I didn’t know this manga got a MAL page, but I guess it did — this review is off the top of my head, and I didn’t reread the manga to make this, so take it how you will.

To be clear, genre shift isn't a bad thing. In fact it's a trope that was present in some of the best medias that came to us from Japan. However, those shifts require a good execution to avoid alienating your audience. In most successful examples, the tone shift typically respects some or all of the following principles:
