Bougyaku no Kokekko

The best part about this manga is the concept, honestly.
I mean, people turning into human eating chickens? Sign me up. The fact I read Fourteen by Kazuo Umezo (1990) also played a big part in it. The MC in that manga was chicken George after all.

Sad to say, other than the premise and very few scenes sprinkled throughout the manga got me interested in the final product.

The art style doesn't lend itself to be able to present horrifying gore.
Neither is the comedy that good in it, especially as the story kinda drags on for too long.
The story is also terrible and only 1 plot point where the backstory of a villain and the purpose of the chickens is revealed was amusing.

I only recommend this to people who like mediocre manga to laugh at for whatever reason you might have or if you need more chicken in your life!

(PS. Go read the story of Chicken George iin the manga Fourteen instead you plebs!)

Story (4):
This is our average Zombie-type Apocalypse, but instead of zombies we have giants chickens. The plot is very straightfoward, MC must save his brothers and sisters when all the adults became chickens.
This manga have a very weird passing and sometimes the story skip some stuffs.
The ending is rushed in a point MC get healing powers and start to heal deadly wounds. I'm joking a little here, but I guess the mangaka didn't had the time to deal with the ramifications of the characters being wounded so he basically forgot about it.

Art (5):
The characters are draw a little inconsistent. The human characters are draw in three types:
Toddlers - They are draw very chibi and weird. They really look like from a different manga.
Adults - I guess the mangaka wanted to go with "adults are evil", so they are draw very creepy. They remind me the weirds faces that Onizuka from GTO does.
Teenagers - Like the average manga characters.

The background, most of the time, is just a real life photo black and white.

A very important thing to mention about the art is how it got worse with time. In the first chapters everything is very detailed, but the last chapters stuffs looks like a bunch of scribbles.
Apparently this was caused because the gore was making some people uncomfortable. Sadly, this really damaged the art of the manga.

Characters (3):
Most of characters are forgettable and/or useless. They are basically a waste of cast, but let's talk about 3 of them.

Tora: the mangaka, for some reason, really want to paint him as a bad guy. It even a little infuriating because he is apparently the only one capable to do the smart decisions.

Aki: she's the token girl, therefore she's useless. She's just here because I want to mention the scene which she slap Tora because he kill a guy who tried to rape and kill her. Yes, we are dealing with this type of person.

Yuu: He's the Main Character (MC). And he's a Emiya Shirou, in other words he want to save everyone include the guy who tried to rape and kill his sister. To be honest, I hate this type of character in this type of story.

Enjoyment (5):
It was nice in the beginning like any manga, and as the story goes you start to see the flaws. I mostly liked because I like Zombie-type Apocalyptic stories, but it's really not worth it.

Overall (4+5+3+5 = 4.25 = 4):
Very cliche story, bad written with a rushed ending.
Terrible characters and a ok designer.

Well the premise sounds nuts. But it gives away exactly what the manga is going to be like: an horror story with comedy elements. The horror aspect is played out both physically (the chickens murdering everyone are brutal) and psychologically (the scenes with a particular antagonist). The comedy is pretty on the face and absurd and delivered mostly through the art, but man I loved it.

Story: 7/10
The ridiculous premise and the way it all developed was overall great. The ending (or the final arc, to be precise), kinda drags down the score for me. I'd have enjoyed it more if they didn't go that route.

Art: 9/10
Damn the art was great. The children and the teens were drawn in a very shonen style, whereas adults were given the seinen treatment. The art at times reminded me of "I am a Hero", because of how expressive it is. While the protagonists were mostly drawn in the shonen style, the experience as a whole felt very unique.

Character: 8/10
Now I'm debating whether I should give it a higher or a lower score. Some of the characters have non-existing personalities, but man... Tora goes through a whole psychological transformation that's written incredible well and man! It. Was. Great. I feel like the author took the wrong turn at the end of the series with some of the decisions, but that doesn't take away much from what we have seen. Tora feels very very real and I think he alone is enough to warrant this high of a score.

Enjoyment: 9/10
I went in having very very very low expectations and honestly I got a very fun experience out of it. I wish it was longer so I could keep on reading it but I'm satisfied with its length.

Overall: 8/10
If you're into horror, this is a good read. Even if you're not, this could be a very unique experience. I highly recommend this manga.

well, the manga is Fooking weird but really fooking good. well, it has kinda good character development and the monsters and hell on earth plot were really new and fresh I really really love it but I didn't feel satisfied with the ending. I hope there is a 2nd part coming out in the near future. Ended (Still Garbage asf)

well the story was really good and something new and fresh

the art was something else you have to see it too know it

the character is good and has a good pace in the story

I give a high recommendation to read it
