The main character, Kamishiro, is in love with his childhood friend. He becomes infected with a disease which causes a person to have the uncontrollable urge to kill the one they love. The rest of the manga follows Kamishiro's journey, which I won't say any more about because that would definitely count as real spoilers. very similar plot device. Ironically both titles never managed to gain mainstream media attention even though they tried very hard. So if you have read ''Alive'', you will feel very much at home here. Having said that, it's also very similar to Kiseijyuu and Tokyo Ghoul; probably another half a dozen other titles with similar plot lines... Overall, I really enjoyed reading this *overlylongtitleIrefusetowrite*. The art can be eye candy sometimes and the story has it's interesting parts despite part of it being fairly obvious. Will I continue reading? Yes, but it's probably one of those titles I completely forget about along the way, only to start reading it again in a year or two. Just like how ''Alive'' managed to barely stay alive. Basic lay-it-down-to-me plot of both titles (possible spoilers)... The nation one day becomes infected with a strange disease, where everyone starts dying or killing each other on mass. Main character somehow overcomes the disease to some degree, lose the girl and goes on a journey to become stronger fighting off strange organizations.

Per questi motivi... mi sacrificherò e continuerò a leggere nonostante tutto, sperando in un miracolo. awalnya kamishiro berniat mengungkapkan perasaannya kepada teman masa kecil sekaligus cinta pertamanya, hanasono mika, tapi semua berubah ketika perasaannya bercampur dengan naluri membunuh. disepanjang volume 1, kamishiro menahan diri untuk tidak berfantasi mengenai darah dan raut kesakitan hanasono. dia pikir, menghindari hanasono dan melakukan percobaan bunuh diri akan mempermudah keadaan. tapi cerita tidak berjalan sesederhana itu, ada banyak rintangan yang menanti, termasuk bertemu dan melawan orang-orang lain yang terinfeksi. Character design: average hair, average height, average weight, average face. He likes cleaning though! 3/10 Vol.5 Chapter 14: Infiltration #14 - Vol.5 Chapter 14: Infiltration 10-28-2020 #14 - Vol.5 Chapter 14: InfiltrationCharacter Development: As I stated, she starts being quite energetic, forcing Kamishiro to go out and being nice to everyone who confesses to her. Basically, perfect popular girl. After chapter... what, 2? She ends up getting partial amnesia; after chapter 9, she gets infected and is terribly strong. She is then quiet and reserved and is barely seen, since she needs to be rescued from the hands of The Mastermind. Vol.1 Chapter 2: Isolation #2 - Vol.1 Chapter 2: Isolation 10-28-2020 #2 - Vol.1 Chapter 2: Isolation Now I'm gonna talk about protagonist, members of his team, members of the enemy team, and lastly, love interest and Mastermind. Most of these guys appear after chapter 10 so watch out for that, I guess? It came out really long, so I will do a TL;DR at the bottom. The members of Rudiment, or the protagonist's team, are also a bunch of stereotypical or average guys. We have the energetic, short tempered guy who believes in friendship and has spiky hair. The quiet, intelligent, glass wearing guy who is the strategist. The short girl who had a traumatic past and looks kinda average too but loves the protagonist. The doctor is also the "older woman who drinks but can be serious" type. Then we have Neibu, who is probably the only interesting guy in the team. He is foreign, has kind of a weird hairstyle, is the leader and is really smart but isn't afraid to show his feelings for his teamates and always seems to think ahead. Before chapter 9, he is seen as a very dangerous man, someone who is linked to many deaths and also makes a scary and threatening face towards the protagonist. He never makes this face again. He also has some kind of... keychain thing? It is never explained but it is shown a lot. We also have the theme of death aesthetic going on. Some of the earlier seasons of America’s Next Top Model featured women being photographed like they were dead. Painted to look pretty in a tub of blood, or looking hot while drying on the sun-bleached pavement. It was weird, but apparently there’s a market for it 🤷🏻‍♀️

We see similar things in film and television. The first season of Hannibal took murder as an art form to a whole new level. Here we have the same trope, but it takes center stage. This guy wants to kill the cutest girl in school, but he also wants her to live. So this cognitive dissonance is at the heart of the story, and what it might represent is admirable. I have just seen it so many times.Vol.8 Chapter 26: Accomplices #26 - Vol.8 Chapter 26: Accomplices 10-28-2020 #26 - Vol.8 Chapter 26: Accomplices seseorang yang terjangkit bloodlust memiliki kekuatan 2x lebih kuat daripada manusia normal. karakteristik dari kekuatannya berbeda tergantung dengan keahlian dan situasi. kamishiro bukan superhero, karena yang dipikirkannya hanya niat membunuh. tapi ketika keadaan berubah menjadi pelik, kamishiro berbalik menggunakan kekuatannya untuk kebaikan meskipun mungkin saja keputusannya sia-sia oleh twist yang surealis serta berdarah-darah. In other cases, the female can be killed again and again, so the male impulse to kill can be satiated while the female gets to live, or grow stronger (Tomie). Questo primo volume è... fatto male, posso capire che dare fin da subito spiegazioni su cosa, come e quando sia rischioso per la trama e impossibile, se tutti sapessimo fin dalla prima pagina chi è l'assassino in un giallo non leggeremmo mai il libro (forse) ma per lo meno sarebbe bello avere spunti intriganti per continuare la lettura, avere personaggi carismatici e interessanti da seguire e vicende curiose da scoprire invece ci ritroviamo con cose a caso e zerbini ambulanti.

Character development: He gets some development, but it feels like it comes out of nowhere. After chapter 10, aka only a 1 month timeskip, he is suddenly more serious, not scared by anything at all, nor is he afraid of confrontation. He now believes in the "power of love" and friendship and basically becomes way more average of a protagonist than before. If I recall correctly, we only see him cleaning like three times (even when that used to be his main character trait), so he even lost that. I've enjoyed it so far, and the plot moves pretty steadily so I haven't gotten bored reading. The characters are interesting, but the story focuses much more on Kamishiro and larger plot points and action scenes rather than exploring side characters. I think it could use more side character development and more hints about the larger mysteries, but it's been a pretty good read so far.The Mastermind (so as to not spoil who they are, though at this point I guess you don't really care about spoilers). When we are given a hint about his identity in chapter 14 I just found myself yawning. If you have read any manga similar to this, you would inmediately know who he is. It's not a surprise at all, and his character is unoriginal. He is the usual "bastard" character. His visual design is plain too. He is shorter than average though! 1.5/10
