The darkest WSJ title in a little while 😮
Dear Anemone
(Rin Matsui)
February 2024 to June 2024
17 Chapters
What I Liked
- Science!
- Accurate on the harshness of nature
- It was the right level of violent
- The girls were pretty cool
- It was actully pretty funny in parts!
Where I Think Things Went Wrong
- The main character and the friend he was searching for probably weren’t ‘cool’ enough for the target demographic
- More straight science, not the easy to digest Dr Stone edutainment kinda science
- The goals weren’t terribly gripping (find the research notes and his buddy)
- No power structure and lack of explanation on how and why the characters had their powers
Conclusion
Surprisingly there seemed to be a lot more information on the animals and not the flowers. I would have liked to learn more about plants and for there to have been more plant people.
Overall I actually really liked this series. I quite liked all the characters (despite being seemingly unable to remember most of their names…) and it was right on my gore tolerance threshold. I will forever remember this series for ‘loot my own corpse’ dude 🤣 I guess this series might have done better in general Jump Plus, but it would have overlapped too much with Wild Strawberry. I hope it gets a proper epilogue, that ending was very abrupt and generically vague.
