Fumetsu no Anata e

This review is my first, take good care of me. SPOILERS AHEAD




This is the only manga I read through in a month (Or 1-2 weeks) with no pauses, so it's pretty great.

The story is near the end I think, since there is a big change in the era.

Because I've read this very fast, there are some plotholes for me that I don't understand.
-First one: Pyoran, she is probably my favourite one of the vessels/characters, she got ressurected by the creator of Fushi/Immo. And then what? I was expecting her to be with Fushi.
-Second: Rynn, Now Gugu deserved her to be ressurected. I hope we get to see that in the last few chapters

Honestly I can't write a review, but I really feel good after reading this. It's rewarding, and unique. Only a few manga could do this to me.

for real though WHAT HAPPENED TO PYORAN

I have been pleasantly surprised by reading this. At first, it was because it was the work of author of Koe no Katachi, and I just came across of it by accident. But the storyline really drew me in and so I have read.

The first chapter itself is very unique and it shows the aura, the pace and what type of story it will be: filled with loss and tragedy, but also becoming human and learning how to be one. Because, you see, our main protagonist is actually a sphere that's adaptating to it's surroundings. First, it was an orb, then it became rock, then it became a wolf, and finally... a human. But does it know how to act or be one? No. Without someone to teach him, he can't become human. Luckily, they come across people in their wanderings. First, it was a wolf called Johann. Now he is Fushi, taking appearance of the nameless boy whose form it took to be human.

The thing is, there are many things left unsaid. Who is actually the one who created the orb now known as Fushi? What are their enemies and what do they want? But in between, we see a lot of different cultures and tribes and human settlements - the character circumstances and their lives. Considering Fushi is immortal, he can't die.


Art is highly detailed, visually stunning and I love how the author drew Fushi's emotions as they were learning of them and going through everything so far.

This is not a beautiful story - rather, it's tragic, very very cruel and frightening. You cannot expect everyone to live happily ever after and the story itself is divided into arcs in which Fushi learns more and more - both about themselves and of what it takes to be a form with feelings and emotions.

Of course, the other characters did not disappoint either. All of them have an impact on Fushi, and all of them are strong in their own way. For the record, there are a lot of wonderful female characters that I do appreciate (considering that I absolutely despise how 90% of females act in media across the world) and these are tolerable.


Final grades:
Story: 8/10 - could use more explanations soon, but it's getting there. More and more we learn something new.
Art: 10/10 - gorgeous sceneries, beautiful and detailed artwork.
Characters: 9/10 - well developed and round up, with their own pasts and ambitions
Enjoyment: 9/10 - it isn't long and it's definitely the one that makes you wanna read more.

Overall: 9/10 - Overall, gorgeous manga, but definitely not for the faint of heart.

The manga should've stopped after Chapter 116.

Everything that happens after Chapter 116 should've been a spin-off.

I would given the manga a solid 9, if it wasn't for the post-116 chapters.
Chapter 116 was a great ending and should've stayed that way.

Now for everything before chapter 117...
[SPOILERS]

Story:8
Very unique premise.
The main character starts of as a semi-conscious rock made by a higher being.
Ends up turning himself into a wolf after it dies.(we later find out he can turn himself into anything he feels a strong emotional connection towards, he learns to control this ability and also learns to [create] stuff)
Overall very gripping and emotionally driven. Shounen with some psychological elements mixed in.

Art:9
The art is like what you would expect of the author of Koe No Katachi

Characters:9
The most interesting part of the manga imo.
The characters feel very similar to Fire Punch by Tatsuki Fujimoto.
They are weird in a mostly non-cliche way.

Enjoyment: 4
This would've been a 9 if it wasn't for the post-116 chapters which I feel are like one big filler.

The manga can be quite "weird" at times, but overall I'd say it's a worthwhile read. (pre-117 at least)

The content is great and interesting. The art is very beautiful. The character's feelings change through the story, it's very realistic. Although it make readers sad sometimes, there are some funny situations. I can say that this manga is very promising and exciting. SPOILER: the story about the boy named Fushi (Immo), throughout the story, it is the development of the boy, from mosnter to becoming a human. On his adventure, he met a lot of friends, there are people who love him and there are people who hate him and using him as a tool. He learned how to speak fluently and how to become a proper human. He learned what is love and what is hate. When the time came, he fought with all he got and saved people. He realized he don't want to see people dying in front of him, though he is an immortal, he used to not know what death is. This is why this manga is very unique and outstanding.

A pretty good manga if you end it at around chapter 100 (Modern day arc) would have given it a whopping 8-9/10 even if art was somewhat flimsy.

