God would have a stroke if he knew his lore was being used in this shit.

But Judas is hot so 🤷‍♀️

Not bad. I really liked the concept of the plot, how Judas took possession of a boy named Eve and has to kill 666 people to regain his humanity. A really interesting concept, but the execution however was pretty weak. There isn't enough character development to make me feel for any of the characters, but I do like Judas' snarkiness and how funny it is. The ending was enjoyable, with an introduction to possibly a potential antagonist. Hopefully, the second volume is better.

This one I have mixed feelings about. The premise of a death spirit possessing a human and cursed to kill a certain number of people is certainly interesting. However, I don't think the execution of the story was terribly good. Maybe because this series is geared at older teens, maybe they tone things down a bit. The chibi elements certainly don't enhance the story; they actually detract from it. However, if you can get over that, and some of the more chaotic panels, there is actually a pretty good story underneath. The volume ends with a cliffhanger when a figure fro Judas's past reappears. Curiosity might drive me to seek out the next volume, but I am in no rush. It was overall an "ok" manga when compared to others I have read.

It was interesting. I like the art. I like Mizuki and Eve. There are the standard cliches, but it was entertaining.

Interesting storyline, i like it lots, probably because i like stories having to do with the bible and stuff.

A fun twist on the events surrounding my favourite biblical black sheep.

WHY would anyone like this book enough to license it? I feel unclean.
