This manga is really great and will surprise anyone who might dismiss it based on its seemingly silly synopsis. The artwork is excellent, with beautiful paneling that makes full use of every page, creating a fantastic reading flow, sometimes even a bit rushed, as it feels like the mangaka wanted more volumes, which particularly affects the final volume, as I’ll mention later. The three main characters are fantastic, each with their own distinct personalities and unique charm. The dynamic between the loli assassin and the desperate grandpa is amazing, there’s no sexual or romantic undertone whatsoever, and it’s clear he sees her as a granddaughter hewants to save at all costs. The author handles the passage of time in a somewhat messy way, but you tend to overlook it since this is primarily a comedy manga. Still, it can be jarring at times that everything happens in less than 24 hours. The story also dives heavily into themes that the average adult might dismiss as conspiracy theories, pitting our protagonists against bankers and the new world order.
The manga’s biggest issue lies in the final two volumes, where everything feels extremely rushed. The author tries to portray two genocidal characters as heroes by throwing in sad flashbacks, but it doesn’t resonate with the reader, who ends up focusing on the injustice instead. The author even derails their own characters to make this work, which feels off. To make matters worse, the ending clearly needed another 2 or 3 chapters, it’s so rushed that it leaves a bittersweet taste, almost like the series was canceled.
Overall, it’s a great manga that’s absolutely worth reading and would make an amazing anime!
