Poor delivery. There's no development in either the plots or the characters. The art is okay, but I felt the over use of chibi forms and distant angles was lazy. Whether it was the translation or the writing, the dialogue and exposition were very confusing. The general point kind of got across, but the finer details and nuance was lost. It felt like having a suspenseful thriller movie explained by a five year old. "There was this guy and he did this thing and went to this place and there was this shootout and explosions and then there where zombies, but the good guy survives in the end." Like, what?! Since this is the second time I read this and I only reread it because I had given it 4 stars initially, I'm thinking I must have been asleep when I rated this waste of time, data, ink and paper the first time.
**Side Note** Never, ever, fire a firearm at an interior wall in an apartment! Drywall, lumber and insulation are not enough to stop a bullet. My husband was nearly killed when an upstairs neighbor's son was messing around with his dad's rifle and fired it at the floor of his apartment. The bullet traveled through carpet, pad, subfloor, insulation, soundproofing sheeting, more insulation, ceiling drywall, more drywall in the wall of our apartment and two 2x4s sandwiched together that held up the drywall and door frame in the wall of our apartment. The bullet missed my husband's head by less than 4 inches because he was standing in the doorway when it happened. If the position of the barrel had been pointing just a millimeter or two to the left, my husband would have been shot in the head. Firearms are not toys, they must be handled with respect and responsibility. You are responsible for every bullet that leaves the barrel of your firearm. And bullets cost from $0.22 to $5 each, depending on the materials the bullet is made from and the amount of material required. A .22 caliber bullet costs a few pennies to make from lead and copper, but a bullet costing $5 each would be made from depleted uranium and likely be a .50 caliber - yes, they exist and are used in the military to penetrate tank armour. So, unless breakfast costs less than $0.50 - the average price for a handgun bullet of any caliber - the seme is asking for too much in repayment. Though, if you count the labor cost of having to clean the gun after it has been fired, breakfast is a fair trade. LOL
