This Ugly Yet Beautiful World, Volume 1 Reviews

    I had a lot of trouble getting into the story of this Manga. I was expecting it to go one way and then it did something completely different. The characters were predictable and boring and I hated the overt hostility towards the main character by all the "human" female characters. The secondary lead seemed to absorb crazy things with little more than a shrug which made him seem unrealistic. Overall the art saves this Manga from a much lower score but I honestly don't know if I want to even continue the story.

    Cover art is from anime, while manga has grotesquely different style. Explicit for nudity, more so than the show. Although it does go more into characters lives and small tales, the change in style and poor angles disrupts the read.
    Not sure if I can recommend it for people who like the anime.
