In comparison to other animes I had watched at the time, I felt that Sankrea was left too open ended for acceptance. In response to my unsatisfied conscience, I started to read the manga. I expected the main plot to have many events scattered all over the manga in a jumbled order to give humor. In contrast, the manga was extraordinarily intriguing for the plot was well planned out as well as hit my emotions in both positive and negative standpoints. I reread the manga in random chapters, as well as retelling the story to intrigue other friends and family of mine. A master piece ... of a manga, for the story was enough for me to love the characters and art.

Sankarea is a mysterious zombie romance that sounds kind of diffrent and funny, i first watched the anime back there in 2012, and i remember that i really loved it, so why not read the manga and know the end of the story?

My frist reaction was that it was going to be a light love story just like the anime... but the anime just covered 2 volumes of the manga, so thats almost nothing of the story, later on the volume 4 it got a bit more darkness than the expected, and in fact that the anime had a focus on the romance of the ... protagonists and not on the horror love story i got a little bit surprised with the progress of it, but after the volume 7 the story got into a diffrent way and a little bit confusing, unnecessary situations that affected the hole story and in the end it was corny, the character development was somewhat interesting but after all... cliche, and also poorly explained

The background horror zombie story was interesting and good, but since the volume 1 the fanservice and ecchi scenes was killing slowly the magic of it, and even the own autor said on the specials that what was keeping the manga alive was the ecchi/fanservice, that in case was 13 years old girls naked, but the back story was good at all... but i have to confess that i got disappointed but not surprised.

I mean, what the heck is happening to this world... It looks like they are doing it on purpose. PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW TO THE VERY END BEFORE ANYTHING.

I watched the anime like... 4 years ago and I just loved everything, the desing, the characters, the music, but it just covered 2 volumes of the mangas and there was no signs of a 2nd season so, a few days ago I found out that the manga was finished so I read it and wow...

Sankarea was a great manga, I fell in love with all the characters inmediatly, Babu, Rea, Darin, Chihiro, Professor Boil, it's imposible ... not love them.

The story, the farewells, the interesting trama, it's was captivating, a misterious background, the romance, the horror, it is a great combination.

But... Why, why ended like that, it's so hard for me to be captivated by a manga like this and this is what I get? A closure so dissapointing that it makes me feel like it was not worth at all. I mean, what the ---- was that? I'm suposed to feel happy? sad? angry? If I had to choose it would be the last one.

I waited 4 long years for find out how this story ended, but now... with this... I feel nothing, emptyness... (I know that the manga was finished 3 years ago but I'm just entering to the world of "read mangas")

I cannot recomend this manga after this but please, if you are going to read it, be aware that you will experience a ending so unsatisfactory that you will not have words to describe it.
