Synopsis

For Haruka Nozaki, moving from Tokyo to the small town of Ootsuuma was life-changing—but not in a good way. Half a year later, Nozaki is miserable; she is relentlessly bullied by her classmates, who use her as an outlet for their pent-up rage and frustration. Though she could, Nozaki does not retaliate nor tell her parents, as she does not want to worry them. With this mentality, she is prepared to endure until graduation.

But when her bullies put her through a particularly harrowing ordeal, her parents become aware of the situation and allow Nozaki to stop attending school. However, this only instigates the bullies, leading them to take an irreversible step which shatters her world forever. Now utterly devastated, Nozaki feels a burning ferocity swell inside her, one which her bullies can only hope to escape from.

Story – 6,5/10 – 6,5 x 0.275 = 1,7875
Art – 7,5/10 – 7,5 x 0.2 = 1,57

Total: 7,1075 -> 7

Story – 6,5/10
... Misumisou’s story is a dark tale about bullying and how bullying can affect those who suffer from it.
Misumisou is a manga made by Rensuke Oshikiri that depicts a scenario of severe abuse and heavy bullying and how the victim can act when deprived of everything. It also seems to have been made by someone who actually suffered from bullying: the fears that it may affect our family are there, that the bullies’ evil intents may stop at nothing, and the rage that the protagonist – Nozaki – had to lash out at anyone who made her life unbearable is also present. It seems a story written by the victim, a projection of what the author would have liked to do in a situation akin to that of the protagonist.
However, although Misumisou hit a nerve in terms of bullying, it is also a little bit over the top sometimes, especially with the malice and the violence that it depicts.
There is also something fundamentally wrong with Misumisou: while the story escalates well at start, it doesn't manage to maintain that intensity. It unsuccessfully uses violence as way to provoke the reader, escalate the story even further, and move the plot forward. It does, however, portray how abuses only gives rise to more abuse.
The ending is lacking, and we feel as if something has been left out.

Art – 7,5/10
Misumisou’s art style is quite unique in its approach to emotions, as one can quickly read the room, but not much else.
The panels have a good cadence that makes the story easy to follow, but the character design is lacking, making characters hard to tell apart. This is especially true in crucial scenes where understanding the character in front of us would have been fundamental.
The backgrounds and the landscapes are also sufficiently detailed to be a joy to look at. They also help in building the depressive atmosphere that is quintessential to the manga.

Characters – 6/10
Misumisou’s cast isn’t very large, and can be summed up mainly as the bullies and their families, the victims and their families and friends, and the teachers of the school. There is also one character that, while being a victim, is fundamental to the bullies desires and objectives. Most of the story happens between the main victim – Nozaki – and his companion – Aiba – and the two main bullies.
Their interactions make up most of the manga and are well done, especially when emotions – that are essential in this emotionally driven story – come to the fore.

Enjoyment – 8/10
Misumisou is a quick read, but it is an engaging story that is hard to drop once it has been started. This is fundamental to understand the enjoyment that Misumisou provides. The story’s violence and malice serve as fuel to the interest of the reader, making us always wonder what is going to happen next. The story, although not stellar, picks up quite well some of the fears that the victims of bullying have in a unique way, and although some of it may be over the top, I still believe it deserves, although not enthusiastically, a recommendation.

Mixed Feelings

this might be the simplest and the shortest revenge manga i ever seen.

there is nothing special about this manga. its just revenge with gore. there is nothing more. author tried to add depth to the characthers and actually he did good for a 21 chapter manga but the charachter developments were too fast. and it didnt make sense most of the time i couldnt understand why did he/she did ''that''

i expected big plot twists but there was literally nothing in this manga it is just a emotion rain if you get bulllied when you were kid or you still get bullied this might be ...

Not Recommended

This is my first time writing a review so if it isn't the best then you know why.

This manga was so unbelievably disappointing. Going into this I thought it would have at least some type of twist on it but no, it does not. It is the cliche revenge story but the characters are all horrible. Not a single character is relatable and they all act so atrociously crummy. Maybe the horrible characters are just part of the story because most of the characters are insane but it's still not a good representation.

For there to ...
