Shibatora is an average detective manga, and that is okay because this manga is pretty fluctuative in its aspects.

Story: 7/10
The story of Shibatora has its highs and lows. Some of the arcs have lazy conclusions, to the point that it is quite forced. I particularly hated the reveal and conclusion of the final confrontation of the final arc. However, I like the overall story structure and how it rarely has any plot holes. I also think the culmination of Taketora's story was kinda neat; after being blessed/cursed with the 'hands of death' throughout the whole manga, he acquired the 'hand of life' at the very end.

Art: 7/10
I think the artstyle was kinda good. I had no problems with it, but I also think its application was too safe especially at some key panels.

Character: 6/10
Obviously, Taketora Shibata is the MVP of this manga. His motives and actions were quite consistent throughout, and his OP-ness in pretty much everything except being tall was oddly compelling to see. That being said, the supporting cast was painfully average. Each supporting characters (aside from Kojiro) were only given one arc to shine, and I don't think that's enough to flesh them out. Also, the joke of Mizuki pretending to be Taketora's wife was so repetitive and was never that funny to begin with.

Enjoyment: 8/10
Idk despite all the criticisms I put against the manga, I still had fun reading it. The first 4-5 arcs were all quite enjoyable. All in all, Shibatora is a nice relaxing break from the usual masterpiece mangas.
