Worst of 2016: Platinum End

By Dustin Cabeal

The most impressive reason this is on the worst of list is its creators. Two veteran creators responsible for the mega hit Death Note made this manga. And it was shit. For some fucking reason, they thought people would be interested in reading a story about a character that’s scared and afraid of everything. The main character is practically a “NEET, ” and that doesn’t make for a great story. Rather, an annoying story.

The other “huh, isn’t this just a shade different from Death Note, but kinda the same?” comes from the premise. Instead of demon’s it’s angels. A new god is being chosen, and 90% of the people that will be picked are in Japan. Fuck the rest of the world. Also, our pant wetter is one of them. This was one of the worst stories I’ve ever read, and I have no idea why it’s been allowed to continue. I suspect the name of the creators is the only thing keeping it afloat because it’s certainly not the story or the uninspired artwork.
