Spoiler warning

This review may discuss plot details.

"A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another." -Chairman Mao Zedong Every individual who encounters the concept of revolution feels a deep, silent yearning within (except for the centrists who cling to the status quo). Despite its low rating, the moment I saw this manga, I felt compelled to read it. Makato possesses a zen-like ability to perceive the world in its entirety. Yuuki, a megalomaniacterrorist, is driven by an intense dissatisfaction with the current state of the world and a fervent desire to change it. Together, they begin demolishing buildings under construction with their psychic powers, dreaming of revolution.

As they engage in their so-called revolutionary activities, they seek the validation and recognition of the masses. Their actions, driven by a desire for attention, reveal the underlying hypocrisy and contradictions in their quest for change. The characters, each with their own flaws and motivations, navigate a world where their ideals clash with reality, leading to a narrative that is both banal and farcical. Despite their lofty ambitions, they are ultimately consumed by the very system they seek to overthrow, highlighting the futility of their efforts and the complexity of true revolution.

Makato, the incel who betrays the revolution for a girl. Yuuki, who becomes the very thing he despises. The loanshark's beautiful daughter. The only genuine revolutionary among them, Ootsuki. As they all become engulfed in their own hypocrisy, the narrative grows increasingly banal and farcical.

I had high hopes for a profound critique of societal issues, only to be met with a narrative that fell short of my expectations. It's always disappointing when a story doesn't live up to its potential, especially when it tackles such compelling themes like revolution and personal transformation.

For those who want to read an edgy action story about the so-called revolution, this is a quick read if you don't mind characters featuring the ugliest art style I've seen in recent times.
