What is the twist could you spoil
Edit: Nvm

 

[67User67]

I'm at ch10, I'm not very interested,
new concepts keep being introduced, the telekinetic girl has to touch things first, but that was mentioned when convenient, not when first showing off her power, and now there's the reveal that powers may be able to be taken, there's so many "oh I didn't mention"s I honestly can't keep track

everyone seems to conform to the societal norms (I get women being objectified, but like, EVERY moment they can be they are, invisible guy bathhouse, beginning "all shit" rant, zoe's mom, zahid's entire personality, beginning soldier talking about going to a knight's brothel, etc). Seems like only a handful of males aren't complete horndogs, where are the dads?
Edit, ch12 case and point, I don't gotta say anything


Edit, read a ch10 a bit, author has to be a woman, guys don't piss together, personally I don't even understand why someone would want to
Also, how is the mirror branched that strong? she isn't literally a hundred times the strength of herself, she just has an "infinitely" sharp blade and a perfect shield, would overwhelming through numbers or speed not work? I find it hard to believe she's equal to the strong branched, she's a normal human besides being able to create portals (that only work on specific surfaces)

Edit (ch40, latest): So, major spoilers, ch27 and ch32 are the two major twist chapters, clone guy dies, mc has power to basically brainwash others to feel like him (Unless he sees them as an individual/not a faceless soldier/they've talked to him?), towers are from future, so early borders of countries and empires can be established, mc's power maturing was not anticipated so everything's in unknown territory, and someone commented that it could possibly be him from the future altering it, which, so far he said he "heard a voice", and fmc is the "time-weaver" so it's possible he was talked to from a future that failed or something, from himself, fmc, or a druid (The alien consciousness-only entities)
Also pope grabbed a druid or whatever from a crater, maybe meteor power relates to the original branched, no idea
Pope and foresight guy are apparently the same
Insider turned the empire (and Poppy) against the pope, Poppy betrays, kills fast guy

All that being said, I'd rate it 7/10 til ch26 (ch23.1 explaining ch20 was very nice, accepting your love as forever unrequited, not succumbing to your own jealousy, trying to ensure the one you love most doesn't live in misery, love possibly from both being branched, relatability), 5/10 til ch31 (I mean come on, it's so weird, giving him girl clothes and hallucinating him to be pregnant? grafting limbs on a tree? everybody marrying/kissing him?)
Not much of a "I'm from the future" fan, especially since everyone from the future seems to have no correlation to anyone present
Nor am I a fan on debating individuality (No duh people should stay separate), and showcasing the boredom of immortality

Personally I rate it 3/10 for now, the art is easily 10/10, but I don't like constant flashbacks introducing important things, there's not much tension, not a lot of emotion (The depression slump was kind of, not dwelled on? it felt kind of fast), though everything being pretty consequential makes it pretty good, but it does feel like going from a to b, without much direction, ending could be very good though, I wouldn't be surprised if inside the towers is similar to the futurist town, just watching the outside world for entertainment, this would obviously be very boring, I predict mc and fmc get together, by using his brainwashing and her time powers to influence the future or past, there's mentioning of eugenics before, so if they had a kid maybe it'd be able to do both, and maybe that was the voice he heard on ch26, don't know
Also, they've already hinted that her not seeing people as people and him seeing sound, and being able to brainwash people he doesn't see/perceive as people are a good match, so there's probably gonna be some conclusion with that, maybe he dies and she uses his power

I'm ignoring that she's 9 mentally, with 27 old body, he's 14, and that one girl that hit on him was 18, it's just weird all around, though I guess him being attracted to a 27 year old's body, and not a 9 year old's is better, it's still, not the best, he's only 5 years older, but I hope they introduce some concept of her mentally aging using her ability, maybe once her power matures fully

