So from the small amounts of reviews I read before starting this manga, I expected there to be more gore and more f*ck-ery, but honestly it wasn't that bad. I mean, the sexual intercourse via headless and entrails was not what I was looking for today. But I've read some pretty messed up stuff (I read the works of a doujin manga artist whose work you can read on another site but TRUST ME when I say that their works are absolutely messed up. Like ten times more explicit gore than what you saw in MADK so far and with far less romantic undertones. Honestly, it's...it's bad. Gave me nightmares - metaphorically speaking, lol).
The art is, of course, stunning. I love the fluidity style of drawing, that just makes everything so "flowy." Also, the design of the demons are amazing. Humanoid enough to give make them both ethereal and beautiful, but monster-like enough that you know they're creatures of absolute terror. That, and they're just creative that you can distinct which demon is which so far. I also have to give extra creds to how the artist drew Makoto's expressions - there's just so much! It's great lol.
As of now, we really don't know much about the characters per say, but we do have a gist for what they're like and the societal rules of the demon world. I'm really excited to delve more into that and see how Makoto will play that out. Speaking of Makoto, I oddly love his characterization and interactions with J. In a sense, it's sweet and even romantic at times, but there's also an undertone of power play between the two(not only sexually lol). Makoto is intriguing, in that we first see him more as a little cinnamon roll of sorts given his sweet and large puppy dog designs, but he's shown to be domineering and outright conniving. He's in it to win it, and I applaud him for that. J is very much so a demon - he's playful and has moments of lightheartedness, but he's also devious and cruel.
Truth be told, I'm not a big yaoi fan lol. I do have some issues with the genre, but the cover art for this manga really caught my eye and i decided to give it a read. What I like about MADK more so than some BL /yaoi mangas is that there is a sense of plot that's going on with a twinge of mystery. Can't wait for the next update!
