Corpse Party: Musume Vol. 1
by Makoto Kedouin
Well this was pretttttty bad.
If you didn't know Corpse Party is a long running series usually placed on handheld consoles. It's about a bunch of school kids trapped in a alter dimension with killing and deaths happening suddenly. Ghost and worst are coming out of the woodwork and hunting our students, usually murdering them in very disturbing ways. By the end it's all carnage and mayhem but does it hit you in the emotional feels?
Good: The artwork is fine enough. Also there's some screwed up deaths. One in particular where someone gets crushed to death is pretty hard to watch. Also the book is pretty damn big for the price you pay.
Bad: The dialog is beyond terrible. Cliche anime dribble left and right. The overreaction to things that aren't scary, or the under-reaction to things that ARE, is so obvious it hurts. The characters are all pretty unlikable and bad. The sexual moments are lazy and placed throughout. Also, I know Japan is cool with the legal age being 13, but man, these girls look 12-13 years old and showing panty shots and boobs is really not needed.
Overall, this is pretty bad. It's a quick, easy, and sometimes brutal read but most of the time it's boring and really forced. I'd recommend just skipping this one to be honest. I dunno why I bought two volumes. Now that I think about it I'm kind of a idiot.
