JIGOKU NO ENRA MANGA REVIEW
-SHIMADA CHIE
(JANUARY 06 2020)
Plot:
Are you kind? Do you make right things? Are your decisions the best one? Can you swear that you are doing your best to be good? What if one day, someone came and brought you to hell? What if he says you're not good enough, you will become a great sinner of the world you're living in? Will you let yourself be condemned or will you fight for what you believe in? Will you just give up or will you answer back? The heroine of the story is a strict girl. She follow rules and regulations. She always did what she thought is the right thing. Getting to know Enra, the one who claimed she's a sinner and was the reason she was dragged down to hell, she fights back and was determined to show that she is not. Accepting the deal, they were on the way of proving to one another who's the right one.
Character:
Enra's changes are really a great shift to see. How disrespectful he is from the beginning and how caring he is to the end is really something. Though its only a short story, the changes made from someone selfish to the one who cares, from the one who hold vengeance to the one who forgives, is touching. It was also good to see examples of human, how vulnerable they can be, how emotions get the best of them, how trivial things matter to them the most. It just shows human is human, imperfect yes, but truly lovable.
Art:
The art looks like somewhat "Ao No Exorcist" and "Kamisama Hajimemashita". Oh. It also looks like "Katekyo", the yaoi one. Hehe. I love how the characters are made cool and proud. Maybe, its to show that the level of Godlike like Enra is different from the normal ones. While the Heroine looks like average, Enra and his subordinate looks awesome. Since I'm not good with drawing hands, its fascinating to see the hand of Enra, polished with black color. He really suits his name, Enra.
Enjoyment:
At first, it kind of bored me since its repetitive. They find a sinner; they changed it, and all is well. It's like a loop of episodes where they find people and change them, again and again. What only differs is that there are extra characters that was being introduced along the episodes. It became exciting when the heroine goes up the list of sinners and the mystery just arises.
Ending:
In line with the mystery of the heroine, it disappoints me. Yes, they answer it but with a very poor logic. Her feelings for Enra are the reason of her rankings, yes. But why? Why is it like that? There are questions left in a puzzle. Are they going to be together? If yes, how? If no, what happens next? I just felt like there still some interesting things that can happen if only it didn't end early.
