Spoiler warning

This review may discuss plot details.

This is a manga series serving as a Spiderverse spinoff, I believe. It follows Doc Ock getting isekai'd into the body of a Japanese schoolgirl, making a split personality type of thing. Sadly, the series was quite underwhelming. Doc Ock's motivation as a villain here felt too righteous than what I expected but I'm sure there's probably a storyline somewhere that did the same thing. The characters are not all that engaging. Otoha, the girl harboring Ock's mind in her body, is probably the only likeable character in the manga, mainly because she's a bundle of sunshine. Although, she's still a pretty "safe" character andher arc is not all that compelling because of it.

Taka is our other main character serving as this universe's Vulture. Her arc also felt middling despite it encompassing the entire series. I just didn't really connect with her and her teenage angst which felt forced in some ways. Other characters like Maruko and Deirogi had their own arcs and they were also both very bad, particularly Deirogi's. I did not care for her becoming a less selfish person. She was a bully character who was just an annoying thorn with no screentime and the arc's purpose was to make us care for her, albeit unsuccessfully. Maruko's arc also came out of nowhere and both generally feel like they just had to pad out volumes or something.

The appearance of Superior Spider gave me a bit of hope that we were gonna get something interesting but the presentation of how he was handled after his introduction was not at all noteworthy. He was just there and the same goes for Sakura Spider, whom was even more "just there". The consistent streak of mid never stopped even when we got to the final arc. Otoha's teacher became crazy for literally no reason. Dunno why they did that. Not to sound like i'm thirsting for edge but I think this story would've been better if it was a little darker. Cut out everyone else except for the Ocks and the main thing with Otoha and Taka. A lot of unnecessary fat for characters nobody's gonna care for. Also, Superior and Sakura should've frenched. That is all. Octo-Girl gets a 5/10.
