Review Route End. I will put a spoiler tag below.

I'm having trouble finding anything positive about this manga. I read every single chapter trying to find something, after reading all those overwhelmingly positive reviews. I mean with such a high score, you would think it was at least half decent!

Art : 3/10.
Ugly characters, very basic background, faces all look the same. Not even pleasant to lay eyes on. There are some parts where you can tell the artist had no idea how to draw feet, eyes, action. It was amateurish and I'm being polite. I forced myself to read the 8 volumes. With such awful art I regret everything.

Characters :
All they do is cry and scream. The story is about suicides and murders, obviously I didn't expect any super happy moments but it's just misery from chapter 1 to 54. There's no saving Grace, nothing redeemable.

Story :
This is my biggest problem. It's supposed to be a police, detective story. It pretends to be realistic but there's a big SUPERNATURAL element that disrupts the police investigation and is never explained. The police work with finger print, blood taxes, DNA, evidence. But it's all out of the window once you introduce supernatural elements in the mix.

**** Now SPOILER below !!! ****

The police are like "the 2 victims are twins, oh no they're triplets! Oh but the same guy with the same DNA is alive, they're quadruplets actually!!"
Sorry but it felt like a big asspull by the author. Then it's never explained who this guy actually is out came to be, though he is the central pivot for the whole plot! Worse, he just called himself God.

Then a 30 year time skip, that guy comes back and everyone looks like they barely aged 15 years max. The end. No explanation, nothing. What a conclusion!!!
And you have reviews praising it as the best story-driven manga!?!

*** End of spoiler ***

Enjoyment : none.
It was really just me forcing myself to understand why do many liked the story. I found no pleasure in it. Just felt miserable from beginning to end.Would not recommend it.

3/10
