Synopsis

With the upcoming inter high basketball tournament coming up, Akira Takashiro and Eiji Kudou declared a competition: whoever scores more points in the tournament will confess to Miku Aizawa, the girl they both have had a crush on since childhood. However, just as the rivalry was to be resolved, an earthquake knocks Akira out. When he wakes up, he finds hideous monsters swarming his school, leaving tons of corpses and blood on the ground...

Where is Eiji? What is happening? And why? As he moves on, shocking revelations will be unveiled, and maybe there's something deeper that the government is hiding.

You will not, ever in the course of reading this manga, ever guess who the real main character is. It will tickle the back of your mind, nagging at you that there is a recess of information hidden from you but the absurdity of this hypothetical makes it all the more unlikely so you're left in a state of false confidence that you know what is truly going on whilst hidden machinations are at play. You tell yourself, surely a manga wouldn't let THAT PERSON be the main character you delude yourself, your denial is reinforced by the handsome "protagonist" the story follows ...

Preliminary (74/82 eps)
i will say, the beginning of this manga is good and just what you think it is. a horror story about surviving a monster apocalypse. but as the story goes on, it starts to go from a survival horror to a gory shonen that has no idea what it wants to be.

after about 30 chapters, the story jumps the shark and starts to become Gants and Parasite the maximum.

it then just keeps going from their with the story not knowing what it wants to ...

Is it really that hard to make a manga about humanity fighting against monsters and then actually keep it being about humanity fighting against monsters?

Look, I understand how tempting it is to go the “humans bad too” route. Betrayals, deranged individuals, abuse of authority, abuse of strength, government being useless and perfectly okay with sacrificing common citizens, I’m not saying it’s not realistic, I’m saying it’s boring to get this very shallow take when you could instead get cool monster fights. Is it too much to ask for to have a story about an alien threat and the focus not being on infighting between humans? ...
