Story: 8/10

This was a really good story. I love this type of setting, where the protagonists are in a laboratory/ prison type of place and the antagonist is always somewhat linked to the government. I don’t really know if there’s a name for this genre, but I enjoy it a lot. It made me think of Shokuryou Jinrou in a way. Although I got the impression that the end was a bit rushed, it was still pleasant.

Art: 8/10

The art was really pretty!! Everything looked really clean and the background was also detailed which is a good point. The monsters were creepy and made me uneasy, I really enjoyed that!

Cast: 6/10

The story and the art were good and I loved them a lot, but the casting was not up to the expectations. The main character was okay-ish but the female protagonist? She was literally absent from the story. She was useless in a way, that is very sad because she could have contributed so much to the plot. Unfortunately, the protagonist overshadows her.

Enjoyment: 7/10

It was a very good read. I feel like the ending was hastily. It seems that the mangaka was planning to release more chapters, but it got canceled. At some point we get this interesting character with a charadesign that might belong to the main cast but he ends up never speaking? When I first saw him I really thought he would join the protagonist but absolutely not. There are a lot of little details like that that make me think that the author must have written the ending very quickly and it's really sad. With a few more volumes this manga would have been 10/10.

Overall: 7/10
