Oh, look what we have here...?

I've been browsing mangafox.com today since there's nothing to do besides homework and writing that needs finishing. Look what I found..

 Apparently, there's a manga with a tittle that's similar to my username

It's a oneshot written by Kano Yasuhiro-sensei about a guy named Jean(?), a sole heir of a mountain of fortune and even a big ol' mansion, who experiences the same scene over again for a whole hundred times - the scene being his own death. Tired of dying for the umpteenth time, he grows determined to get himself out of this endless loop. 

Well, that's more less what the synopsis would look like.

[Anything below may contain spoilers. Beware]

The manga starts with an amount of gore; blood, daggers, grunts, thing like that. Then slowly progresses into the plot. We meet two more characters and learn about the 5 baddies who used to be Jean's buddies. 

Personally, I think the art was a 6/10. Okay, maybe a 7.2 because of this:

  A---nyways!


The plot was... eh. No offense, but it wasn't all that compelling. The general idea was great, don't get me wrong! It's just that the way the mangaka pulled it off wasn't very good. A manga like this needs more depth and it seems that Kano-sensei couldn't make it happen with just a oneshot. 


The real culprit behind the baddies was fairly predictable. Guess who did it? 


[-SPOILER-]


Surprise, surprise! The butler did it! ヽ(ー_ー )ノ


The ending didn't struck me in awe, but... as cheesy as it is, I appreciate the hint of romance the mangaka incorporated into it. All in all, I give the manga a 3.8/5.