Also, the druid birth at the futurist village seemed like nothing came of it? Like what happened to the girl, mc was gonna be new birther but was let go ("cause"?)
I feel the story struggles to balance joy and tragedy, I didn't feel much when the fast guy died, I feel like there wasn't enough time spent creating moments of joy with him, same goes for "Mary" (I think that was her name), which was only shown for 1 flashback-like image (I think), but then was described/shown to the two people to be being raped/abused, there's not much to learn or realise with that moment, it felt needless, rape/abuse was already understood to be very prevalent, from the very beginning, another case of it didn't mean much if any, especially to an unknown character, very much felt like a dire attempt to garner reader pity, for me it only soured any care I wanted to give, being so extreme, in such short time, will make the reader want to create distance, not close any (as heartless as that sounds)
When mc got hurt by the foresight guy that was an impactful moment, someone to care about, and feel bad for, that was the apex of tension for me (ch26-27), after that there was the nice date talk, then the reveal of being from the future (it kind of went downhill from there, after the date)
That one soldier that was shown to be hopeful, later being shown as dead, the "anyone can die and be forgotten trying to make a name" can be interesting, but there's a clear distinction from main cast to non-main cast, the worry/care for main cast can't be translated to non-main cast because they're never put in the same spot/situation, as no main character would/has ever acted similar to that soldier... his character is treated differently, readers react accordingly
I guess that's the main weak point, characterisation, feels like bullet point traits instead of being products of their environment

 

[lilyputin]

Criminally overlooked.

 

[67User67]

If I'm being serious though, I feel the powers are fairly shallow, and serve as plot devices, not as something to be intrigued about like in "Ajin"

 

[PokutoHokuto]

Chapter 41 soon? Or is this on break again?

edit. good it wasn't on break

 

[PokutoHokuto]

Lucas still hasn't forgotten nor forgiven the druids, for when they had dressed him up in girly clothes and tried to mindrape him at the futurists village

He needs professional advice from Coura on how to make trees suffer

I actually consider characterization to be the main strength of this manga. The characters are the best part and I love the bittersweet story.

I actually consider characterization to be the main strength of this manga. The characters are the best part and I love the bittersweet story.

Oh yea, there's some good characters, like that old guy that was distraught over his dead partner, and the slowly converting enemy soldier asking for a grave, those were great moments, but I'm not a fan of the immortal guy, luck guy, or any side characters because you know they're side characters, it's too heavy on whether they'll be important or not*

Overall the characters feel more second thought, unless I'm mistaken everyone was shunned due to having branches, it seemed like a perfect opportunity to have at least one character being quite prideful, then clashing with another, but I can't really think of any relationship dynamics beyond the main one, like what does the immortal guy think of the injury girl, what does she think of him, everyone seem to hate the telekinetic girl, and the vision girl is crass to all, everyone's opinion of others seems very universal, there's not a lot of nuance, "Don't disturb strong girl" "Hate telekinetic girl" "Vision girl is distant to everyone" "Immortal guy doesn't care because he only cares about his sister" "Injury girl is creepy" "Love main guy", if the fast guy started falling in love secretly to the telekinetic girl I feel that would've been far more interesting (maybe he bonds over both being ostracised, as he doesn't understand her story), not only unrequited but betrayed, both in love and relation, then maybe telekinetic would start to doubt her own actions, gain regret, become selfless and dooming herself/her goal, to aid her past allies, to forgive herself as hopeless as she believes it to be (This could turn her pessimism into realising she lacked hope or trust)


*The village which had a bunch of crazy people couldn't be redeemed, sometimes being irredeemable is good, but given their perspective is so far detached from any viewer possibly relating it comes off as odd, relating will be more engaging than understanding, it's hard to relate to the main guy (usually the most relatable) cause he loves a mentally 9 year old (Well, okay, sure someone might relate, not me though)

Everybody is crazy and largely emotionally detached (Most emotion we got were those two short characters, why can't we stretch that into the main ones? Why couldn't the main guy have wanted to attend a funeral or something, maybe he did and I forget, but I don't think he did, it was more remove himself and no one came to comfort him as far as I remember, a man showing weakness in a story and another guy comforting him, or even zoe, would've been very cool, very touching, and works because zoe doesn't have an adult female mind which hangs gender preconceptions over men, that men aren't allowed to show weakness, could easily be shown by the vision girl scoffing at him (or she doesn't, given she's seen so much, she may have more empathy for allies/SEES how distraught people can be), not unrealistic, also works because the main guy is like 15, puberty, someone like the luck guy would be perfect for this, and could redeem him from being just a whore, or zoe, and maybe the main guy would come to realise her love is more familial than sexual)

I'm a bit tired so it might be a bit nonsensical, you can 100% disagree with me, I forget a lot about this, I did read though
There's a lot of character interaction and growth lacking, at least in my opinion, I'd be nice if some standards were reinforced and other times were broken down, could be something small like the oak religion not engaging in debauchery, to the luck guy's dismay
