My Dearest Self With Malice Aforethought Vol. 1

Product Information

They are complex, well fleshed out and their motivations are well founded, yet they still managed the be cliché characters.

I appreciate the elaborate detail, but when it comes to thrillers I prefer that they don’t indulge in certain story arcs for longer than they need to. Also another thing to mention, the plot is a bit incoherent at times since the story is a bit fast paced and it has some time skips and flashbacks to create a deeper understanding of each character. The art is quite good, the writing is fine, the characters are layered, and the story itself is quite consistent, yet the whole manga felt like a homework.Overall, it's really hard to give this story review without spoiling anything, but it's definitely top tier. When he wakes up he discovers a beautiful girl next to him who treats him as if they are in a loving relationship.

In any case, the guy is happy enough to let this sudden girlfriend of his believe that she’s dating the other version of himself. This is one of those iceberg stories in which the author has plotted carefully every character’s actions and deceptions.

However, the main issue with the work is that the story reaches its peak as early as the fourth volume. His alter ego, B1, adds a layer of danger and unpredictability, intensifying the gripping storyline. They are definitely written interestingly, but I usually enjoy stories where you delve into people end get to know them better. The story: Again, the integrity is pretty good, but because of the countless ex-machina and convinietly introduced new characters it felt pretty subpar.

However, the protagonist’s missing part isn’t satisfied with a hot girlfriend: he’s also hanging out with members of the worst gang around, one that runs whores and kills people. This dude just show up while I'm finding a new comic to read and after reading it, i can only say what the fuck did i just read. So as I said at the beginning, if you are new to the genre I can recommend it, but if you are looking for something new this is not the manga you are looking for. However, the subtle cracks are ignorable and do not detract from the overall enjoyment of the story.Later on we get a few clichéd moments that we’ve seen a thousand times: the author makes us believe that a character has shot someone in the head, but that character actually shot into the floor deliberately; X gets shot in the chest at point-blank range by people who could have easily shot X in the head, but X survives because of a bulletproof vest; a murderous bad guy gets knocked unconscious, but instead of finishing him, they good guys walk away, and the bad guy gets back up shortly after; etc. As for pacing, you never know what's coming next or who did what, and each chapter flows perfectly into one another so you're never bored and you're always left on a cliffhanger. Now, for the story, I can’t say for sure I followed every tiny detail and I admit skim reading some parts (not because it was bad or boring, but to find out what happens next), but it’s impossible not to say this plot is extremely well thought out and interesting. I legitimately think this is one of the most underrated mangas of all time, I won't understand anyone giving this manga a score lower than 9.
