Jagaaaaaan review

Here's my take after reading 25 fractured chapters of Jagaaaaaan by Muneyuki Kaneshiro (Story) and Kensuke Nishida (Art).

It's seldom that you read something that have heavy influences and inspiration from well established mangas and make it work and stand on it's own.

Jagaaaaaan has a great premise that made it amusing to read. The story revolves around the protagonist Shintarou Jagasaki a 27 year old policeman who struggles to contain his frustrations in life at work and at home with his girlfriend. Things turned upside down when a sudden rain of frogs fell down the city and started taking over the city's people turning them into fractured humans whose innermost feeling fuels their grotesque transformation and abilities; one being Jagasaki himself.

Although it got most of it's concept and ideas from previous manga's like kiseijuu by Hitoshi Iwaaki and Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica by Magica Quartet (Story) and Hanokage (Art), It definitely works and I have enjoyed every chapter.

The art is good and clean, I'm not sure if it was intentional, but it was really cringe inducing at the first few chapters then it turns into this itchy Trypophobia dealing nightmare. (This manga is not recommended for those who have Trypophobia trust me)

The characters are one dimensional at first but they slowly improve as each chapter passes; however, they still have a long way to go. I can't help but to add that Bell is the most interesting character among it's cast and I like her more and more as every chapter passes.

There's a ton of mature content on this manga so I would not recommend this to our young readers.

But I do recommend this to people who have read Kiseijuu or Tokyo Ghoul, but do not expect much as I believe this manga is created to primarily entertain which it did well during my read.

With that said, I would give Jagaaaaaan 8 Dung Balls out of 10.
