The updates for this story was slow, but now it's caught up. I just sometimes wonder how the heck does he have enough money to support these girls. Each girl has a super power, while taking away from it's user (example: their sense of morals) In which, I enjoy most of the characters (but I can never seem to remember their names) two of them Kazumi and another girl are really easy to mix up with almost the same hairstyle. Instead of invisible hands, it's super powers that somehow deals with aliens and later into the manga, it is explained. I really like this manga, and it has the same aspects of the author's earlier work, Elfen Lied. Murakami might not be a great protagonist hell, he might not even be a good protagonist (though I like him), but he isn't weighing this manga down with his expressions. He's at least more expressive than Akiyama from Liar Game or Tatsuya from Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, and neither of those protagonists get flak for not being expressive. Honestly, with this type of tragic manga, it would be weirder if he laughed more often. He gets lost in thought, he gets angry, he cries, he gets worried when he or his friends are in danger and yells out to them in concern, he cracks jokes and, yes, he even laughed once. Murakami is the the calm, rational type of protagonist and as far as that type of protagonist goes, he is actually very expressive. It's true, he isn't as expressive as, say, Luffy from One Piece but that simply isn't Murakami's type of character. He buys food for them, provides shelter for them, and seems to be the only one who puts thought into chasing down the precious leads that I mentioned.įinally, I don't understand where all of the complaints about the main character are coming from. Also, each of the girls, despite each having a supernatural power, is seemingly helpless without the male lead. The ecchiness shows up occasionally but so far I haven't noticed anything explicit. good, I guess? (I usually don't pay much attention to the art) It has plenty of gore as well, if that's your thing. The characters are also fairly well made but, I keep hoping for some more character development. The story element, as I've said, is superb. The actual confrontations are usually short and bloody. Usually, this girl has a premonition of someone's death (often by the hands of absurdly powerful enemies) and its up to the main cast to work backwards from the premonition, solve the mystery of the death/s, and combine their limited powers to overcome the powerful enemy. There is a girl in the main cast who can see how the people around her will die in the near future. However flawed it is later, it's a very fine and creative version of the classic protective hero melodrama that few men can resist. I've read from other reviewers that the story loses steam later, but for the first 30 or so chapter it's been compelling for me, so I'm sticking with it. So anyone who wants to read this manga must be prepared to see a lot of young women suffer and probably die, because the deep desire to stop those awful acts is what motivates the smart male MC and propels his action which in turn drives the story. This story very effectively taps that desire at the very beginning and keeps the male reader chasing the goal of keeping its female "witches" alive for many chapters.Įlfen Leid tapped the same motivation, but also mixed it up with the shame-laden human urge to see blood and gore in a disgusting way which made me hate the thing. After many years of living, I'm pretty sure that built into most men is a deep drive to protect women. If a second season is announced it will most likely be said in a future manga chapter.especially if you're a guy. It's speculated that there won't be a second season, but that doesn't mean there won't. It's better to make a blog than a page, or ask on /r/GokukokuNoBrynhildr. So the anime ending is actually pretty close to where the manga is, but a lot of info was left out. The thing is with episode 13 they skipped/compressed 40 or so chapters in to one episode. There are enough chapters to make 2 or 3 seasons. Yea but even if they did dont u think i mean isnt the manga still ongoing u know maybe there getting some more material for the second season cause i mean look at all the fans they got why wouldnt they want to make for of this anime Another thing that could indicate a second season is the reception for the OVA coming September 24, 2014. I think it mostly depends on how the BD/DVD sales go and how the manga sales are affected by the anime.
