This manga was definitely not the best I've read, but it still had some elements that made it stand out. The characters are deep and complex. Their characters and personalities grow as the story progresses. You see them grow and change. You see them through triumphs and failures. You find out who is good at heart and who is not. The plot is compelling. In these regards, it is very good.

The stories dark aspects are a strong point but also a weakness. It will definitely shock you, but I think some of it is overdone. The amount of rape that goes on in is over the top. It seems like the female characters always end up naked or in see through clothing, with someone either about to rape them or being raped. Constantly. Every woman in the story has a perfect bubble butt and round tits. They have arched backs and even when laying down, perfect big globes. It seems at time like an erotica manga. I can tell you that real rape is horrifying and not nearly as erotic as the manga portrays, I think it would fit the story better if it displayed it as such. For example, *SPOILER* In the beginning when Gatt's gets raped, it is displayed as scary, terrifying, the rapist is in shadows and looks like a nightmare. *SPOILER* This is the correct way I think, to write about a rape. Yet, every female who gets raped has arched backs, big tits, bubble butt, it's made to seem very erotic instead of terrifying.
