God's Child

I can't believe I enjoyed a story about a literal shit baby.

Really good

Well, that was completely insane.

before this one planetes was my favorite manga, but this is just perfect.

Hm, kinda reads like some dark, twisted fairytale.

The way it's narrated is eerily calm.

 

Not too bad.

The one commendable aspect of this series is the art, which built an atmosphere of surreal creepiness quite well, also contributing to detach the character's actions from 'normalcy'. Other than that, a huge disappointment. It's pretty grotesque, and I don't read grotesque stuff just for the sake of it; if there's a compelling character and story behind the gore, I'll stomach it. This? There was nothing worth it, and I'm pretty pissed off that I stomached all of it for nothing in the end. Especially the end, though it feels like a suitable end for such a pathetic character. The first chapter was so damn promising but, ugh. Never looking at this again.

 

Also, people who compare this to Urasawa's Monster and decide that this is a shorter version... let me give y'all a hard slap (seen this too fucking much in reviews). There's absolutely nothing in common with the two except both having murdering psychopaths. There's nothing similar with the plot, psychology, characters, their motivations and actions between the two stories.

 

(From what I've read of this author's works, this is indeed a huge departure from what they normally do. I like what I've read of them so far, excluding this work.)

..Really creepy.. o-o|| But recommended and is a masterpiece.

Interesting storyline, good artwork, great flow! I like it!

that was quite Unique for me to read....

Quite good. Story and art fit well together. Interesting story.

It's different, yes, and unrealistic, yes, but it's definitely worth reading.
I actually think it's quite amazing.

Mmm, I might be wrong but the artstyle feels more similar to a Byzantine base, which fits quite well considering the cover (An image of Christ Pantocrater being one of the most famous Byzantine works). Even if not precisely Byzantine, the link between ancient Christian art and this manga's choice of artstyle is obvious. The art is there to push forward the story.

quite a scary idea, but well done

The art was well suited for this story. If it was a "nice,easy to the yes art" the image wont stay in our head LOL!

amazing work, the art despite unusual, is suited to the story told

art was amazing, that was a good read for sure

still have some doubts about the psychological profile...meaning the sexual thing for boy...maybe women were too fragile to resemble his power...too easy to rape and the girl who killed people for suicide,so maybe lost interest.
but a + for the art because let u "focus" on the story.

Pft, just 'cos it's different doesn't make it sucky. -__-;; It's crafted to be heavily surrealistic and doesn't conform to art styles found in typical demographics. That's right! There are no sparklies, no rounded faces and very little realism in their art.

If I'm right, their art style resembles woodblock art a little. After all, Nishioka Kyoudai produce e-hon works too.


In any case, this work is a heavy departure in tone from the rest of the Bro and Sis' works.

wow.... sucky art, crazy story line somehow i read most of it... don't know what to say seriously.....
