| Topic | Tom resumes reading all the Bolo Household Manga Collection (spoilers) |

I think it handled that aspect well- instead of trying to retell the whole thing, it cut out all but the very most important plot beats and characters, changing a few things around and adding a good bit of original content to flesh things out better. My purist side is displeased, but realistically one volume wasn't going to be able to do the whole game justice. Where it fell down a bit was tone and character development. I feel like it wanted to be a comedy manga most of the way through, but tried to get a bit more serious towards the end. Unfortunately we didn't spend enough (quality) time with any of the characters for their arcs to make a whole lot of sense or have a whole lot of impact, and thus the ending fell a bit flat as well. Art style wasn't quite my thing either. My rating: 6/10 Better than I remembered, but....not great. I'm due for a replay though I think and that kinda whet my appetite. --- https://imgtc.com/i/uWMMlnN.png Tone yo' flab ... Copied to Clipboard! |
