Wolfgang's manga / #Monster(2)

things got way more interesting when the familiars were introduced, now it's actually cool action/gore with an eerie aura the whole sexualizing kids things is really gross tho and I have to scroll past that one part of the story around chapter 22 so I can get back to the supernatural...really killed the cool buildup ok so I finished and- Im surprisingly not mad at the ending. I actually felt satisfied and the shitty reason for doing all those shitty things made sense. I'm a little confused on the whole power structure but it didn't matter cuz it's not like you had to really understand the world's rules to enjoy it. This manga would've been 10/10 would recommend to my friends if it wasn't ecchi or had children get involved with adults sexually because the emotions are so raw and powerful, the gory art's insanely cool, and the characters (specifically souichi and osamu) felt really detailed and complex. I'm gonna rate it 4 stars cuz it kinda slacked at the beginning and when we met the other sister (cuz she was too surface level to be interesting) but otherwise I really enjoyed reading it.

Finished it ;-; I'll miss it for sure the art's super ugly-creepy but every 1/20 panels are kinda cool to look at and I like the core idea of the story so Ig Im still reading after the triple h fight (~30) when Jagasaki recenters his desires around bell, manga became a lot more calm which I like. The mc is becoming more pure imo by indulging in things like romance and only fighting to survive but the simultaneous decay of triple h into their cultlike insanity keeps it fun to read. Caught up at 157 and I gotta say after all the heartache, loss, tragedy, suffering, depression, existential crises and such, it's really nice how belle-chan saved jagasaki. It was wholesome and really in character. Sure it seems a little shounen-y but "hero" mc who is in the middle of contemplating his role in the world, his effects of society, if he's good enough, what happiness is etc. vs his girlfriend who has stayed herself since ch.1 coming in with her simplest desire as a reason for him to continue living is a really satisfying solution. I think I'd hate if Jagasaki just came out of winning the fight a worse, more hateful person than before. Now he's white symbolizing purity :) Ending was kind of rushed but Norman was just a good villain and Jagaan had already gone through all his development after him so ig it makes sense.
