Guruguru Circus · review
Spoiler warning
This review may discuss plot details.
This had some cool art (both light gore and minor ecchi), but there was overall little substance to the story. I think this would have been much better served with some more time to develop its plot and have a slower revelation of the killer, the circus disease, and the "soul weapons". About three-quarters of the oneshot were discussing the mystery of the murders happening in the city, but the explanation and resolution of how the killer could use invisible weapons was rushed. Kusakabe's transition seemed to be hinted at with a brief panel showing her background at the circus, but her killer persona seemedVERY random and resulted in a quasi-nonsensical conclusion where the protagonist suddenly became infected with the circus disease and Kusakabe possibly died?
Overall, a short read if you're looking for some horror, but certainly not worth reading except to long-time genre fans.