Story 5/10

The story by itself is fantastic - drama(check), supernatural(check),seinen(check),shounen(sadly a check here too).
Originally it's a shounen manga but while it contained and contains naivety it's started out as mysterious dark and grimm (would not expect from shounen), scenes of violence and etc. Some philosophical inducing questions are questions and are arisen. Development of the story goes on without the end, you just don't see it stopping for the reader idle moments are usually time skipped (time skips vary from days to centuries). There simply doesn't seem to be a place for filler chapters.
While i did see some inconsistency and plot holes but i didn't see any major flaws right up until capital Arc and so forth.

Story is about a being a sphere to be exact that with a touch of blood of a wolf awakens and turns in to that wolf with no memory no knowledge simply animalistic instincts with fast regeneration and thus this story begins...A supernatural being with the power to transform to dead creatures that it touches and ability to regenerate quite fast.
Story starts with full on drama and tragedy it hits you from the start but then after some time it's becoming more comedic more shounen like and after some time it suddenly becomes more shounen comedy supernatural with drama and tragedy being a background noise or at least after seeing serious and engaging notions it becomes comedy so any drama after that becomes a JOKE!

Art 7/10

It's good but well you see that from a far art is well made background looks gorgeous but when you have a close up for characters they seem more sketch like, generally speaking it is acceptable because there are many things happening in one panel (various action scenes that are detailed). Panel placement is up to standard but as for speech bubbles i didn't get confused much but lack of pointers of whose speaking was present (maybe due to scanlator i dunno)

Character 6/10

Characters are fun to see they seem like thought through at the start right till middle point......
Our Main here at the start is literally a newborn and watching it grow is amazing but at some point we might start to see authors inclination to make our hero stagnate or degrade even in later chapters (reason being maybe due to it being a shounen so editor might have restricted author).
Next up are our supporting cast they are all mostly teens or kids when we meet them at the start and we actually see them grow which is amazing to see but like i said modern day Arc simply destroyed a hell lot of things for this build up and suspension went up like puff instead of bang.
A lot of characteristics are shounen like with crazy, whimsical and naive personality but that a lot becomes more and more dominating as the story goes on characters becoming more and more childlike or at least for shounen age group auditorium.

Enjoyment 6/10

This was a nice train ride for me if i were to say destination from A to B was majestic but starting from B to C we may start to see more and more bumps and my enjoyment subsided more and more until i went from making it one of my favorite mangas to mediocre at best if it ended before modern day arc i would actually rate it better but still quality drop is a big let down it grades down little by little from the starting chapters from something fun to read to something painful to read.

Overall 6/10

All in all it's a good read.
I would advice, for now to stop reading it after chapter 115 even before that it was dropping quality but at least it ended on a bittersweet tone which would compliment how it started opposed what you would see until chapter 136 (and maybe so forth).
I think author gon an opportunity to be serialized and due to it being Shounen Magazine after each volume editor guided author to change course from more mature theme to more childish theme it's a saddening fact where you see your favorite heroes degrading little by little.
I hope that this arc will be regarded as a joke or that they will change course since it was a big let down for me seeing something great becoming ever more mudded with silly antics.

Hello, this is my first review. So far, I've made it to chapter 22. Hopefully, my review won't have spoilers.

(POSSIBLE SPOILER? HEADS UP ON WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT)

First, some heads up on what you can expect. Heavy tragedy, more of storytelling through pictures, but that's only because of main character as he/she/it doesn't talk much. IMO, this manga is kind of like a collection of one-shots that come together. So do keep in mind about this, it's like there are several mini arcs.

(POSSIBLE SPOILER? DONE)


Story 8/10
The story was a bit slow at first, but what kept me gripping on was wondering what will happen next? You are left with little information at the start, even the description of the manga is vague. You want to know what happens, right? What is this manga about? Overall, the story is pretty good right now, but there are too many questions unanswered. I may change this later as this manga could be the kind of manga that just uses this as an element in the story.

Art 10/10
I absolutely love the art! Some of the character designs aren't my taste, but I still like the art. The art is... kind of like a realistic sketch, and then the characters' faces have a more cartoony(?) look. I really like how the
effects are drawn too.

Character 8/10
First, the main character. He's a blank canvas at the beginning, but over the chapters, you can clearly see he's growing. Next, the other characters, despite the time limit with each character, I grew attached to them very quickly. You get to know the past, present and personality of each secondary character as each "mini arc" progresses. The secondary characters seem a bit stale though, as I'm starting to see the resemblance between all of them, perhaps it's just me.

Enjoyment 10/10
This is my new obsession, haha. I wanted to look for something good to
read and now I want to find a similar manga! I actually wanted to come here for recommendations. Except, all I found on MAL was auto recommendations ._.;;;;. I'm sure I've read something similar before, but that would require me to search through hundreds of unfinished and finished manga. If I do happen to come across something I find similar, I will try to remember to recommend it! The thirst to find out what exactly is happening made me go through them quite quickly, I was disappointed to see there weren't more chapters translated.

