This manga sucks so bad it turns into a comedy but I can see the appeal for beginners
So, this was not my first manga. But I read the first 8 volumes with my language partner (who had never read a manga in JP before).
To put it simply, the story sucks ass. The vast majority of characters act so stupidly and irrationally that it makes you want to close the tab. Nearly none of them are sympathetic in the way that the author is going for, and the series tries way too hard to make it seem scary to the point that it just ends up like a comedy.
But for language learning? I can see the appeal. The vocab is simple, full furigana, and the grammar is also easily N4 territory. I'm around an N3 level with several manga under my belt and I can knock back 2 volumes in around an hour or so.
If you're a beginner, this isn't a bad beginner's manga in terms of learning... but in terms of writing, it's ass.
