A transfer student ends up befriending the weirdest kid in class who sits next to her.

Definitely enjoying this. It's amusing, Yugami-kun is an interesting character. Looking forward to more of his antics.

Hm. I wonder if that mystery girl with the spider shirt during the flashback will show up again.
Unless we're suppose to know who she is and I've just forgotten...

So I just decided to order all of Ultimo on a whim.
I remember reading a few chapters, years ago, and being confused.

I wonder if the full series will make me more or less confused.

im actually really confused

now we get an airhead next chapter, club pres. best girl candidate tho

Club President definitely has qualities for best girl. Maybe if the story went longer :(

And I think the twist was telegraphed way too hard but I like these sorts of stories so it was easy to see it coming / I'm secretly hoping for it all the time anyway.

Destroy and Revolution volume 1
XwR.jpg


I thought I had already seen the worst this author had to offer with Holyland. I couldn't be more wrong.
This manga is ugly, inside and outside. The character's faces never look right nor do they look consistent between a page and the next. If that wasn't enough, many times they look like some kind of mix between a goblin and a troll, especially the dude with long hair, as he reminded me of Gollum more than once.

I can get past shit drawings if the story is worthwhile or I find it interesting enough. I did it for Holyland, even if that manga ended disappointing me with its closure and certain choices made, but here I didn't really find anything worthwhile. A dude has a power that lets him remove matter from objects by focusing and closing his hand and he gained it thanks to an old man that showed him some illuminating truth. Plus the kid hates the world, but thinks killing is wrong, so he only helps his friend, who wants to become a terrorist to wake up Japan, on the ground that they don't kill people. I think this is both dumb and offensive, personally.

I can enjoy works that have a bad outlook on humanity and are badly drawn, as I love Narutaru (to me it is a masterpiece) and Elfen Lied (another manga with some shitty drawings) for example, but they have to offer me something, some interesting protagonist like Shiina Tamai, or a psychotic killer like in Elfen Lied or like Light in Death Note. The characters here aren't interesting, aren't charming, they're just ugly, inside and outside. They don't make me want to know about them, they don't make me want to know about their world.
I'm gonna give the second volume a chance and see if the story manages to actually become interesting for me, otherwise it's gonna be a drop.

The end itself, the excessive explanations and a bit too much back and forth with the MC when it felt like he had grown up psychologically only to see him fall back into his insecurities.
I liked it as a tale of growth and as a fighting manga, a flawed work in my eyes but a worthwhile read that I enjoyed despite the inconsistent art, which is why I dived right into Destroy and Revolution, but the first impression was bad.

Nothing really aside from the art. I'm just wondering when this series has it's moment of glory aka a defining part that makes it worth reading in full.
Well I remember that some stuff happening later received so mixed reactions, some people loved it, some people thought it was stupid as hell so...
