Character... Fair I guess. Nothing special. Pretty much like every other main hero. Lame and bland high school student with a obsessive trait. It's sorta like, you know who everyone is before they are properly introduced. Not a bad thing really, but as you know what to expect, the character development (where there is a pretty good one) becomes poof. It loses it's meaning.

The members of Rudiment, or the protagonist's team, are also a bunch of stereotypical or average guys. We have the energetic, short tempered guy who believes in friendship and has spiky hair. The quiet, intelligent, glass wearing guy who is the strategist. The short girl who had a traumatic past and looks kinda average too but loves the protagonist. The doctor is also the "older woman who drinks but can be serious" type. Then we have Neibu, who is probably the only interesting guy in the team. He is foreign, has kind of a weird hairstyle, is the leader and is really smart but isn't afraid to show his feelings for his teamates and always seems to think ahead. Before chapter 9, he is seen as a very dangerous man, someone who is linked to many deaths and also makes a scary and threatening face towards the protagonist. He never makes this face again. He also has some kind of... keychain thing? It is never explained but it is shown a lot. to explain a little about the premise. I might spoil, but most of these things are explained near the beginning. Here we have the same trope, but it takes center stage. This guy wants to kill the cutest girl in school, but he also wants her to live. So this cognitive dissonance is at the heart of the story, and what it might represent is admirable. I have just seen it so many times.

We also have the theme of death aesthetic going on. Some of the earlier seasons of America’s Next Top Model featured women being photographed like they were dead. Painted to look pretty in a tub of blood, or looking hot while drying on the sun-bleached pavement. It was weird, but apparently there’s a market for it 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just started vol. 2, and I’m getting the feeling this is going to be a Cain/Abel out of Sandman dynamic, where the girl can regenerate and sometimes lets the protagonist kill her 🤦‍♂️ awalnya kamishiro berniat mengungkapkan perasaannya kepada teman masa kecil sekaligus cinta pertamanya, hanasono mika, tapi semua berubah ketika perasaannya bercampur dengan naluri membunuh. disepanjang volume 1, kamishiro menahan diri untuk tidak berfantasi mengenai darah dan raut kesakitan hanasono. dia pikir, menghindari hanasono dan melakukan percobaan bunuh diri akan mempermudah keadaan. tapi cerita tidak berjalan sesederhana itu, ada banyak rintangan yang menanti, termasuk bertemu dan melawan orang-orang lain yang terinfeksi. Just after that, Hanazono dissapears. After her leave，he joins the organisation and teams up with three ID infectees that try to overcome their blood lust: Akito Nishihashi, Ryouko Etou, and Tatsuya Kawamura. His objective is finding Hanozono and kill her. I've enjoyed it so far, and the plot moves pretty steadily so I haven't gotten bored reading. The characters are interesting, but the story focuses much more on Kamishiro and larger plot points and action scenes rather than exploring side characters. I think it could use more side character development and more hints about the larger mysteries, but it's been a pretty good read so far.

Art 8/10 - Nice and a fine art style, definitely a redeeming feature. However, certain faces often look like clones of each other, so negative for that. The main character, Kamishiro, is in love with his childhood friend. He becomes infected with a disease which causes a person to have the uncontrollable urge to kill the one they love. The rest of the manga follows Kamishiro's journey, which I won't say any more about because that would definitely count as real spoilers. Having said that, it's also very similar to Kiseijyuu and Tokyo Ghoul; probably another half a dozen other titles with similar plot lines... Fights are easy to follow, and are just alright. They usually get a power surge from bloodlust or love.

Webtoon

It's nothing from another world, especially in parts centered in dialogue, but I might say it's, generally, above average..
