I stumbled upon this manga at my local B&N upon opening it I immediately saw someone cutting off their own arm and feeding it to people. I grabbed the Vol 1 & 2 and went straight to the counter to buy them.

I'm not gonna bore you and write out the summary of the manga. It has some very gritty and dark themes in it, if you liked Ajin you'll love this. I felt the story was very well written and shows us the agony of losing the ones you love through showing us Agni's mental struggles and denial of the fact he lost his sister (Not a spoiler just main plot development that happens in the first Chapters). It shows us the aspects of fear and how people will tell themselves anything that makes them feel safe. We see this in how the villagers fear him to the point where they name him a god. We also get to see the savagery of lawlessness with a almost Mad Max kind of vibe to it.

As for characters I feel that Agni and Togata are the most developed backstory wise although Sun and Judah are also well developed near the end. Agni has lost his sanity by living in the constant pain of being endlessly burned alive which allows him to have a sort of mindless rage and cluelessness to him at times. Togata is by far the best character in the story she adds a lot of comic relief to the cruelness of the manga. I didn't like Judah until the end of the manga and Sun is kind of just a dumb little kid.

I really enjoyed this and hands down one of the best manga's I've read and cannot recommend it enough. I also strongly suggest you purchase the physical copies because you will want to read it again and again. Don't forget to check out the authors current manga Chainsaw Man!
