Fucked up.

[Ricardo Matos · Rating 3 out of 5]

The first two volumes set up a really complex story that was hard to complete in this short third volume. Ending felt rushed, but not necessarily unsatisfying... it ended how it should imho, but I'm sure a lot would disagree.
In the midst of all the comedy and insanity, there are some really broken characters that stand out. This is a novelization of 6 20 minute episodes so the ideas could have been developed into much more. Nevertheless it was a Fully Cooly read :D

Some series are just better as an anime than as a manga series. I wasn't entirely sure what was going on for most of it, but apparently this series is supposed to be a metaphor for pubescent angst so maybe that's the point? Anyway, I would still recommend the anime to anyone who wants to experience this series.

Was hoping it'd have something extra beyond the anime but it essentially lines up 1:1 perfectly
