only four volumes I shouldn't have too much trouble finishing it.
