My first public review, and what else do you think deserves it better than this intricate work of art? I will have to be clear and candid. This manga is a bait, like the title implies. A clear-cut one at that. No two would differ on this. However, it isn't a typical one. A masterfully woven one—if to say so is not an understatement. How else?Firstly, it labors as an insta-filter to distinguish between ones that pay attention to the media they're consuming and others that won't take more than glancing at the 'ludicrous' premise to start their barrage of hate.

Looking at the synopsis alone, you would envision something pervaded with ranges of the comical aspect, given the silly-looking premise.

Of course—as the saying goes—the first impressions are often deceiving, as that view of yours will radically shift the moment you engage with it.

The vital chord it plays on is the sentiments, and it strikes quite heavy by the end. It tries to present something of meaning—an item that lingers on your core, your heart, than merely grabbing a laugh or two. It constantly challenges itself to tickle the feelings despite having an arguably off-the-wall concept.

Last one that did it—far as my eyes spotted—was One Piece with a specific ship, and they drained a significant portion of build-up episodes for it to slightly bear fruit. Therefore, even if it failed to move you to the marrow, or you had a bone or two to pick from it, you should—at minimum—appreciate it for attempting a bizarrely difficult task.

Crystal clear theme it tried to convey is generosity is not to the people that don't earn it.
You would present, and they would take.
Not long after, that becomes a cycle. Rinse and repeat, it's no longer a thing of your choice. They would exploit that weakness and use it against you.

Say if a species of animals were known at a period of time for that characteristic. (namely unconditional altruism — as in favoring others at the expense of oneself regardless of the consequences), it wouldn't be a stretch of imagination to hold a belief that the natural selection got to them. That they wouldn't adapt; they wouldn't last long in the environment. A constant loss without gain equals eventual extinction—even if in the long term. That's just how it is in nature.

Indubitably, that doesn't work for the sapiens, as we—through the usage of the gift that developed us to be more sophisticated, otherwise known as intelligence—have significantly altered the rules of the natural selection and created societies of our own, serving as a border to protect us from all wildlife dangers—cancelling the innate need to adapt.

But the closest thing that would happen in our case had we taken that characteristic to the end of the spectrum is the complete destruction of our lives by the same of those we've been severely lavish to—it will turn to sheer manipulation.

Cast that aside, the main takeaway—at least from my perspective—from it is how we barely lose sleep over elements that don't feel alive to us.

To word it better, 'beings that aren't—or don't resemble humans and/or life forms we're used to'. The main character—the reproductive male organ—is, conventionally, an entity to mock. Making it an independent life form would warrant chuckles. To challenge that by offering an emotional take is brave.

Which brings me, if the main character was an entity of that sort or at least a being we're familiar with, would we have been more emotionally attached to it? Would we have given more care for its journey? Would we have wanted it to have a fairy tale ending? The answer is cruel yet an easy one, simply put, yes.

We need to get this thing to more people, seriously.
