My Daughter Is Trying to Change the Law So That She Can Marry Me, Her Daddy, but She Doesn’t Know That She Is a “Stepdaughter”

Oh, so you're saying all three will end up together?

is there a schedule for update?

Thank you for the reviews, only a few more chapters to upload before I hit complete on my first story on Goodnovel.

I knew I wasn't going to be disappointed when it's Dally. Even though this is a used plot, I'm glad it doesn't have the cliche pregnancy.

Coming right off of the unfulfilling conclusion of the anime, I didn't have high hopes for the Deadman Wonderland manga. I expected it to be just another "action and gore fest" like many other manga-inspired anime I'd seen before. (I'm looking at you, Tokyo Ghoul.)

Imagine my surprise when I actually started reading it.

The story took me by storm with how far it went while maintaining its ultra-grim and dark atmosphere, which the show had set up. (Honestly, it was probably even darker than the anime.)

The manga delivered so many twists and turns that I genuinely began to care about the characters and their fates by the end. It has a similar vibe to Berserk (another incredible manga), where anything can happen at any moment, making several parts (especially towards the climax) an absolute thrill to read.

Some viewers might hesitate to dive into this manga due to its "extreme violence" and "anything goes" nature. To be honest, yes, it can get quite graphic at times (even more so than the show). But for those who can handle such content and keep going, you'll discover that this is definitely a manga worth your time.

So yes, I highly recommend this manga to anyone who enjoys dark and unpredictable storylines, and it's a must-read for fans of the show. I give it an 8/10.

There are some Spoilers in this Review. About 4 volumes or so.

Hey Hey People, Shell Here.

Deadman Wonderland begins with a massacre of the protagonist's class, and with him being pinned as the main culprit, coupled with Japan's incredibly questionable police force, he is given the death penalty. However, in 2013, there was a massive earthquake which caused 70% of Tokyo to be submerged underwater. To restore Japan to its former glory, a prison named Deadman Wonderland was established—a for-profit prison. Now, ten years since the earthquake, Ganta (the main character) is sent here to face the consequences of his alleged crimes. He soon realizes that this prison is far more than it seems and just how much of a circus a for-profit prison can become.

Deadman Wonderland is quite a by-the-book series. The protagonist is a nice guy who often finds himself following girls around or vice versa. He discovers that what he knew wasn't the truth and deals with situations where everyone wins. This cycle repeats through various subplots, culminating in a 13-volume series. Don't get me wrong; despite my observations, I didn't feel the series was repeating itself. It always felt like the story was moving forward, pausing only to give proper breathing room. However, there are a few issues, but first, I'd like to discuss what I liked about the series.

The art and setting of this series are fantastic. It felt like I was being drawn into another world. Much of this can be attributed to the excellent art style the series employs. It genuinely does an outstanding job. I have nothing but praise for the art. The author never seemed to cut corners.

This is also one of the battle shounen series where the ecchi is separate from the action, and the author isn't trying to shove panties and breasts into my face every five seconds. Characters do occasionally engage in sexualized behavior, but more during exposition to keep the reader engaged. And you know what? It works because I'm a red-blooded male, damn it!

The main issue I have with this series boils down to character depth—or more importantly, the lack thereof. Sure, the action and art are great to look at, but after a while, what's the point if I don't care about the characters? That's the primary problem with Deadman Wonderland. Both Shiro (female main character) and Ganta were fine as the main characters, but neither of them can really carry the series. Together, they made it somewhat interesting since you partially knew where the story was heading. Alone... it just doesn't work.

This becomes a much bigger issue in the final arc, where the last fight is meant to be emotional rather than something bloody, violent, or action-heavy. Honestly, the final fight scene was probably the most boring fight scene in the entire series.

Should you read this manga? Well, it depends. The side characters, action, and story are interesting enough. But at the same time, it's predictable and lacks the character depth a series like Kingdom or One Piece would provide.

Overall, the series is enjoyable enough. I don't really have anything super bad to say about this series. But if you skip it, you aren't missing much either. It just basically falls into the enjoyable but forgettable zone of entertainment. 6/10.

Deadman Wonderland, though not without its flaws, is an exceptional manga. While I hold the anime adaptation in high regard, the manga surpasses it in both quality and depth, providing closure to the story and exploring narratives that the anime never reached. If you cherished the show, the manga will undoubtedly offer even more satisfaction.

It's important to mention that this series isn't suited for everyone. If graphic violence and dark themes aren't your preference, this might not align with your tastes.

Story: 8/10  
In my view, the narrative is the manga's least strong aspect. Initially, it feels somewhat formulaic with its death game premise, but as the story progresses, it evolves significantly (a trend that holds true for most elements of this series).

Art: 10/10  
The artistic style of this manga is truly remarkable and deserves repeated appreciation. The design of each "Branch of Sin" is distinct and captivating, and many individual panels during battles are breathtaking. The action sequences are executed masterfully, setting this series apart. Even outside of combat scenes, the artists skillfully convey character personality through expressions. All character designs, while some (like Shiro) may initially seem surprising, are excellent and suit their respective characters perfectly.

Characters: 9/10  
Ganta often receives criticism, yet when considering his circumstances—a young boy thrust into a horrific situation—his resilience and loyalty to his friends become admirable traits that make him a compelling protagonist. The manga's extended storyline allows for significant character growth, enhancing his appeal. This is where the anime falls short; the manga introduces memorable characters such as Chaplin, Idaki, and Azami, who were absent from the show. Chaplin, in particular, stands out as one of the best-written and most likable transgender characters in manga. Each character in Deadman Wonderland is flawed and broken, which paradoxically makes them endearing. Their imperfections humanize them, enabling readers to empathize and connect with them deeply.

