Soloist in the Prison Review. A girls desire to do anything to protect her baby brother.
The series is set in a prison that continuously grows to the point it has become a city. With a population of 500,000. Our FMC takes care of her little brother in a lawless area. He is the only reason she feels contempt with her life right now. However one night with the help of her benefactor she tries to escape but her baby brother falls and ends up staying behind. 10 years later, she has been trained (somewhat) and will go back to the hell of a prison in hopes to find her little brother.
Apparently this series went on hiatus and there is a quality shift. But I wasn't really able to tell tbh. Like the manga was ending and it was wrapping up but like that type of decline is pretty common and I wouldn't like place it due to the hiatus, though full transparency I don't know when the hiatus happened exactly, so the ending part might not have anything to do with it.
The art of this series is phenomenal. I don't think anyone will disagree that the art is spectacular. Its detailed, exceptionally well drawn and really drags the reader in. Sadly though the Art really is the best part about the series. Not to say that's necessarily a bad thing but It is quite disappointing how much the quality lacks in other regards.
The characters aren't really dramatic or have the charisma to make me feel personally invested. Yeah I want to see the FMC save her little brother but I don't care about it personally. I want her to save her little brother so I can see the next part about the story not because not because I want to see the annoying little shit be rescued. There is a constant emotional distance that the author wasn't able to shorten in 18 chapters. I honestly had the same feeling when the faceless guy did cool ass shit at the end.
The action of this series is also dramatic. Like Fire punch we don't actually see majority of the fight (Except for one) we just a panel that basically deals with the entire thing and then the after effect. Considering they were just faceless mobs I do sorta get the point. But at the same time it kinda gets repetitive.
The series also has a snot problem. Its very distracting when someone is crying and there is just a gallon of snot running down there nose. I get that its meant to be more realistic but for one thing the series in itself is not realistic, 2ndly the characters themselves don't have a strong emotional connection with the reader, 3rdly its kinda gross.
Despite my complaints I did enjoy this series. I don't think its anything special. But not every series can be some profound masterpiece. Being short as it is, there is no filler. Though the quality in itself could be better. I don't think there is a lot to complain about here.
TLDR: Enjoyable enough. 6/10
