Instead of listing the famous names that recommended this manga, I want to clearly state my thoughts about this beginning premise.

-Okay typical school setting
-Occultic science fiction shit
-What the fuck

Some of the shit we've seen in the first chapter alone can be taken extremely out of context, in which I compare this part to the random shit I've or you've seen in Fire Punch (Author was an assistant under Fujimoto).

While there isn't much to go on, I can sorta guess the route we are taking... Honestly, the first chapter was so random I wouldn't even know. I would like to think of it as some sort ... of bootleg mob psycho but this time we have more variety in the mixed.

Well besides the occultic battle premise without much to go on, the characters in particular have their potential of course to grow and mature maybe. We are introduced to a nerd and an aggressive girl that tries to prove their theories against each other, but in the end they prove each other right.

Other than that, this series gets pretty weird and creepy like it was suppose to be a one-shot parody but apparently we'll be introduced to more. So in any case, look out for more!

10/10 Occultist shit

This is a really creative story, probably one of the most creative stories out right now. The characters are funny and how the 2 protagonists interact is amazing.

but....

I have a problem with the story at the moment. it kind of feels like the mangaka doesn't know what he wants to do. Its a really creative story but everything feels rushed and like a lot of stuff is getting thrown at us.

Its not too fair to shit on the manga right now, i do expect this to pick up soon since its only on 4 chapters but at the moment I don't think this is ... a 10 or 9.

I do plan on changing my review and rating the more i read since it does look promising but rights now its a 6 more or less but its not a 10 or 9.

Yokai-Pokemon/Zatchbell x Cabin in the Woods x Mieruko Chan x Chainsaw Man x Toshi Densetsu

mfs will say <manga> is done by assistant to Fujimoto but won't be able to name the assistants themselves. Applies to Centuria too. If that is not obvious inorganic PR to promote a work while suppressing the work's creator, idk what to think of people who can't find patterns. Typical cookiecutter jump weekly shonen. TL note: Shonen means naive chunni kid

Story-4/10 Really just a Disney plot but with ecchi for the teenagers and a sob-backstory sympathizing with murderers at the end of every arc. Extremely formulaic, zero progression, it's been so ... many years and still nth character keep ing the crew and has an anthropomorphic pokemon familiar etc.(Edit: How long did it take to title drop and start the actual core arc huh? how long did it take to find balls?) .

Art- 3/10. Author only knows how to draw DETAILED cute girls often in panties sometimes getting groped, and maybe few edgy "s0ft sEiNeN" tokyo ghoul male faces. Not even the monsters are well drawn. All ghosts have looong teeth for forcing that disconcerting horror feel, most are tall like hachisakusama. The aliens are mostly horni. The environment visuals are simplistic. Like we get it you can draw a city,.

Writing- 5/10. The long term plot is terrible but on a micro-level, dialogues are good.

The only reason it's rated extra high is because CSM author promoted his assistant's work. Its CSM lite: no gore, heavy ecchi, and same endless....endless action. Arcs are beginning and ending in the fictional world within a matter of 1-2 days. Like go to school, bam! umpteenth monsta in school arc; returning home from school and bam! another new monsta arc.
All the monsters be it aliens, spirits and the rest are varied free for all everywhere and just...whatever; like the monsters in OPM and Cabin in the Woods. At least in OPM and Cabin it is relevant.

A good quarter of the chapters showcase fillery monster of the ((half) (school)) day. Whats annoying is the nested arcs. Oh, the crew has to wait for the next night to meet XYZ monster again? Why skip to the next night when you can experience a different monster arc in the morning between.

At first the Earth doesn't know about aliens, spirits and the rest; but within 20 chapters, author ran out of ideas to keep them "hidden" in that world, and so went full CSM way in normalizing XYZ monster carnage as daily society life. But unlike how in CSM that was the premise from the beginning, here it is obvious its from a lack of creativity. Normal people sees wanton destructions or super/para-normal stuff and dumb enough to forget it next chapter or write off as some trick in the mind.

Half hearted attempts to make some monsters eerily scary. Mieruko-chan is so much better in this and yet rated low because it did not have a bigwig promoting it. The scare attempts are there but always fall flat. Myriad plotholes everywhere. X monster can't physically fight in Y environment, few chapters later he can without explanation. If you don't want one single crass dickjoke get reused for the 86th time, then watch "Ore no Kokan wa Bishoujo Datta no ka" instead

Read if you prefer cute girls getting sexually assaulted for shock value or lighthearted "fun", or prefer mindless shonen *cough*WWE wrastling*cough* action every week.
