This review covers until chapter 118. I'll submit another review perhaps when this manga is finished.

Story: 7/10

Terra Formars's Story isn't the strong point of the series, as it follows a simple sci-fi setting of "Send soldiers to another planet to kill monsters" , but, while the setting isn't that amazing, It's worth to say that it is nicely done, and it can attract both casual and more selective readers. As the series progress, some misteries start appearing, and currently there are a lot of elements without a proper answer. But, Still keeps the manga interesting enought.

Art: 10/10
One of the strongest points for Terra Formars, is that the art is simply superb, weapons, vehicles, the landscape, explosions, the fights, the characters, even animals are well-drawn, not only it's artistically good, but it feels as if the combat was happening in front of your eyes.

Character: 9/10
Where it may not have the most well developed characters or with profound motifs, it delivers a pack of Charismatic people from everywhere in the globe. Not only Japanese characters, but Americans, Germans, Chinese, even Mexicans are part of the crew. And they're pretty tought too, but even if they have more power than the average human, this manga doesn't go easy, a lot of characters die, quickly, if you think someone is going to die, well, it's probably going to die on the next page.

Enjoyment: 10/10
This manga is incredibly enjoyable, from having quotes from the Bible, to provifing scientifical information about rare animals on earth, and even scientific explanations to answers, all of that mixed with overflowing action and superb art.

Overall: 10/10
it's not your everyday shounen manga, you'll see people dying gruesome deaths here, a lot of action, the enemies are fearsome, characters from the bottom of the society that went to mars to trying to fix their lives. And you'll end up digging enciclopedias for more information about the stuff going on here.

As an aditional coment, some people say that Terra Formars is Racist and Sexist. That's FALSE.

The Terra Formar Roach design is based on the Homo Erectus, if you google pictures of the Homo Erectus and compare them with the Terra Formar; they have the same face, hair and skin color. Also, there are no displays of racism by the author, as it included characters from a lot of nationalities, and they pretty much work together as equals...to overcome the fearsome roaches.

Others say Terra Formars is sexist, that's FALSE too, maybe a lot of women die in terra formars...but a lot more men died, actually, pretty much every human dies, the roaches kill anyone despite their sex or nationallity. Plus, there are women like Michelle, Eva, Yaeko, Kanako and Xi Chun-Li who can put up a fight with anyone.
