A Review of The Gods Lie or Gods Truth or something shit. spoilers and sarcasm Hi Its me again here reviewing some manga stuff so heres my review or re thingy. this was my first time reviewing manga I dont think its amazing I am still currently 2/21/2022 perfecting my critic/reviewing skills but this was before I was even at my current level so please dont judge my entire talent of reviewing based off this lol I would say Ive gotten better since then and yeah I edited some stuff to make it better but Its still not the greatest review ever lol This also wasnt supposed to be entirely serious and I was very tired because I had finished this manga at like 2 am or some shit so I was almost passing out lol so imma stop saying why it isnt my best lol anyways enjoy I guess The Secret 5000https://kodansha.us/wpcontent/uploads/2020/12/GodsLieSeriesIMG1200x9601024x819.jpg The driving force of the story Nanao our main guy a sixthgrade soccer player finds out that Suzumura Rio a classmate and fellow 11 years old with her brother are living alone with no parents. A surprising fact to Nanao who tries to keep this a secret the entire story. The First Lie. MC talks to his mother about going to a soccer camp thingy over the summer Im fucking tired Im writing this at 4 am But he lies the first lie... SEE WHAT I DID THERE... Anyways he goes over to Girl MCs place and he spends time there see I dont know how long Im not sure what they said Anyways at some point Rio tells him their father visits each summer. Fast Foward its the day of a festival and its the day the father comes A Fathers Lie He ends up not coming... A Fathers Lie to his children... They figure that they better just go to the festival because they figure out the asshole aint comin so... MC fell in love... With her obviously... They come back and apparently the beetle thing that I didnt figure to mention died so MC buries it. The kid is sad so... He IG tries to dig it back up IDK lol. But then he finds another secret... Jesus how many secrets at this point... The body... The Body of their dead grandfather... Obviously after a little talking MC runs off to his mother and stuff then we get her backstory... Apparently one day The Father said hey Im going to get crabs in Alaska... FUCKING ALASKA??? YOU BELIEVE THAT?? Okay Okay theyre kids but like alright never mind lmaooo. SO YEAH he goes and CRABS in Alaska some type of crabs alright idk bout the food kind. Anyways so she goes to the festival Im guessing or some mall or some shit. The kid and the grandpa want to go upstairs... Younger Brother of Female MC accidentally accidentally... CMON WE ALL KNOW HE IS A MURDERER FUCKIN PLANNED IT OUT Im kidding like /s or whatever. Anyways he accidentally tips his grandpa over and hes not breathing well when GIRLMC comes back. Shes like welp gotta bury em buries him in the yard ig sad ik sad. It was actually sad for seriousness. AND WERE BACK TO THE PRESENT. RUN FOREST RUN. They run away because he comes back unphased like yeah I love this girl who buried her grandpappy. yes I get it makes at least half sense So they go to someplace far away after traveling on a bus end up in some hotel they get a room then the hotel personnel rats on them to the cops understandable I wouldnt want kids in my hotel either They come back home after runnin away mom not angry with her child. The 2 kids there holy shit my headset is playing Lose Yourself by Eminem YESSS oh right: a review. they get sent to some home and mom is not mad with her kid like I said. So one day MC getss call with FEMALEMC shes like: yo lets meet again but imma say it in a way that can be used as an ending text. okay so there is also a whole theme of even god lies HAHAHA THATs THE NAME OF THE MANGA and how his father lied to him about living and fmcs dad really didnt go to alaska noooooooo really? actually that was surprising lol and he was in the town the entire time and he was just tired of living with his family like what? Anyways how did your reviewer like it well here: it was quite good I liked the overall theme the art was extremely solid the main 2 were pretty cool the little brother was adorable... the ending felt anticlimatic a tad bit like yeah lets meet again like sure but... SO like I normally hate the distant finale trope but it was pretty good in this the one that ruined this trope for me was anyways they did it pretty well. The characters are pretty decent their character designs are quite okay. I thought the older sisters relationship to her brother was very interesting to see how a child raises a child if that makes sense. I thought it was pretty well handled in general the topic of abandonment. Its not the greatest piece of media ever to exist but I thought it was pretty good. A lot of the secrets were quite good like I thought the character development was quite good I guess it could have been a bit stronger but children having to carry this with them and then them running away all of the pressure. I mean be in this girls position having to raise a child by herself while shes like Eleven herself and like then this other kid comes in and now she has the pressure that he will also keep that secret she doesnt wanna be possibly separated from her brother either so she has to keep the secret that she doesnt have any guardian with her. Its kinda nuts but I think its handled pretty well. Anyway I enjoyed it quite a bit and recommend it. Plot: 7.5/10 Characters: 7.9/10 Themes: 9.7/10 Art: 9/10 Ending: 7/10 Overall pretty solid... Overall: 7.9/10