Enjoyment: 10/10  
This rating is subjective, but I thoroughly enjoyed this manga. As someone who had only watched anime before, the incomplete nature of the show motivated me to explore the manga. Ultimately, the manga excels in nearly every category compared to the anime and is well worth investing time into.

Overall: 9/10  
While not flawless, Deadman Wonderland is an outstanding manga that deserves greater recognition.

Deadman Wonderland is by no means the greatest manga of all time, yet it's far from being bad. This manga boasts an intriguing concept. In Deadman Wonderland, characters can attack using their own blood—a concept that might initially seem straightforward and one that has appeared in other series before Deadman Wonderland. However, Deadman Wonderland distinguishes itself.

The protagonist, Igarashi Ganta, finds himself wrongfully accused of slaughtering his classmates because he was the sole survivor. During this incident, the true killer embedded a Red Diamond into Ganta's chest, transforming him into a Deadman.

Following his wrongful conviction, Ganta is sent to a prison named Deadman Wonderland, which gives the series its title. But this isn't your typical penitentiary. It serves as a facility to incarcerate Deadmen from across the globe. Essentially, they round up Deadmen and lock them away, regardless of whether they've committed any wrongdoing. Alongside these special prisoners are regular inmates. Occasionally, the prison hosts events called 'Carnival Corpse,' where two Deadmen battle until one is incapacitated or killed. The victor earns prize money, while the loser loses a body part.

Ganta forms alliances with fellow inmates to escape Deadman Wonderland and confront its owner, Tamaki, a bespectacled man who, despite his seemingly ordinary appearance, proves to be an engaging villain. Much of the manga revolves around the prison, and I believe it wouldn't be the same without Tamaki's presence. He adds depth to the narrative.

The art style in the manga is commendable. Created by Kataoka Jinsei and Kondo Kazuma, both artists bring remarkable talent to the table. Initially, I assumed only Kataoka Jinsei was responsible for the series, so discovering Kondo Kazuma's involvement was a pleasant surprise.

Character-wise, the manga shines. One standout character is Takami Minatsuki, my personal favorite. Beyond Minatsuki, numerous other compelling characters deserve mention. Character development is strong overall, though some designs may appear unconventional.

Chaplin Sukegawa, a transgender character, initially had an odd design, but I grew accustomed to it after learning about their backstory. This highlights the effective character development throughout the series.

Idaki Hitara is an elderly Deadman who allegedly hasn't slept for 30 years. He communicates telepathically with his daughter, though details remain somewhat vague. A revelation about him later in the series genuinely shocked me, but I'll refrain from spoilers.

Sakigami Toto ranks among my top Deadman Wonderland characters and villains. Starting as a minor Deadman, Toto evolves into a key antagonist. His striking appearance, name, and personality make him unforgettable, despite limited development.

Kiyomasa Senji is the first Deadman we encounter besides Ganta. Initially suspected by Ganta of being the "Red Man," the real killer of his friends, subtle differences in their smiles clear Senji. He mentors Ganta on using his Branch of Sin effectively, becoming a close ally post-Carnival Corpse.

Takami Yoh, Minatsuki's brother, is the sole main character not classified as a Deadman. His deep devotion to Minatsuki drives him to protect her and secure her freedom. His growth throughout the series—becoming smarter and more resourceful—is admirable.

Tsunenaga Tamaki, the initial antagonist and prison owner, views everything as a "game." Obsessed with experimentation, he likely conceived the Carnival Corpse for extracting Deadman body parts. While his development isn't as robust as Ganta's, it's serviceable.

Finally, Igarashi Ganta rounds out our discussion. Beginning as an ordinary boy, tragic events transform him into a Deadman. Initially weak, Ganta undergoes significant growth, emerging as one of the strongest characters. His development is my favorite aspect of the series.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! POSSIBLE SPOILERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, let's delve into the arcs. The opening 'Prison' arc introduces the setting and characters but lacks excitement. I'd rate it 6/10.

The second arc, the 'Deadman' arc, introduces the Carnival Corpse, adding intrigue. Here, we meet Senji, witness Ganta's first victory, and gain deeper insights into the world. I give it 7/10.

The third arc, the 'Scar Chain' arc, significantly expands the story. Ganta and his allies attempt to escape the prison and eliminate Genkaku Azuma, an interesting character. New characters join the fray, showcasing various Deadman abilities. Ganta grows stronger here. I rate this arc 8/10.

The fourth arc, the 'Forgery' arc, feels peculiar. Tamaki creates masked beings known as Forgeries with immense power. Ganta and his friends devise strategies to remove the masks, restoring normalcy. I assign it a 7/10.

The fifth arc, the 'Revolt' arc, sees Tamaki enlisting Ganta's help to kill the Wretched Egg "Red Man." Ganta declines, leading to encounters with more Forgeries and eventual escape. Outside, Ganta uncovers the true identity of the Wretched Egg just as the prison explodes. This arc earns 9/10.

The final arc, 'Return to Deadman Wonderland,' is exceptional. Characters return to the prison to confront the true founder and the Wretched Egg. It's a thrilling conclusion. I award it a perfect 10/10.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPOILERS FINISHED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed this series, completing it in four days. Despite having other commitments and not wanting to rush through it, the story captivated me. It's now one of my favorites. Remember, favoritism doesn't equate to a 10/10 rating—that's one of my rules.

Considering all factors, including the last arc's excellence, I still rate the series 9/10. It has its flaws and isn't the best ever created, but I adore it. It remains a favorite, especially since my manga reading experience is still growing. For now, it holds a cherished spot in my list.
