Quick Synopsys:
If you want read a story about a normal guy with low self-esteem kill for a girl over and over again, this is right up your alley.
The action is consistent, the art is drawn well, Plot progression is consistently moving forward and each chapter is as suspenseful and action-packed as the last. Reading this manga was like watching an action movie: "Things keep happening and they don't stop until near the ending."
However, do NOT expect a happy ending. You won't find one in this manga. Also, characters are "interesting" at best but most of them lack depth to make them interesting. The heroine especially. But, don't let that stop you from enjoying this manga!
This is still a fun manga to read, regardless. Just don't expect to walk away with some "deep" meaning or anything.
Rating:
6.5/10
Pros:
++ Action is Suspenseful
++ Emotional Scenes are drawn really well.
+/- Ending is realistic (Everyone has mixed reactions, I like it because of realism)
Cons:
? Hard to relate to the MC's introspective moments at times.
Detailed Summary:
So, I have mixed feelings on this series to be honest.
One girl and a bunch of different guys.
Every guy she met just wants to sleep with her and finds her too clingy and blocks her. Just think like if the girl your dating had multiple evil ex's that attempted to kill her or... other things... then you just want to protect her.
The MC is an interesting case to follow. At first, you can understand his justifiable reactions for self-defense (although the initial stabbing was... dumb, if I'm being honest. But, ngl, that one guy was a piece of shit). However, as we move forward with the plot, we witness how the MC goes from being the "hero" of the story to turning into the very person he despises, the very person he swore to protect the girl against.
He repeats the lines that one of the heroine's attackers repeated on how: "he can be the only one to make that one girl happy". He reflects on how all he has ever done was "go with the flow", "blaming his own brother for his self-esteem issues", "blaming himself for trying to change". In the end, any person he wanted to kill, he killed. He thought himself to be this "Hero" but, in reality, he was just a murderer and a coward at the end. He never learned anything about himself and he never learned to love himself. So, there was no resolution for him, no redemption, only punishment.
The Heroine and her backstory was very... boring. I was expecting something completely different from her but... she just was the most boring character with a boring backstory. Albeit, she did get traumatized a fair bit hanging out with the MC so that was interesting. I really thought there was going to be something interesting to her character when the Heroine and the MC's other love interest stared each other down. Needless to say, she was a proper letdown.
The amount of time reading through this felt like everything that was happening was done in the span of approximately 2 days. Honestly, I will give kudos for writing a 30+ chapter manga that spanned over 2 days and keeping my interest, albeit through mostly action and emotional introspection.
Anyway, I enjoyed reading this manga and it was a fun action-suspense thriller to read.
However, my rating is 5/10 because the manga feels... incomplete in some areas. It was a fun roller coaster ride but I just felt so distant from the MC because I just could not imagine anyone being put into so many scenarios one after another like he was. Or for people to act so irrationally for a girl, it seems so pathetic. I just felt like I can't relate to these characters or how they behave.
I did not like the heroine's backstory. It's pretty silly to think that, at the end of the story, she needed a guy to kill all her ex's to end up realizing that she doesn't need to date anyone.
In conclusion, it was a fun read, there were good moments to enjoy. All-in-all, however, my recommendation only goes to those who are looking for a short read for a suspense-filled action-packed manga that will take half-a-day to finish. It's fun, it's enjoyable, it is FAR from perfect, but the entire ride is a fun ride. Just... don't have high expectations for the destination.

Rating:
6.5/10
Pros:
++ Action is Suspenseful
++ Emotional Scenes are drawn really well.
- Protagonist has "interesting" character progression/regression.
- No Time Skips (I'm not sure if the MC cutting up a body was a time skip or not)
- Multiple Climatic Moments
- Heroine has her moments
- Consistent Plot Progression
- Consistent Tone
+/- Ending is realistic (Everyone has mixed reactions, I like it because of realism)
Cons:
- Main girl is very bland and her back story is extremely dull when you learn about it.
- Most characters are "cartoonishly" 1D.
- Plot is pretty basic, nothing special.
- All guys are psychotic simps (Very simple motivations from all characters).
- No true resolution.
- Multiple contrived scenarios.
? Hard to relate to the MC's introspective moments at times.
