Weekly Shonen Jump: Shadow Eliminators Chapters  1-19 Review

The writing was on the wall from the first chapter of this one

Shadow Eliminators

(Kento Amemiya)

December 2023 to April 2024

19 Chapters

What I Liked

  • The art and character designs are super polished
  • The cult backstory was interesting
  • Character interactions, while sparse, were quite enjoyable

Where I Think Things Went Wrong

  • Main character had a boring character trait (rules are rules), a lame ability (Orihime’s shield but with weird mini houses) and no real chemistry with pretty boy other MC
  • I didn’t feel like they explained Kasane very well.
  • Lack of a good ability system.
  • Lack of plot structure. In fact it probably would have been better as Kasane-of-the-week, the story arcs were too long

Conclusion

This one really felt like it tried to be overly convoluted. And being another Bleach wanna-be didn’t do it any favours. The art is very nice though so I look forward to the mangaka’s next work.

On a side note, this series makes me miss The Phantom Seer…
