6.5

First of all, tw for really graphic torture and rape scenes in this manga. If you like the revenge story trope, this one brings it to the extremes.  I can get behind a good revenge story, especially one where the protagonist isn't afraid to get his hands really dirty- and this manga definitely delivers on that front- but I can't help but be a bit uncomfortable with how this manga treats women. The author surrounds the protagonist with girls who are interested in him, then uses them as a plot device to make him angrier by having them raped. It’s like every bad guy is an insane sexual deviant and the women are just subjected to this. It's actually a little weird how prevalent rape is in this manga.  It's gruesome for the sake of being grusome. This entire story seems like some author read a self insert revenge fantasy and decided it was too PG and ramped it up 110% to a point I sort of think is overkill. Also you can forget about realistic evil motives or multifaceted villians.  I will say the fights are cool. This manga combines battles of wits and physical fights well.

This manga is actually messed up. But as they say "sweet revenge". Even while the main antagonist are being tortured. You can't help but think "Served you right" and laugh. The story is honestly mediocre. And tbh it's a revenge candy. The main protagonist is pretty well developed considering the lack of chapters from where I'm writing this. and hes experienced some extreme trauma ngl. Not to mention the fights are actually pretty cool. There are a couple things that I don't like. Give the gramps a proper backstory. His character has a good amount of plot holes all in of itself and stuff about him really needs to be clarified. Second, why the hell does the love interest always manage to get involved with him. I don't really like "fate" but I guess they could use "fate" as an excuse as to why she always gets into his problems. I also don't really like r@pey aspects though, which the manga has a lot of. Unnecessary. Really this speaks for all manga. Wtf mangaka? Was that R@pe scene really a necessity to the story? But not considering my opinion and looking objectively, this is what someone would call above average of a manga. Overall great manga. I hope and at the same time don't hope it gets an anime.

This review was made early on in the manga (Only 19 Chapters) but i think enough has been showed for me to give my critique, may change later if i decide to pick it back up. (this is my first written review hopefully its not written to poorly)Firstly the story, a kid is bullied (more so tortured) by a group of kids daily in the attempts to push him to suicide, this leads to them killing his parents and putting his brother in a vegative state and this begins the start of his story for revenge, orphaned, the kid moves in with the granpa his parents warned him about, Turns out the granpa is learned in the ways of torture and killing being from a special unit in japan back in wartime The manga then time skips to him in highschool after learning from his granpa in those 4 years, he begins his revenge by seeking out the people from the group that tortured him and killed his family.The writing drops heavily after Ch 9 all before that was fine and interesting, the story feels like it has plot holes, it skips out on giving info, and throws things together randomly leaving  them up to just be a big coincidence, aswell as the character Azuma almost getting raped in every part of the story shes brought into, it seems shes just a tool to push the plot almost getting raped multiple times so that the mc can be brought into the picture and now the writers are forcing a relationship out of no where with her and the mc.For the plot hole, when the mc manages to take out Yuuga's bodyguards, set the building on fire and capture him how the hell did he make it out that building with a whole person and get to his home without a singleperson noticing. The show also randomly pushes Azuma into the story again by saying her friend needed help with a part time job, which just so happened to be a sex trafficing spot that Yuuga controls, RIGHT after the mc decides to start investigating him and get his revenge, which allowed him to conveniently see her picture so that he could order time with her to avoid her being bought and raped by someone else, but she still ends up almost getting raped but JUST WAIT the mc shows up and saves the day because the rapist conveniently mumbled her name right when passing by the mc on the street, such lucky timing lol.Honestly I enjoyed this manga and was eager to read more till ch 9, but it instantly dropped in quality, hopefully it picks back up later on.
