reread 2022-08-10 — 2022-08-13. totally decent though a bit unrealistic isnt it.. when i first read it i thought it was amazing but i was 12 back then lol. i like kanon. good thing the manga didnt continue after hayase and kizaki died cause it really doesnt have much else going for it.
It’s February, and it still hasn’t snowed. Kanon’s father is going on a business trip. Her little brother collects insects, but they’re dying off. And it turns out that this die-off is the first sign of a horrific plague to come, starting with the rats, looking for a new food source. Then it gets bad…
Following in detail the total annihilation of the population, from the very beginning, realistic, great pace: very good read!
So sad to see the good guys die so close to salvation!!!! The beginning with the rats really had me feeling some type of way since it seemed so possible but after random animals kept popping up over and over, I just started getting annoyed. I kinda got the feeling the author just picked whatever animal she wanted to eat people/get in their way just to add more drama. It was like a shorter, less organic version of BioMeat which I really liked (organic in this sense refers to developing the plot naturally rather than forcing it along), but may have been comparable if it were longer and therefore had more time in between infestations so they seemed less sudden/random. An interesting choice to leave the sensei alive at the end, and it certainly made for a nice comical scene to cut up the gut wrenching action up to this point.
I also would have preferred to see more character development in the main character but considering the length and action heavy plot, the author did reasonably well with what she had.
