Should you read Ajin?
I shouldn't
why don't you tell me? how much does it focus on the cool monsters aspect vs. me having to sit around watching boring human characters walk and talk in circles for 200 chapters? does it have an annoying love triangle subplot? is the actual main character a cool guy, or is he a boring "literally me" self insert?
Yes. Just for Sato.
Nagai is pretty based too.
Yeah, he's certainly not a bad MC by any means. Sato just steals the show.
I just finished reading it 30 mins. Im an anime only fag but this manga won be over, 10/10.
Its not just for sato, plenty of side characters have great moments even if they ended up dying
>sato being a giga chad the whole manga
>kei is not a crying pussy and accepts his situation and does it's best
>side characters are useful
>spooky operators are not fodder
Great manga.
Lots of great, really fun action. Definitley check it out.
i thought it was meh in terms of characterization and plot, good action manga though
Every single scene he was in the anime was a spectacle.
Pretty good villain and overall character.
yeah
I pretty much agree with this.
They picked a phenomenal VA for him.
Followed the storytime but stopped because of the plot having no substance and Sato's antics losing its steam. There's no reason for it to be over 10 volumes long, must have been dreadful for monthly readers.
>must have been dreadful for monthly readers.
its not like it stopped getting translated for like 3 years at a time or anything
Read it for the first time during the recent storytime, and I'm glad I did. It's fun, the action is good, and the powers are used creatively.
>side characters are useful
>spooky operators are not fodder
That was a breath of fresh air for me. Most every character, main and minor, made proper decisions based on the information they had. Characters who were meant to be tough and had high level skills were properly demonstrated, even if they were killed in the end.
>powers are used creatively.
fried chicken sato was, without a doubt, one of the best manga special attacks of all time.
the author is some kind of genius
>how much does it focus on the cool monsters aspect vs. me having to sit around watching boring human characters walk and talk in circles for 200 chapters?
Hard to know what you mean, but it's 100% focused on exploring the monster aspect as much as possible. There's no forced melodrama, just the main conflict and going about it.
>does it have an annoying love triangle subplot?
No romance.
>is the actual main character a cool guy, or is he a boring "literally me" self insert?
Neither, he's cool, but in an autistic kind of way. He's a genius dude that functions with reason and logic, that's it.
I wish the immortality was explained though. I fucking hate open ending plots
