Interesting. I mean, the manga itself is interesting, but it's also interesting for the context. It's a product of Jump's recent international initiatives to try to get manga from creators around the world, judging from the author name and the available languages, and the art reflects that. I don't want to say "it doesn't look like manga", since that covers Urasawa and Nagai, Me and Roboco and Blue Box, Blade of the Immortal and Blame. There's huge variety and this doesn't violate some unwritten rule. It does, however, show much more influence from European comic culture than most manga, which is neat. Gives it a different feel from the usual Jump stuff.

Hypocrisy posted:Black, the Story of Monster Syndrome Huh. That ending's even bleaker than it looks, isn't it? The protagonist dies thinking he's moving things towards a better world, but from the way the company runs, it seems likely that HOPE knows about Monster Syndrome and is encouraging it to ensure they'll always have an enemy to point at. Ironically, HERO was more of a threat than he ever could be as a monster. Even if no-one ever did anything about his complaints (and from how the pilot poo poo-talked him, it seems that at least a few people higher up were lightly sweating), just knowing they're not alone would help other workers keep going. And that isn't the goal. The factory's main product isn't the laser parts. It's monsters.
