james_desantis 's review for:
I Am a Hero Omnibus, Vol. 1
by Kengo Hanazawa
I actually waited a day before I reviewed this because I wanted to think about it. Did I love it"? No. Did I hate it? No. Did I love THINGS about it? Yes. Did I HATE things about it? Yes. So I'm going to try to break it down.
What I liked: The moments when people begin to turn is great. I actually love that they still hold a little of who they are. Sometimes speaking or repeating words of something they did last before turning. Also the way they move is freaky and scary. Crawling like the grudge ass creatures. I also enjoyed some of the humor. It's so over the top and crazy you can't help but laugh. I also got to say it was a relief to see some real life manga troubles. Shit is hard work, and any artist can relate. So that was nice.
What I didn't like: The pacing is all over the place. I'm all for character building but my God the first half is really slow, over the top, weird, and sometimes boring to read. The main character is also a total loser, and that always drives me crazy in cliche world of anime. The manga can also be confusing to read and sometimes gotta re-read panels to get it all. I just didn't care for many of the characters here.
So it's a interesting enough read. I probably will pick up volume 2 down the line but for now I'll just place it to the side. It's good enough to recommend to read but I wouldn't say it's a must buy or anything.
