This would also make a great video game and/or animated series!
This rating is mostly just because I liked the art style and character designs and ...general feel of this. The plot ...not so much. I'm noticing this trend with Black Mask comics that they all have really great ideas but seem to only want to put out a single volume [and usually only four issues] for things, and I'm just baffled by that because it's really never enough time to tell a complete story. This could have been a really great if they would have put out even one or two more volumes, but
Apparently a bunch of these other readers didn't like it, but I don't know what they're talking about. I was really into this. It starts with our heroes at a school for magical girls where we learn that their magic is tied to/channeled through gems that are associated with the weapons they use, and then we see them transform Sailor Moon-style and have a practice battle. Later they learn suspicious shit is happening at the school and in the nearby city, and they get embroiled in it.I really liked...
This story was incredibly disjointed, lacked world building, and most momentum.
So I really loved the character designs and art, even the diversity of the girls, but I’m a little confused by the plot. The narrator was autistic and only communicated through text message. She would have panic attacks and it was kind of just brushed off by the other girls. They weren’t friends initially but after they all escaped detention, they seemed like a group of besties all a sudden. I think it was too short and it didn’t have enough time to elaborate and expand the story. They all have
The only redeeming part of this book is the fact that one of these main characters is autistic and it’s done pretty well. And the cover art by Annie Wu. World building, plot, writing? All terrible. I don’t know who the fuck all these characters are or what the fuck is happening or why the fuck it’s happening. What is this school even about? What is the point? Why do these girls go there? What the actual fuck is up with these bugs? Who’s this lady helping them? Why is every fight scene a disastro...
I honestly don't care that the initial ratings aren't great, because autistic magical girl.
