- STORY (9.4)

PROS: - Miura was able to deliver on basically every front; a brilliant story
of vengeance, love, loneliness, and self-realization, driven by epic
battles and introspective dialogues that never fail to add more
details to his already intricate world, without missing out on more
light and funny moments.

- The plot moves from Gothic Horror to High Fantasy with
incredibly smooth transitions and reasoning.

CONS: - Sometimes, the plot relies too heavily on the abstract nature of the world, driven by such things as fate and causality.

- The third half of the story loses a little momentum focusing on
less central events.


- ART (9.5)


PROS: - Insanely detailed panels with tremendous attention to detail,
to the point where even secondary characters are incredibly
recognizable.

- The monster design is one the most original and fascinating I've ever
seen in any fictional work.

CONS: - Due to the sheer amount of details Miura and his team like to put
into this manga, some fight scenes might be a little cluttered,
resulting in being slightly confusing at times.


- CHARACTER (10)


PROS: - In my opinion, the most impressive part of the work. A relatable cast haunted by various personal conflicts going on within and outside
them.

- Villains are often driven by understandable reasons making every
new encounter fresh and exciting.

CONS: - The occasional one-dimensional character.


- ENJOYMENT (10)


PROS: - Everything, It's just a fun and bloody satisfying read.

CONS: - The dreadful Miura hiatus between new chapters.
