I haven't decided whether I like this story yet, but so far it is clear, the characters are distinct and the art is reasonably good. There are three more volumes.

Damn, I wasn't sure what to think about this manga at first. The plot is over-the-top like something an edgy sixth-grader would write but it drew me in. All the characters are completely screwed up in the head and the story made me sick to my stomach a few times. I was torn between hating these people and sympathizing with them. I just wasn't sure how to feel. The thing is though, it worked. It didn't feel manipulative or like the author couldn't decide where to go and left me feeling genuinely intrigued by the end, even if the plot is a little bit ridiculous. Totally going to read the next volume if I get the chance.0

Piola, ta interesante la cosa uwu. Nose que más decir... estoy en blanco

Another rating: 7/10 (for whole series!)

Review to come.

Dark and attention grabbing right from page 1.

It gets it's stars for it's plot. I'm not sold on the rest but like the idea and I've got the other 3 stacked up to read laster.
Art - ok
Dilog - ok
Plot - Good
flow - bad.

I keep trying to read manga, but I just don't identify. Hot drawings, but in the whole book (yes, I did finish the first volume), I got lost and didn't identify with the characters. The various unusual traits of manga take me out of the story, and there's this something that's lost in translation for me. The story feels weak, the genders seem overly heightened, the writing seems off - I just don't get it... As much as I'd love to frame some of the full-page drawings, I can't bring myself to start the next volume of the series. But I really think it's me.

Pretty decent series, really good art and characters but the story needs lots of help

[Reseña Global 4/4]

Anne Freaks es un manga muy pero que muy desaprovechado. Si hubiese sido un poco más provocativo y hubiese aprovechado más sus personajes, podría haber sido algo memorable, pero después de todo, me ha dejado la sensación de ser un manga de psicópatas sin ton ni son.

Recomiendo Anne Freaks a los que seáis muy pero que muy fanáticos de las historias de este estilo: macabras y descabelladas. De lo contrario, manteneos lejos de este manga si no queréis caer en una espiral de asesinatos sin pies ni cabeza y en una profunda decepción.

If it wasn't as short as it is, I never would have bothered finishing it.

This was just really middling. A guy named Yuri ends up joining this girl after she helps him hide his mother's body that he played a role in her death. Light gore and thriller stuff ensues as the girl named Anna, Yuri, and also Mitsuba, who is another boy saved by Anna, go around saving people and killing bad people from Anna's dad's cult. It's like one of those gory revenge manga but WAY toned down. There is a bit of a mystery and psychological element as Anna shows up in people's dreams as a past version of herself before meeting them as well as her general whole deal. Her mystery is ok. She's meant to be this enigmatic figure that you slowly learn about and it sorta works but also makes her sometimes more of a force or narrative object than an actual character. The character dynamics are so-so with the only really interesting character being Anna and even then she’s more enigmatic than a real character. Yuri is just a wet noodle and Mitsuba plays this bad-boy straight man who’s way more likable than Yuri because he commits to things and is more action-forward in what is an action manga. But again the action and thriller elements are played quite safely leading it to not be very exciting.
The art is fine. It's not amazing but it's not terrible. The scanlation does a terrible job at the colors brightening everything to the point of losing a lot of the screentones and grays. I can't tell if it's a deliberate choice on the mangaka or the magazine but a lot of the gore is obscured or hidden by the paneling. I don't think it would've added much but it does make it feel like the manga is holding back its punches on what seems to be one of its draws. It’s like this is meant to be an action revenge manga but for younger teens which just doesn’t really work here.
