it somehow feels very much like we've been here and read this story before.


but this might actually be the worse iteration of this story ... well at least the art is decent.


my two biggest problem wiht this series were that, when you make a series about superpowered people, their powers ahve to have some sort of consistency, just because some authors (like araki) are capable of bending thier rules so the powers are used creatively, it does not mean that anybody is able to do so; I remember being really annoyed on how weird and inconsistent the pwoers in this were.

and talking aobut oncsistency, the charcter actions are bad too, they seem to perform a lotof illogical, counterproductive actions, and it keeps on happening all the time, it's not something that gets fixed in alter volumes but quite the oposite,

The first chapter was the best chapter because it was the only chapter in which Eiji wasn't a drooling moron.

"Oh no, people are wearing headphones in the area where I control everything!"

Add on that the plot and characters aren't all that good either and this manga quickly became completely unreadable.

I actually followed this for 20 or so chapters when it first came out, but as you said None of the characters were likable and I quickly grew tired of Eiji too.

I felt bad after reading reviews of the anime, because at least the anime looked good. I wonder if Esuno gets inspiration for his works by being high or something.

well mirai nikki was not that bad, and it worked really well as a death note knockoff back when death note was still very popular.

I started reading this back when it started, but I don't think I got very far. I really loved Daisy though.

I'm a fan of Esuno's work, but god does he ever, without fail, fall off the rails partway through his stories. Even Hanako & The Terror of Allegory, which I loved and is one of my favourite manga, got convoluted, messy and bombastic towards the end. But part of that is what makes Esuno's stuff fun, in a sort of trashy way, I guess.

I should continue reading Big Order some time.

I just want to point out that (if I remember correctly) Eiji's powers granted him total control over the world but, when the world began falling apart the fairy sealed them.

When she unseals them she doesn't give them back completely but gives him the "Territory" thingy so the destruction doesn't happen again.

Estonia probably got destroyed too since at the time his "Territory" was the whole world.

Outside of that, the Manga is a disaster and I dropped it after the 20th chapter.
