If fans are excited, critics are excited as well to give their review of the Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's "Platinum End." One of the critics is the Fandom Post, which gives a satisfactory review.
The online magazine started its review with an overview of "Platinum End." The plot of the manga reads: " As his classmates celebrates their middle school graduation, one student's mind seems to be elsewhere. His name is Mirai and he has a dark secret. All humans deserve to find happiness, but Mirai may need some salvation from above in the form of an angel."
Then the critic went on with the review, stating that he's a big fan of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, and was excited for "Platinum End." But the critic said that "oddly enough, though, what we actually get here is something pretty reminiscent of a certain other series."
To cut the chase, in simple words the critic says that the new manga series of Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata is pretty much similar with their "Future Diary," wich was noted to be influenced by "Death Note" as well. Thus, the first chapter of "Platinum End" doesn't fully meet the expectation of the critic.
As he said in its review, "this first outing has me feeling a bit mixed. Mainly in that a lot of the events here feel excessively edgy, especially concerning Mirai's backstory and how he gets his revenge (let's just say you may not want to be anywhere near a kitchen knife after reading it)."
Although the narrative was good because the them of "Platinum End" is focused on the "idea of human happiness." The critic rated the first chapter of this new digital manga with B+.
