Review in Haiku: Bokurano

Depressing manga
Worse than evangelion
Read at your own risk.

STORY:

To avoid spoilers;
Bunch of kids find big robot
Aliens show up.

Super dramatic
It gets really dark real fast
Zero to hundred.

Please don't get spoiled
The twists in this are insane
Ten points out of ten.

ART:

Characters are meh
They are good but nothing great
Got same-face syndrome.

On the other hand
The mecha design is superb
Unearthly and strange.

It's got weird angles
Kind of hard to see some stuff.
Seven out of ten.

CHARACTER:

Each main character
Is fleshed out to a degree
You'll get all their tales.

They are all children
Tossed into a big bad war
This will not end well.

Every single one
Has a couple of problems
Eight points out of ten.

ENJOYMENT:

I didn't "enjoy"
Bokurano as one would
Enjoy a manga.

After I finished
I felt like my soul was dead
Made me want to cry.

It's a manga for
A specific reader type
Nine points out of ten.

OVERALL:

Evangelion
Go eat shit, you're nothing
In terms of sadness.
