Wahhhh This was my first esports novel and it was really great
Can't believe now it's the end QAQ
I really really love this novel
Thank you very for your hard work author and translator
They had me hooked in the first half, and I’d describe Acony that way.
Starting with a mysterious vibe, the author's use of vivid colors in drawing Acony initially gave me the impression that this was going to be a gothic horror. And indeed, it leaned into that genre in the early stages. Interestingly, the afterwords mention that even the author wasn’t sure about the genre for this manga, pondering whether they should incorporate more comedy.
I’m a fan of comedy, and after hearing so much about its humor, Acony certainly delivered on that front.
I also appreciated how Volume 1 began with an art style that felt 'contemporary,' perfectly complementing the mystery atmosphere. Then, as the story progressed, the art gradually shifted to a more naturalistic style while still maintaining those angsty undertones.
It started as a mystery and was cleverly infused with comedy along the way.
(Spoiler begins)
I loved how the author wrapped up the mystery aspect relatively early, by the third volume, preventing it from falling into the trap of "Now we have the answer, so the manga must end." After resolving the mystery, the second half of the third volume became lighter, filled with more comedy, and concluded with a heartfelt farewell.
(Spoiler ends)
Of course, there’s something uniquely captivating about mysteries, especially when they feel grounded in real-life possibilities.
Would I recommend you read Acony?
Absolutely. Despite some readers potentially being indifferent to the art style, I encourage you to stick with it. Savor the blend of comedy and mystery packed into just three volumes.
This is my second review, so I'm not exactly an expert, but I'll try my best.
Story (7/10)
While a significant portion of the manga revolves around the characters' random mishaps and adventures, there is indeed a central plot: the two main characters, Acony and Motomi, are on a quest to find Acony's mother, who vanished following an accident in her laboratory.
It might get confusing at times, but it will certainly keep you intrigued, and everything will come together by the end.
Art (8/10)
In general, the art style is fairly simple and somewhat basic; however, considerable detail is dedicated to depicting the apartment building and its garden, where much of the story unfolds.
Characters (9/10)
Characters are my favorite aspect of any anime or manga, and after reading this, I was definitely not let down.
The writer takes the time to introduce and gradually reveal more about each of the tenants living in this supernatural apartment complex, and they are all unique and original. From Mrs. Misono, who can transform, to Froggie, the swordsman, and our main characters, Motomi and Acony, all the characters are fantastic.
Enjoyment (10/10)
It's a pleasant manga that may appear strange initially, but becomes heartwarming once you dive into it.
