Interesting buildup, but annoying side characters and poor ending. I enjoyed the foreboding and terrifying atmosphere and the stark hopelessness of the situation our characters find themselves in, but the ending was poorly put together and a bit abrupt. It gives off the feeling that the series was canceled.
It basically ends with our characters looking out across a snowy landscape. Everyone is dead, but hey our main characters got to see a pretty sunrise. It's a pretty poor way of conveying hope for the future in the final chapter.
All the villainous characters are drawn to look as evil and buffoonish as possible. There is
...
this one really annoying teacher that is part of the main group, and he is so openly corrupt and evil that he becomes annoying to see on every page because it's always makes want to skip dialogue till when he's not on the page anymore. I hate these series where the group of survivors are escaping, but they allow this one character who is so selfish and evil it begs the question on whether our main heroes are thinking straight. Every word that comes out of this character's mouth compels me to wonder why he hasn't been written out of the story, and then he survives till the end and is literally on the very last picture of the chapter. This is a bit of a rant of a review, but I stress that this character actively degrades the story once you've gotten annoyed with his presence.
The art is decent, and the apocalypse aspect is well done. I like the way they kept introducing new threats. At the end it sort of starts to feel like the world is being divided between all the various animalistic threats. I liked that the government feels as competent as a government could be in this situation.
If you are looking for a relatively short survival manga then this one would be a good read just to engage with the apocalypse side of the story, but the characters may leave something to be desired.
