Gigant review

I know few titles of this author and his mangas are unique, a bold statement to the japanese mangaka scene but likes to show us a lot of UFO<->Sci-fi + horror and physcology of humans (not the best part of it mostly our weakest and shamefullest sides)
So when reading his mangas you should take note that this is not your daily manga but a unique one, yet Gantz and Inuyashiki share A LOT with Gigant they like copy-paste genre and world setting wise.

Story 6/10

Story wise i like it truly i do but this score is because this author doesn't change his pattern (at least with 2 more titles). If you had a chance to read Gantz or/and Inuyashiki you will know where and how the story will develop (how will characters develop).
Story is a mix of absurdity, insanity, reality and fiction. This author tends to show us the dark side of humanity the vulgarity and cause and effect of media and internet anonymity to the reader, after reading this you might get an idea how exactly media and internet is a double edged sword.
Story progression here is well.... rushed at some points whilst i like mature content but not a rushed one, opposite of this is romcom where mature content is non-existent or where 1st base is your reward for reading over 100 chapters. Story progresses here is with amazing leaps only some pit stops along the way.

If you want to read something normal well you should forget about it from the story plot to the characters we will see lunatics and lunatism everywhere - UFO, Naked streaking actors, Super AI, Giant AV actres (50m and up i think), almost naked heroes who wear underwear and a helmet, vulgarity, broken people, magic people and etc.

Art 7/10

Some people might dislike it but i like it, background photo/computer rendered is much better than what you can see when everything is drawn but mangaka slacks on some background and or expressions and it becomes a total disaster in the end this, photo/computer rendering felt for me real and immersive i could empathize more clearly though while reading through tablet all seemed ok on the bigger screen it might scare you off (drawn characters on realistic background). Characters themselves seemed likeable (while some people were made ugly on purpose)
As for panel it seemed ok as for speech bubbles well a few confusing moments.

Characters 6/10

Well here we see author's bias towards people them being evil or at least disrespectful towards others (especially while anonymous, well here i actually might agree with author). Characters at least main ones are flawed (we all are but they are phycologist "dream" patients). A lot of mental moments especially Male lead ticked me off a few times being 16y old acting like he was acting in some situations but that might be just my personal dislike and disbelieve that 16y would act in such a manner but considering that this author likes to add crazy sprinkles on everything my dislike might be objective in that matter.
Character progression well it is astronomical well more like astrological you get to see characters change in matter of few days.
Supporting character actually exist but to this day they are simply to fill the hole i don't see them impacting the story simply drifting with it as for one-time characters they are actually the ones that impacted the story but after impact they disappear or return to the shadow world.
All in all characters were made with thought of them being human which is good but the biggest con is author's to make everyone just a bit crazy and prone to drama.

Enjoyment 7/10

This manga ticked me off a few times, few times it made my brain question what i'm reading but all in all i enjoyed it and read it in a few hours without much bitter sweetness (more pros than cons). Easy to read but damn it is hard to wrap your head around what author has in his mind, while reading this it felt like i'm in a head of mental patient.

Overall 6/10

Overall I enjoyed it, but i liked Gantz series and it is unique in a way especially while most mangakas follow the trends this author has his own world view (Isekai ? F no mental institution bro! Romcom harem? F no rape attempts and vulgarity to the max).
I advise to read it if you are sick of normal if you want to become schizophrenic for a moment if you want Male Lead to cover all the bases and if you want some drama otherwise turn back fellow human being this is not for your teeth!





-------------Spoilers------------------


16y high school boy with aspiration of becoming a movie director who is a major crybaby (crying constantly even in absurd situations) and 24y old av actress with problems (she needs people to need her to a degree where it is blatantly obvious she is surrounded by toxic people while ignoring it because of her love for needy. Somehow it happens that after some drama he asks her to date her she politely rejected him then he abruptly starts to scream or cry until she agrees (like wtf>?!). Well after some major cringely moments we see some normal romance i guess but the romantic start was bumpy and hellishly artificial ohhh forgot to tell you there was an old creep with a helmet and underwear strolling through Tokyo then he was struck by a car gave a watch to Female lead and bam she can become big as godzilla (she is naked). Also we have an super AI that generates humanity's wishes through the webpage (always dark wishes simply because humans are scum i guess) and due to that or 50m AV actress has some classical giantXgiant fight................and a lot more crazy stuff stay tuned
