About this deal

At least for deadtube, it was somewhat enjoyable due to the fight scenes and had clear resolutions. However, this series is just a pain to get through. There is no defining arcs where the outcome leads to a resolution. What do I mean? Deadtube had different arcs whenever a new video contest event rolls out, and the end of each arc had a somewhat satisfying yet tragic resolution. There is a clear resolution before moving onto the next arc. In Dokumushi, it's just one big slog. You can say each character dying could be counted as an arc, but theres no clear resolution after each character death. It's just problem -> solution -> problem -> solution rinse and repeat until you reach Chapter 50 with a resolution. I do not enjoy this formula in any sort of entertainment. Wow! This was not what I expected. Like most people, I learned about this manga from the anime man, but from his video my impression of the manga was that it was gonna be some subpar garbage "edgy" story with little interesting aspects. Boy, was I wrong!

So…I don’t completely disagree with Joey when he says that this is very brutal etc., but in terms of the story or art, it is completely…average. That’s all I can say. Nevertheless, I was really excited reading this. Maybe I’m a boring person but I was on edge the entire time? Something about this manga just made me read it like an addict…or something. My thoughts on the story is located waaaaaay down below, after Overalls, because it is impossible to talk about my thoughts without spoiling the story. If you enjoy horror survival manga, I have a great recommendation for you. Although the premise may seem repetitive like other survival genres, "Dokumushi" offers its own unique take on the genre, adding a new layer to the usual survival story elements. Additionally, this manga is not very long, about 30 chapters, so you can read it in one sitting or over the weekend. However, I cannot make any promises about whether or not you will feel like you wasted your time after reading it. The basic setting is where this manga both starts and stops, and from then on out, there is nearly nothing but rather close-to-explicit porn and some gore so disappointing that it's clear the mangaka just wanted to do draw very questionable tabboish sexy-times. If there are any redeeming points in this read, I doubt I would find them upon my second read because by God, just draw porn, won't you? Came from The Anime Man once again lol and yeah he was a bit inaccurate with the otaku and little girl scene. No, the otaku did not hit it with the little girl, but did partake in child grooming technically. Still disgusting nevertheless.

Imagine not knowing anything about your favorite manga or anime or whatever and experiencing it for the first time. You’re gonna be way more involved in what’s going on, because you’re gonna anticipate WHAT. Is gonna happen next, you’re not anticipating ‚that epic twist‚ everyone keeps The one thing this manga really has going for it is the gorey visuals. While you can get gore in nearly every horror media, it's hard to get it looking right. This manga, in my opinion, does a beautiful job of illustrating less than beautiful subject matter.

Apparently there is no English translation of the whole Manga, so I don’t know how people are reviewing this who speak only English…but again, even though it’s not a very original concept with mediocre art, I’d still recommend it, but without hyping it as much as Joey did. By the way, I have no idea how many chapters are in the six volumes, so I just wrote 24, assuming each volume has four chapters. Sorry. I'll admit it, even though it's very generic, this is just my kind of story (horror and survival). So as long as it's done okay, I can enjoy it just fine. The ending of Dokumushi is literally Doubt! (extremely simila, at least), with the MC being the next Dokumushi game champion. Who is the previous champion? It's the little girl.This is one of the few times where I'm giving an overall rating not following my enjoyment score. It HAS some redeeming qualities (the MC not being as pathetic), but at the end of the day, I just did not like this series. Have you heard of Kodoku? It's an occult curse that involves using the sole survivor of poisonous insects mixed with other deadly insects. But what if it's not an insect, but a human that's involved? This is Dokumushi, a horror survival manga that explores the theme of kodoku using humans as participants. The combination of the story's narration and the composition of the panels is good. The panels flow naturally into each other. Although this series is considered horror, the story is visualized in a good way with well-drawn images. MC might be the most pathetic/useless fictional character I've ever known. There's absolutely no quality to him. No good action, no virtue, nothing. Only characters I was genuinely invested in were Yuki & Akane and ofc they didn't make it :) one survivor can emerge from the challenges they face, adding to the thrilling intensity of the plot. While the concept of "just survive with everyone" is a bit limited, the characters manage to remain calm until conflicts arise and they begin to turn on each other.
