HAREM END review

I'll admit I'm moderately new to creepy manga as I was just doing a little delve into the category for Halloween, but I feel I can confidently say that "Harem End" is one of the eeriest mangas out there. I say this from the story design, which I see as horrifyingly brilliant and intriguing for the horror genre - especially when having been acquainted with anime/manga prior (which I assume all of you have). I definitely won't be speaking much at all into the elements of the story here as this manga is too much of an ongoing experience that just a mention of an aspect could ruin a good sum of the response to it's developments. All I can say to the story is that it's smart, while also a bit wild - taking in some common tropes and not exactly deconstructing them in a way one might expect. To the more technical aspects of the manga though, the art is well-proportioned, but takes a bit of a style similar to how rotoscoping appears. The style might not connect to some, but if you want to try this manga out, you best be ready for things you aren't quite comfortable with - so I wouldn't stop just because of that. The characters are all interesting, while I wouldn't exactly say deep and complex. The characters are consistent, however, and are generally coordinated to be smart for the given circumstance.

Recommendations for this manga aren't that open though, and I don't know if I'd recommend traditional horror fans to read this. This manga isn't exactly horror as it's more suspenseful and grotesquely intriguing. I was never scared while reading "Harem End" (while I should point out I don't scare easily), but I was definitely disturbed. It's kinda odd coming out of something disturbing and summing it up to an enjoyable experience as that'll definitely vary, but I do feel this manga hit hard where it meant to and will likely leave a lasting impression on me. There were no pieces of the story I felt out of place or parts that began to bore, taking note of the extra chapters. It all felt very inter-connected and designed. When bringing some smartness to the table, it also managed to be convincing while I couldn't say for sure if what these characters are set up to do checks out with reality. I would recommend "Harem End" to those that are either interested by this write-up or to those who are really open about their experiences and are ready for something quite eerie and odd to change the pace.
