Terra Formars is your typical apocalyptic kind of manga.There is a constant sense of danger,death and despair in this manga however to achieve this character development is often sacrificed.While i don't like the ever present killing of characters that didn't have sufficient time to develop i however still enjoy reading this mostly because of the detail it always goes into about the different types of animal powers the characters possess and the amazing detailed art which is often gory.Don't expect an amazing story or complex characters because you wont find them here but do expect to be entertained.

Story:7 If you know what the definition of terra forming is then you can probably guess what terra formars is about.The story of terra formars goes like this,500 years ago humans sent cockroaches and mold to mars in an attempt to warm up the planet basically terra form it into a planet that's warm enough for humans to live in.And what happens next you ask well lets just say it didn't go exactly as planned,evolution is a bitch.They indeed achieved their objective of terra forming the planet but they also got unwanted inhabitants.The cockroaches they sent to mars evolved and are now intelligent proving to be be quite an adversary to mankind.

Art:9 The art in this manga is probably the best thing about it.The art is so detailed when people are being killed.Yea its that kind of manga if you don't like gore don't read this.

Characters:7 The characters are good but kinda weak.The author tends to only give massive development to characters when or before they dies.Their backstories are laid out along with what the power they gained from animals allow them to do.None of the characters on the mission to mars had a good life.Most of them went on the mission for the money so they can start new lives.I honestly don't really care for a lot of the characters that much expect for those we follow the most throughout the story.What i do like a lot are the cockroaches ,yea they are disgusting creatures but their level of intellect and ingenuity is shocking.These guys just never stop evolving.

Enjoyment:8 Despite its flaws i still enjoy reading this.I mostly enjoy the details that are given about the insects the characters use.I learned a lot about insects that i didn't know before.Did you know there is an animal that inhabits the japanese archipelago called the planaria that if cut in half will become two because of its regenerative abilities?You may have or may not know this but this is just one of the many things i learned about because of this manga.

Overall:8 While not having the best story or characters terra formars still piques my interest because of the detail of its art and the powers used by the characters.This is a pretty enjoyable series just don't think too hard about it.If you want a manga with apocalyptic setting and interesting powers then you should check this out.
