Core Scramble Volume 1 by Euho Jun & Jeong Lee

1.75 stars

The basic premise that I gathered is that there's a guy fighting on a team. This team uses magic to kill "bugs", but the chief on his team is pretty much a jerk. I suggest just reading the synopsis on GR because I just don’t know how to describe this. I have no clue what happened for the majority of this manga. The art style is messy and is not my preference. I was really interested in picking this one up because it’s a Yaoi (m/m manga), but I didn’t feel any chemistry between the characters or find must interest in them. Since this novel relies heavy on action and no explanations, the plot is disjointed and the flow is rocky at best.


Whimsical Writing Scale: 2

Art Scale: 2

The characters are selfish, but have believable motives for their actions. I just couldn’t connect to them and have no interest in finding out the rest of their story.


Character Scale: 1.5

This manga just wasn’t for me, but I’m sure that there are readers out there who will absolutely adore this.


Plotastic Scale: 1.75

Cover Thoughts: The art is phenomenal, but they have jawlines for days.
