3.57 AVERAGE


I feel like the ending (like the majority of volume 8) was a bit rushed, but Togata said that Agni's story would have a bad ending so that makes it meta and cool.

This is 100% not a story for everyone, and I feel like the arguments that the darker themes are just shock value and that they're to make the story realistic can be true at the same time. That being said, I do think the praise this series gets is well deserved. The art is beautiful, the characters are so unique (I ♥️ you Togata) and it's themes, messages and allegories are handled so well. Definitely a read to remember

Uh, won't be picking this back up, probably. Tatsuki is fucked in the head.

disturbingly beautiful and one of the best representations of trans identity

li há alguns meses atrás e esqueci de adicionar aqui

a primeira das pedradas do Fujimoto tem um Vol. 1 muito chocante, cruel e pesado em níveis que não imaginava, mas preciso continuar pra saber se é essa pompa toda mesmo. sinais de discussões e temas interessantes mais pra frente

One of the best starts to a manga I've seen, truly a great way to create memorable characters who are able to show how we can all find something within ourselves to continue on.

I don’t think this is for me. In a lot of ways I see the themes and storytelling style of chainsaw man. Just less refined.
