If I'm honest the first volume is pretty good, second volume had problems but still sort of interesting and the third volume starts to do pointless arcs that focuses on one shot characters that have no big pay off and having way too much screentime more than necessary, one was the yakuza arc, a dying person emphasise for a chapter for no robust reason other than to demonstrate the main characters powers and also a passenger that had screentime for 3 chapters that had no real point.Įven after volume 3 finished its arc I still felt that Oku is good at drawing and paneling in a way that's fast and extremely easy to read as he loves his double pages he's just not good at writing, as he doesn't focus on story content per chapter but emphasise on art instead example being a character getting shot for 20 pages, planes crashing for 20 pages that kind of example.Īlso another problem I have with the series is the main antagonist, the reasoning and the story arc for him felt extremely weak and also contrived that even the explanation for his action wasn't convincing and mention that he didn't want to do the opposite is due to it being a hustle, but the antagonist current action is more of a hassle so it didn't make strong sense to me.

I feel like the concepts is cool and the feel of superheroes is there and sometimes I think hey that's pretty cool. The plots do not tie to each other because transitions to each new "problem" are choppy. I understand that Inuyashiki is trying to live the life of courage and hopes to pass this trait to his son while I feel Shishigami understood the consequences of his actions when his mother took the fall (and yet he continued to kill, but that's beside the point I'm trying to make). The question is: why did he kill to feel alive? Despite all of these questions that arise, the characters are still lovable and not entirely a lost cause. Shishigami was not a complete psycho case his divorced mother deeply loves him, his divorced father keeps in touch with him, and he has a very best friend whom he naturally confides in. Their backstories contradict with who they are because of this concept: Inuyashiki gained courage to do what is right by helping people yet he was ignored by most of his family and peers.

By creating this yin/yang good-guy-bad-guy concept straight from the beginning, it is then established who would be the hero and who would be the villain with no character development. I think it's very cliche that Inuyashiki felt alive by saving people while Shishigami felt alive by killing people which is an extremely unoriginal concept.
