read this because i watched the anime a few years ago and because of its connection to bungo stray dogs, overall i love it !! i especially liked the psychological aspects of it. some parts made me really frustrated like akazawa blaming it all on misaki and sakakibara even though it was literally the entire classes fault for not telling him to ignore misaki... but i guess she got her character redemption. one of the best manga i have read lately, definitely one of my favorites! very spooky and mysterious :3

It was good but not groundbreaking. There were too many characters in my opinion so you never really got attached to anyone. When a character died I would just think "oh well" haha. Also these characters all look so similar which doesn't really help either.

The manga was a good read, and it was interesting to see the difference between the anime and it. Would definitely recommend a read if you like horror/mystery/paranormal manga

TW/CW for Another omnibus:
There are depictions of:
There are depictions of:
- graphic violence
- consumption of alcohol
- death
- blood
The initial setup of Another was boring and most of the characters were bland until that first death happened. After that the plot and two main characters became interesting. There was an attempt at a "haunted/creepy" school vibe but I did not get that. Even with the mysterious deaths taking place the school still seemed "bright/happy". The only time I got the haunted/creepy vibes was when the students went to the abandoned part of the school and got that cassette tape.
There are awkward parts throughout the whole manga. I noticed it when I was around page 206 when the boys were talking about the curse of classroom 3 but never really talked about the curse. This happened a few times until that student became a "not here" as well.
As for the disturbing aspect of the manga, it was... Okay... If I am being honest. The audience does not develop any emotional connection to those deaths to make it more profound and/or disturbing. The concept felt rushed. It was like... "Oh, we need to hurry up and kill off all these side characters".
The last thing I will say is that it is a decent manga and if you read it you should also watch the anime.

Not into horror books & the translation I was reading wasn’t great.