Overall 10/10 Everything comes together really well! I hope this manga becomes more popular in the future! This manga will definitely be going on my priority reading list!

This review comes from someone who only started enjoying manga recently, but watched a lot of anime. There isn't really anything bad I can say about this manga, there is a lot of tragedy here, so if you are of weak heart, don't read this. However, the character development is great, the art is fantastic, and the story has a steady flow with lots of unexpected surprises to be seen. I got goosebumps reading this manga every few chapters, and that doesn't happen often with any one manga. I would highly recommend to read this manga, at least the first 20 chapters as the story has a weird start. I can almost guarantee you'll be hooked into the story with a 'I wanna know what's gonna happen next' type of thought. Have fun reading :)

This review might contain light spoilers.

For some reason, I have a hard time liking Ooima Yoshitoki's works. The details in To Your Eternity are beautifully drawn (although I'm not a fan of her art style), and she is able to immerse you into her story's interesting world, with her many diverse characters, but I don't think this is my kind of story. I feel like she's overusing tropes that bring sadness and emptiness into the readers. There's nothing wrong with a story that makes you cry and think deeply about life; in fact, I love them, but, to me, this kind of story where the main character goes on a journey in which tragedies are used for the sake of the main character's development is not interesting enough for me. This story seems to mostly move forward with tragedies and unexplained supernatural moments, with some human bonding and growth on the side. I know the main point of her story is probably for the readers to appreciate the beautiful part of life, such as friendship and love, as well as the sorrowful ones, like grief and greed, I guess, but I didn't enjoy her manga like I thought I would.

The other issue I have with the story is that the mysteries just continuously add up without any answers or hints. That's fine, many series do that, but I think there comes a point where there is supposed to be some development in that aspect - and we still don't get any of it even after 60 chapters: we just continue to see people dying and some certain problematic characters following the main character around. I don't know if the plot eventually develops in the later chapters, because it might be the kind of story that goes with the flow and doesn't necessarily lead anywhere. Some people might enjoy that kind of thing, but I am not one of them when it comes to taking advantage of dramatic situations all the time to bring intense feelings into the readers, without having a concrete reason there.

One last thing is that the antagonists of the series are just... weird. The hooded entity is probably not a human, so it's okay if he's odd, but that one psychopath has nothing interesting about them. The only thing is that they're obsessed with the main character, and that's all there is to them, so much that it's ridiculous and boring. Otherwise, most characters in the story are engaging enough, especially Gugu, the true MVP of this story.

It's another potential masterpiece from the creator of Koe No Katachi!As a disclaimer, this is my first review.

First of all, the story starts off with a clear and simple concept which is later developed and becomes more and more intricate with more details explained. As a weekly reader, I can honestly say the story is interesting and leaves you wanting more and more... Though, I have to warn you it has it's fair load of feels
as it is a tragedy. The story is suspenseful and emotional although it doesn't rely heavily on plot twists, when they're used they're logical. The story itself is moving at a steady pace and chapters aren't wasted.The story makes me think about what makes someone human is it your environment or your genetics?
I give it a 9/10 since I feel the story can still be improved...


Art: The art is great, it suits the manga's story style and it looks realistic to a certain extent.


Character:
Well, this category is quite hard. The characters so far are mostly likeable except in some instances where they come off as selfish.The main character, Fushi, grows as the story does and slowly starts to resemble a human mentally.

Enjoyment:
The story makes me feel a wide range of emotions and is awesome in my opinion.I enjoyed reading it a lot.

Overall:
This manga has a good story to tell and tells it well. I highly recommend it.

Before you read this manga, you need to know why you want to read manga.

If you simply want to be entertained and expect a good laugh, this manga is DEFINITELY NOT for you.

On the other hand, if you want to know the importance of life and values with a bunch of ANNOYING ONIONS in nearly every chapter then this is DEFINITELY FOR YOU.

The best indicator of you loving or hating this manga will solely be based on the "1st chapter"
1) LOVE IT? Keep reading
2) HATE IT? Stop reading
3) LOVE IT, but hate the fact that you just cried on the first chapter? I don't know man... I was on your spot... If I were you, I would continue to give this manga a shot. But please expect more ONIONS and prepare TISSUES.

Story: 10 (Real smooth, with tons of thoughts)
Art: 9 (I didn't like the art of 聲の形, but I see a lot of improvements in this new manga series)
Character: 10 (We can see growth and distinctions from different characters)
Enjoyment: 9 (I give it a 9 because it makes me cry (-1), but death is a part of life.....)
Overall: 9.5 (If I reflect on a manga I just read, I give it a high score. Also, -0.5 for wasting a ton of my tissues)
