etien's manga / #philosophical(20)

Makes me lost in thoughts...like it so much.

So realistic,the best manga I have ever read and it worth to be considered a great work in literature as well.

It is finished in some other website that I read from before. Will have to find it again.

I picked this up after watching the anime which was FREAKING AWESOME (I don't give a damn about people who hate on it, those better stick to cliche shounen/shoujo shit). The manga despite the cute art that ruined a bit of dark atmosphere of the story (captured perfectly in the anime btw), still kept me on the edge of my seat... until the second arc with that whole stupid drama in the new school. I fucking hate the second arc and I didn't give a damn about Kasuga or whoever he pairs up with but I HATED what author did to Nakamura. She was the main character of the manga for me and it was so frustrating to follow the second tier Kasuga for whole second arc only to find Nakamura in the last episodes talking like the shitheads she hated. God I was damn pissed at manga! Still I give it 3/5 for the fist arc which was dope. I have a feeling Oshimi Shouzo always messes up the ending of his niche stories because of magazine sales...or maybe he is just a shithead himself :( P.S. I watched the live-action movie and was reminded how disappointing the beach scene and Kasuga's shallow ordinary personality was so yeah, I downgraded my rating from 4 to 3 *sigh*

This manga is very explicit but it is not for the sake of it, there is a deeper meaning behind each story and it revolves around the fucked-upness of the world. I like this mangaka's narrative and story telling. This may not be my favorite of his but it sure worth a shot.

The idea started as a normal isekai concept but it rapidly evolved in a different direction that kept me to the edge of my seat. The meta concept of being trapped by a pre-written destiny collided many times with our concept of purpose and meaning in life. The whole part about blond guy was too melodramatic and lacked sense but the rest about ML and MC (the irony lol) was very well put together. It is definitely a must read!

Best of this author in my opinion. The plot was lacking towards the end but still a worthy recommendation. Don't take science jargon stuff too seriously, they are flawed. Wish there was more but I understand why she stopped there.
