CW: Manga Spoilers: Shojo Null
I really enjoyed Shojo Null. Frankly, I wish it was given a longer, final arc. Give me that final Gijin / Humanity war. Give me that arc.
But, oh well.
I am glad for the story I was given and hope we get more good stories from this team in the future.

CW: Manga Spoilers: Shojo Null
...It ended with a flash forward blast over two ending chapters.
It ended with a final, closing chapter that was spent predominantly within the combined consciousness of all Gijin as Marie tried to find the deceased Riaha.
It was kind of a cute way to end it, but also, an odd way to end it.
It told, not showed how the ultimate war between mankind and Gijin went. Also, anti-war protesters were listened to in that world - what a world to live in.
The social commentary this series had on police abuse was incredible.

CW: Manga Spoilers: Shojo Null
Shojo Null ended this week and I'm filled with a mix of emotions.
First, this was one of my favorite current ongoing series. The entire premise was wild. A world where organic robots are believed to be without sentience, but they actually have it, are basically humans with a combined consciousness - except that the government forces them to not with a device plugged into their head so they can be used as soldiers or as disposable servants.
The series had been ramping up with Riaha (human) finally cornering the security leaders from the government who were after him and Marie about to be stopped. It was a wild final arc. But...

For this #MangaMonday here are two new #Manga series. Both are free on the Viz.com web or app.
“Wild Strawberry” by Ire Yonemoto (5 chapters) takes place in a Tokyo infested by a contagion that causes people to erupt into plant monsters. Kingo's adopted sister is infected. She's somehow containing it, but hosts are burned on sight.
The real attraction here is the laboriously detailed art. Characters are often depicted with an aura just to keep them from being lost in the background detail.
“Shojo Null” by Kanae Nakanishi & Akima (4 chapters) posits a world where 'Gijin' androids do the dirty work of society. They appear to have no free will, but a few people know that is solely because their hardware overrides it. Riaha finds a military-grade Gijin who manages to free herself and sets out to create a world where all Gijin can be free, *whatever* it takes.
If you read “Chobits” and thought it needed more righteous violence, this is for you.

Hmm. First chapter of #ShojoNull was pretty crazy. I definitely think it’s worth people checking out if you want some sci-fi gore type of Shonen. #manga #mangadon
