JK to Sutego no Akachan Review. Mostly Medicore but has some heart here and there. The series is about a girl FMC2 who abandons a baby under a bridge because she doesnt have the heart to kill it. FMC picks up FMC2s baby and decides to raise it till she can find her parents. Originally she did intend to give him to the police but she got a mean letter in her locker which basically a plot point which results in her keeping the baby till the climax of the series happens. The series is short actually. We dont spend time with the FMC and her adopted child for long. Which I consider a con. As we dont really spend time with the wannabe parent I dont really feel attached. Tbh I dont feel attached to any of the characters. Maybe due to the short length and everyone being a cartoony villain character. Early on there is also this very obvious reveal in the beginning to the point that you think that this is the bad guy because the author made it so bloody obvious so you think author is playing 4d chess with the reveal. The reveal in itself nothing special. And the main villain in itself is pathetic. In the serious attempt of the story he is just an over the top cartoony character. Its so odd. But I kinda get why the author on this type of character. Being such a short series you cant develop everything. However there are other short series that are much much better than this that are capable of immediately grabbing me. In the end. The series felt short lived but I dont think the author was capable of bringing more to the series. When i finish a short series and love it I think that there should be more whilst the author gave us everything he got in that short amount of time. Harus Curse is a good example of this. In here I think the author wrote 3 volumes because thats how much the author is capable of. When the series switched the Babys POV I felt it was quite good. The baby was the best character. Innocent and sweet and Im not made of rocks damn it. Overall i think this series couldve done a better job with the characters story plot development/convenience and you know everything. But I also felt somewhat content about it. The villain was bad. The generic background story of SADNESS DARKNESS did nothing to affect my emotions. I wish i could criticize or love the series more. But you dont really have the opportunity to do it. As Ive mentioned its a short series and its overdramaticness to the point of it looking cartoony doesnt help. The art is good I guess but art that isnt good is an outlier 5/10. Mediocre. Though there were some moments I thought were quite decent. Its not something Im gonna remember.
