This first part of the reviews does not contain spoilers AFTER THE FIST ANIME SEASON. The visuals don’t stand out from other mangas, except by very few panels. I particularly don’t like the art style. With several super-smart children in an orphanage, the story begins weirdly normal until they find out that they are not waiting for adoption but are in fact cattle, waiting to be killed and served as food. After that, the cat and rat games became the central part of the story and It is, by far, the best part of the entire manga. The thriller and mind-games don’t let you stop reading, you always want to read one more chapter. My score for the first three arcs: >- `Story: 91 ` - `Characters: 82` - `Visuals: 69` - `Enjoyment: 96`
84/100 This manga starts with some great dark story, but, after the second/third arc, it starts to gradually lose quality, until It gets completely garbage in the three last arcs. The amount of unbelievable and improbable things that start happening is out of this world, and those improbable events keep happening one after another, again and again, nonstop until the very last second. From the middle to the end, I only keep following this just to know how the author will be able to keep shitting on the work that once enchanted me. Here is an image that represents this manga. SPOILERS AHEAD!!! Emma’s blind optimism and selfish behavior are immense. Putting all her friends at risk, betting their lives on some idealistic outcome. And one of the worst parts of it is that everyone suddenly changes their minds, going from “WE NEED TO KILL ALL DEMONS AND EAT THEIR FLESH TO AVENGE OUR DEAD FRIENDS” to “Yeahh let’s help Emma with her impossible plan to save all demons while risking the lives of all of us!!! ”. To finish it all with a suitable end to this trashcan on fire, all end with a flawless victory to the idealistic, utopic plan with the only consequence introducing no real punishments for Emma's absurd wish. As the good part of this manga, it’s only the first three arcs, my score is HUGELY influenced by the other eight arcs. > - `Story: 55` - `Characters: 58` - `Visuals: 69` - `Enjoyment: 56` "why giving it an above 50 score if it is so bad?" The most part of the story is actually enjoyable, no that good, but enjoyable, with the arc that the first season of the anime adapts, the golden pond arc(they skipped this arc on the anime second season), and the lost children alone, by them selfs, making choices to survive. It's also entertaining to see the trashcan on fire with your favorites characters changing personalities for no reason along with numerous Deus ex machina moments on the three last arcs. I highly recommend not to read or watch it after the first anime season adaptation and if you accept my advice here is a summary to save your time.

Weird and different

The visuals are very inconsistent, with the characters changing their appearance on every panel, but it isn't bad by any means. I particularly don’t like the art style.

The story starts in a post-apocalyptic world, that is covered in snow and with two brothers, Agni and Luna, who have regenerative power and some romance between both of them. They are saved by some villagers that are on verge of death with no food because of the extreme weather. Agni with your strong regenerative powers feeds the villagers with his arms that always grow back. And now the creative ways of using his power shown as a great part of the story, and honestly this is the main reason why I continued reading It.

One day a plane appears in the skies and land at the small village, bringing troops from a city. The troops are looking for supplies and slaves, but everything changes when the leader of the group finds out that the villagers are cannibals. Disgusted, the leader who has the power to make flames that never die, throw on fire the village, killing all villagers, except Agni that stays alive, on fire, regenerating and burning in endless agony. And in agony, he sees her sister who has a less powerful regeneration, dying.

Few years of agony later, he starts to endure the pain and finally gets up, full of hate, wanting to kill the man who did it to him and his loved sister.

Through the path for his revenge, he finds some freaks and discovers that the world he is in is broken ass fuck. And that is when the manga kinda loses Itself, with a bunch of random meaningless violence, and weird broken minded characters, without objectives. In my opinion, a pointless attempt to make It seem different and innovative. At first, shown as been kinda realistic post-apocalyptic manga, but it fades away with all this nonsense.

As the story progress, the main character also broke as everyone, and with all years without developing his brain, he becomes a tall and strong man with a childish brain. With his childish mind, he does what every teenager does, shit. In the middle of his great revenge, and heroic time, he ends up killing a bunch of people e discovering that the guy who has killed his loved sister changed. Now, feeling guilty and sorry for every bad thing he did, and tries to save lives to compensate for the lives that he took.

From the middle to the end, the manga gets great with the broken main character and story, especially Luna or someone that looks like Luna. A character gives some hints about the powers the people have, but it ends up not being helpful to explain all the powers since everybody is an ultra-religious freak, all the information becomes unreliable.

The ending, in my view, is the best possible, showing a conclusion to the love that started everything and letting a bunch of questions without a definitive answer, which suits the weird plot.
