I do like the art and it’s a supernatural tale. That part I liked, however, one of our main characters makes himself a girl. Very much Weird Science movie vibes. When they made this girl, he made her mindless. She can harm and do battle, but has no thoughts or knowledge of her own. She is an empty vessel for them to do with as they please. I don’t like that. Tt just turned me off, and I do not care to ever finish this book, let alone read any sequels. This book krumped all over the place with its creativity and how quirky it is. Loved the humor, the characters (Nemo’s my favorite), and artwork too. Pandora is fun. I think watching her humanity… uh devilishness grow will be interesting. Devils Candy plays with common manga tropes but repackages it in a fresh way. The juxtaposition of the cutesy art style with the eldritch horrors everywhere is great. There are info dumps packaged at the end of each chapter, and, at times, the panels get so overloaded with (beautiful) artwork it's hard to decipher what's going on. There are also some occult references, which I don't care for, but it adds to the worldbuilding. I would definitely read more of this series. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"At Hemlock Heart Academy, science wiz Kazu Decker shows off his skills by creating a humanoid girl named Pandora. But in a world of monsters and mayhem, surviving high school is harder than getting good grades, and lessons often turn violent. Fortunately for them, Pandora's stoic nature and seemingly limitless strength, paired with Kazu's luck, knowledge and friends, get them out of trouble almost as often as they get mixed up in it! Science projects at Hemlock require more than a fizzy volcano to impress the class, so naturally Kazu introduces them to Pandora, whose violent streak and impressive strength cause more destruction in his already chaotic school life. Braving runaway science experiments, howling apparitions and a deadly fashion show, Pandora learns that life at a devil high school is a day-to-day struggle for survival."--Back cover.

The world building is super interesting, especially when you add in the amazing illustrations. I think the premise is really cool - Pandora was built to be a companion but now they're getting into some real shenanigans. I would have liked a little more character information or development. We got thrown into the action and I wasn't entirely sure who was who and why they were there.
Overall, this is a fun manga read! I'm really glad I got to pick up a copy.
Three out of five stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and VIZ for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review. ( )
