Some dubbing this the "Rape" manga or anime. So with that, some people staying far away. However, once get past the factor these Goblin creatures do terrible things to humans it's actually pretty entertaining manga.

So the story starts off simple enough. If ever played a JRPG or any RPG really you'll get the idea. A Band of warriors get together to go on a quest. Their mission? To kill some goblins. Seems simple enough. They have a healer, warrior, rogue, and one other and they are ready to kill some baddies! However, the series takes a dark turn as these goblins quickly start slaughtering the fighters. Once doing so they don't stop there, poising, raping, and hunting them down. It's only when the Goblin Slayer, a man (or maybe woman) dressed in complete armor starts taking those goblins out.

Good: The viciousness of the series is kind of refreshing. They don't really spend time giving you reasons to why to hate the goblins, no big backstory, it's that they're evil little shits hellbent on murder and raping. That's what they do. I also enjoy the fact the warriors all get wrecked so quick as it gives us actual stakes. The last chapter in this collection is pretty great, giving us a sneak peek into how the Goblin Slayer handles the goblins in a tactical way.

Bad: It is very over the top and bloody so it's not for everyone. I also thought the slower backstory of how warriors get their quest and such gave a huge halt to the pacing. Some cliche characters too get annoying.

Overall it's a very interesting series that's worth checking out for the brutal nature of it. Haven't read one this fucked up since Wolfsmund. I wonder how it'll continue to progress. A 3.5 out of 5.
