As on many other sites people keep saying that Crimson Robe is the main protagonist no he is the main focus for the first 2-3 chapters(0-2) the rest is about the true main man; Kim Hyun-Uk, the detective. "I've read 114 episodes and the main character CR is not very interesting," sure buddy calm your tits and actually read the manhwa, you'll see the transition if you don't roll your eyes so much. I hate to make this a rage review but it may seem like that, my apologies. A lot of people have this recommended if you like Death Note this is similar but it's nothing like it at all. Anyway, this is a really good manga with an interesting story and pretty cool characters the art style really isn't "normal" but it's not a main focus of the series and it does do what the best mangas do with the stupid weird distorted faces to break the tension, the best and elicit many chuckles. I don't want to fill this review with a synopsis of the series, but a review Read: yes, Multi-read: yes you might pick up something you missed the first time. It's an overall meh, but a good meh. ~SPOILERS~ Another intrepid reviewer stated, "having brutally murdered the young man he thought was responsible for the schoolgirl's suicide before realizing that the video that supposedly drove her to kill herself had never been spread after all", no the video was released, not by the young man who was physically beating his girlfriend and also secretly made the film of them having sex and blackmailed her, but by another older man who found the MP6? and released it, which drove her to commit suicide.

It reminds me of death note because the detective is trying to find the killer that leaves no trace. I couldn't read it any longer because the art looks terrible to me. Most of the people actually look like animals with this art style. I know that everyone can't be pretty but looking human should be the basic starting line. Not to mention the fact of sometimes there are stick figures being used.

This story had a somewhat interesting start, Years ago i started to read it and then it went on a hiatus. I came back to it and it had finally started up again. During that time i remember bits of it as it was unique enough, but came back to it and the later half of it really kind went to shit.  The characters start as something pretty unique to each one, and then it goes off in the direction for the first arc of the story. 2nd Arc kicks in and its slightly different pace and tempo but somewhat still fits the story well enough. 3rd Arc kicks in and it is all sorts of a mess and pretty disconjointed, and this kind of spirals out for the next few. The end of this was honestly really bad, i guess the author just ran out of what made them enjoy making this and just wanted it over with and ended it. It was really just a massive let down, and i cannot really reccomend this becuase of that. Its just such a bad ending, even Game of Thrones fans may argue this could be in the top spot for worst ending of a series. It started off unique, and ended in one of the worst way you can end this type of story. Hopefully the author finds something they enjoy doing again, because its clear they werent happy and just wanted this to be over.
