bloody monday = bloody boring

I take back what I said previously about Bloody Monday. It’s BOOORIINGG because the story’s got no substance whatsoever. The perfect example of a plot-driven manga. I groaned practically at every chapter due to the stupid plot. むかつく!!! Ughh.. Skipped to the last three chapters and I’m thankful that I did. Turned out the mangaka made another outrageous twist. Bah. I don’t think it deserves the previous 7.5. I doubt it even deserves 5 out of 10

 

Bloody Monday

A fast-paced action with plot twists coming up one after another. Contrary to what most people say about it, I don’t think it’s THAT great. Everything was too much, even the plot twists. Reading it feels like watching a big-budget Hollywood action flick. Great action, no substance, just flash-bang-boom all over (think Transformer). It used the common ingredients and formula to make an action manga a bestseller and I think that it fairly succeeded in accomplishing what it set out to do. But that’s about it. I doubt it’ll leave any impression on me by the time I finish reading it (though I have to give the mangaka props for managing to make it somewhat enjoyable despite the  overused formula). 7,5 out of 10.
