pluckaduck's manga / #Gore(6)

ch 11. wow. this is good. like the events keep culminating into this climax, the hints were dropped throughout the story, my tension keeps rising. like i kinda had an inkling he was kinda a psychopath, so it wasn't a surprise, but I'm very interested as to how this confrontation will unfold. ch 35.5 holy shit. srsly tho, the ajin demi-human powers is rather simple to explain yet also very fleshed out, but it's ingenious how they use it in many different ways to fight, etc... and now this crazy "transportation" method? absolute nuts. also, the villain, sato, is freaking scary despite looking like a nice granpa, like homelander scary except he doesn't have any weaknesses ch 52. wowowowow the author is brilliant in pulling off these twists leading us around by the nose and then catch us completely by surprise. god, sato is freaking terrifying i literally stop breathing for a sec bro ch 86. great ending. jesus christ sato is srsly terrifying, all that effort and it was almost fruitless and they were ready to give up... also, i kinda like that the origin of the mystery of the demi-human is still kinda vague and unknown, but its allusion to human nature is done quite well, considering all the shit in this story.

should not have read this before going to sleep. had a nightmare. the characterization of the charas are so fascinating. only the most twisted, cruel demons can survive in their society.

great great magnificant art, but lets be honest: the pacing and progression is messy asf. i wish the mangaka put more care into the storyline, characterization (except for Marie-joseph) as he did for the art. the art carried. also, probably the only manga where naked guys hugging each other, guys kissing each other is completely platonic... *cue regretful sigh*. also, marie-joseph is really hot. she ended up being the chara readers rooted for the most, and henri-whatever's chara arc is sooo disappointing. I'm glad he recalled his dream again, and stopped being a total ass, but it's not a very high bar. ointing. I'm glad he recalled his dream again, and stopped being a total ass, but it's not a very high bar. his sudden change to supporting the revolutionaries was also confusing, and i thought it should've been delved into. but i suppose if the manga was trying to be historically accurate, there's only so much the author can do in his characterizations... even tho it felt so random.
