ReviewRaptor's manga / #LACKING(413)

The MC isn't likable, the story isn't really interesting since it's like a basic Esper-Soother storyline and the art can't carry it for me. Just not my thing in any way but it really depends on taste.

The writing paired with the art in the start is VERY shitty. With something as heavy as this happening in the start os the story, you have ZERO business drawing cutesy chibi faces unless the mood was supposed to be comedic; which it clearly was NOT. Both the art and writing are low tier. Something teens can enjoy for sure, but noone with any sort of quality standards. Art is just as low effort and below mid tier as the writing. So there is really nothing of interest to me here.

Not really a fan of the visuals here. If I hadn't re-checked the tags, I'd thought she was a dude. X'D I don't mind less princess doe-eyed looking girls, but it's just odd looking with the love interest right next to her being the exact same facial shape and features. Really not my thing.

Be aware, this is a review, so there will be negative things mentioned here that I noticed. Can't handle critique or negative things being mentioned? Please don't read it, instead of getting prissy in a comment about me not liking something you gush over. ( It's sad I even have to put these disclaimers here all the time. This should be common sense or simply unneeded. :') ) If you are able to ignore writing flaws and don't mind the lack of character introduction (for personalities), then give this a shot, otherwise you may wanna keep these things in mind that i noticed when giving this a chance: The art is okay, colours and character designs are pleasant and everybody gets 'equal effort', so to speak, when it comes to art detail instead of giving side characters the bare minimum of time when drawing them. Excluding bg chars, they are still stock assets. XD The base story is interesting but it is too basic and too little and simply is not being focused on as the base story (aka meeting a handsome stranger you wanna get involved with but then the story immediately ignores that and keeps going like a slice of life). Just as the character personalities. They come off as shallow and simple since we are not introduced to them properly, we just get thrown at them without any info. The little personality that they have is simple and nothing new (to a seasoned reader anyway) and they often come off as random, which may not be the character's fault but rather the writer's. Which brings me to the biggest fault here: The writing is half-assed in specific aspects. Within 4 chapters only, and I am merely talking about the start here, we had 2 or 3 moments that seemed to randomly jump or bring up things that did simply NOT happen before but the pages read as if they were connected to something. If it wasn't shown but the comic pretends it has happened, it simply comes off as random, is confusing as hell and can just ruin immersion greatly. Which is something that's simply not a good thing to do. I know some younger/less experienced readers may not care about this, but this is a huge writing fault which I hope the author learns to fix. I'm simply not interested after encountering this issue more than once, in such a short time and in so much as the start of the story. The supposed connection they suddenly had with talking and laughing never happened and it is too much to put on the reader. You need to enphasize emotions and make a connection clear. Otherwise the random boner moment he has in chapter 4 (which was VERY random) makes no sense to the reader even if it makes sense to you as the writer. Common rookie mistake but something very important to look out for when writing since this can be a make or break for readers. Especially when you ask for money per page, which most comics nowadays are. All in all I am simply not interested. There is too many issues and too little rewards for me personally. Again, younger/less experienced (with good writing) type of readers may not care about these things but seasoned readers with a standard for writing may very well be bothered by this. If at least the characters were interesting I could keep going and maybe endure the bad writing issues, but they are simply too basic and bland for that. I wouldn't per se say this is a bad read (maybe it gets better after a dozen or so chapters?), but it's not a good one in my book either due to the writing and lack of interest in the characters. I gave it 10/11 chapters but nothing changed my impression. Art isn't able to carry either so I suppose this depends on personal standards, preferences or simply how little you care about flaws being there/how well you can ignore them. Give it a try if these things may not bother you. Or if you think they can be ignored. Trying doesn't hurt after all.
