Kikaijikake no Juvenile

A manga that takes place in a world where soldiers are enhanced with cybernetic prosthetics. A young cybernetic mechanic must use this weapon to get revenge on the criminals who murdered his mother.

A new series by PACT creator Shinnosuke Kuji. I really like the intensity of Kuji’s art when he draws characters who are just fuming for revenge. He conveys anger with heavy detailing on faces that juxtapose their overall simple designs.

With PACT I really hated how generic his overall design aesthetic was and unfortunately I haven’t really seen a great improvement here. I’m hoping that the story will makeup for that as I continue to check it out.

Currently running in Young Magazine the 3rd.
