I love the art style so much!! It reminds me of those early 2000s anime art styles, maybe with better drawing skills. It also gives me Death Note vibes, just from the art style alone.
All the characters look so beautiful, but that kinda causes a problem because they’re all so nonchalant and serious all the time. So when they try to pull off their comic relief shenanigans… idk, it’s kinda hard to take in lmaooo.
The story is dark and haunting, and storytelling-wise, it’s not bad, but something feels missing. I can’t put my finger on it. I just can’t get myself invested in the story.
I liked the beginning a lot. It was pretty captivating at first, and I found the MC’s ability to recognize smells really unique for a crime story. I also liked the dynamic between the detectives, but somehow, I just couldn’t get myself to care about them enough.
I’ve decided to drop it for now. Maybe I’ll give it another try someday.
