I liked the tv show, this is better though
Much darker than the tv show, but also more interesting character development.

This is a weird one to review. There are moments I was really into the story and excited to read more, and then other moments that left me feeling confused, wondering where the author is going with this.
One of my biggest gripes with the story is that the first half feels entirely different from the second half. It is a little jarring.
The story moves very fast, and I'm enjoying it. Compliments to the author, you kept my attention and interest in a large cast of characters during this period. When we get to the midway point, everything slows down immediately... and then we are given a 6 year time skip and thrown into another fast-paced plot that made little sense. Whiplash much?
Don't even get me started on the weirdly timed dance party. The whole world is in turmoil, with two important characters missing, danger everywhere... but no, let's dress up and throw a huge party, what could go wrong?
There are other moments in the book that had me questioning the character's sanity, and most of those moments were in the second half. I do not know what happened, but everything after the time skip is just.. strange.
It's a shame, the writing is good, and I DID like some of the characters, but then it just... ye.
I'll probably read the next one in the series because I'm curious now, but I am in no rush to get it.

I don't know how to feel. The plot was interesting in both stories, but it was really heavy handed on the homophobic slurs for the first story. Like it was uncomfortable to read.
Second story didn't have any, and we learn about some interesting new characters that have me intrigued.

It felt like I was reading a bad shonen anime. This is probably the only reason I enjoyed it. Dialogue was so cringe. Everyone had different powers and final forms.
If you can get past the bad writing, then I recommend it. If you like bad shonen anime as I do, then change the rating to 3⭐.
