Huh. Somehow there is comedy in this thing.Was there though? Lol, read the chapter and mostly everything just seems so…blah. Also I didn't realize until halfway that the other angel was male. Also...his crush is super bland.

I hate it when that happens

Also I'll voice my complaints too. The series is a winner-take-all battle royale between a dozen individuals that will probably take place over a long time period. What then should be the most interesting and important part of the narrative? The characters! A story like that MUST have interesting characters. And yet this one doesn't. They are extremely bland and really uninteresting.

It's possibly because she's probably not really into him, but yeah, she's pretty flat
-
Yeah, I think I'm done with this. I gave it a couple chapters due to the great track record of the team but its just so… meh. I can live without seinin Shaman King in my life, I think.
-
It just feels like Death Note but with no charisma whatsoever.Yeah, i'm dropping this.
-
Death note was miles, MILES away better from Platinum End. Characters are totally bland, powers are less interesting than the Death note and narrative work seems below average. I give it a chance because, Death note volume 1 to volume 7 is my favorite manga by far, but I'm just dropping it.

Note sure if anyone is still reading this but there is a new chapter:

! Well the "mindgames" have begun but they basically make no sense and take place between extremely boring characters. Ugh, I' not really sure why I'm still reading this
-
Heh, I actually kinda liked this chapter. Finally they are back to mind games, its where they do best.

I stopped reading when the Kamen Rider appeared.
Oh, I see they keep at it…
-
Maybe if they done that a few chapters ago…And with the main character.
-
Usually I think you guys are way too hard with this manga, as if at some point someone said "hey, let's hate this manga? It will be fun".
But, man, this chapter was terrible! I thought it was never gonna end, honestly. It could be interesting if we were presented to the characters before and actually knew them, but no. We couldn't even see their faces most of the time, making any already slim chance of relating to them completely non-existent. Awful.
-
Those guys were triggering loser flags all over the place that it was just a race to the finish.
-

Yeah dude there's like 6 power rangers now
-
The gender of Saki's angel is god damn confusing. A wild Hiramaru appeared.
-
@le:
A wild Hiramaru appeared.
I'm not even sure Hiramaru could save this manga now
-
I'm confused by the established rules. Wasn't it actually shown that a person affected by the red arrow even was willing to kill him-/herself as soon as it's ordered? That's why the aunt killed herself. So why did this change now?

The red arrow's control becomes weaker when there are more than one person being controlled.
-
So has everyone here just dropped this series?

No, I still read it on a monthly basis because I am a disillusioned fan.
I still have faith towards it becoming Death Note-ish. -
NOOOOOOO not the I love my sister plot again slams laptop
What's with Japanese sister fetish anyway? Never understood its appeal. -
Honestly this is the best chapter yet. Cancer guy and rich-school guy are more interesting than any of the other characters we've seen so far.
-
I liked the cancer guy. Interesting to see an adult.
But the overdone precious little sister stuff sort of put me off.
-
I must say,
Hiramarucancer dad is a rather likeable character. The MC is a boring guy tho. -
I just discovered this is a thing. I suppose nobody cares about it for a good reason ?
-
I read it monthly because I want to see the different candidates and their respective angels.
The main character is boring and so is the main villain ( the everything goes according to my plans lelouch/light/aizen type)however the cancer guy is the most interesting character in the story so far , I hope he won't get killed. -

Pretty much everyone read the first chapter and went "ehhhhhh". Those that held on to the second chapter then went "meeeeh." Mostly everyone saw it as a ripoff of the creatives teams on work on Death Note, and the Reversi series in Bakuman… crossed with Shaman King. But without any likeable or interesting characters and pointless "shock" value. So being very familiar retread ground with nothing to latch on to character wise, well....
And that there is anyone else still reading it, or that it is even still running, is a huge surprise to me. I'd forgotten it existed.
Maybe watch it when the inevitable anime comes.
-
I also stopped reading, but maybe I'll somewhen give it another try.
I'm also glad that the cancer guy still lives. As I had the feeling he'll finally just end dying and hyping up the villain.
