See here’s the thing, I would love to continue Monster Pulse. Seeing how I was able to do 1 chapter in one sitting, it seems pretty manageable to complete the series. But I have already decided to commit to having only 3 main series and don’t want to get too overloaded with what I am reacting/my schedule.
However, once I am done with one of those series, I would totally put this in the short list for “Main Series Replacement”
So this was an interesting first chapter. We get a general idea of who Bina is, not a lot of details, but enough to push the plot forward. She has no idea who this heart monster is, but it really did take her heart to sustain itself.
The secret evil pta MIB is horrible. But we got enough hints over what they do without taking away from Bina, since this is the story of her escape. I love the creativity of the forms these monsters take, and I guess the spirit things comes from the pta MIB, or at least they have some control of it.
I am glad Julie was there. She was pretty cool, if a little nuts. But they did well in making Julie and Bina act like regular children.
Heart-Mon is cute. I love her (him? them? I’ll go with her for now). She is a big doofas, but innocent and very kind. She also kicks ass so that is a plus.
This was a good chapter for intoducing our main character and the idea of body monsters. However, this series is also at least 30 chapters long. So unless I get some….incentive…..to continue with this series, it will probably be a while before I continue with it. But one I wouldn’t mind.
On a Fibonacci scale of 1 to 21, I would give this chapter a 13. Not a “die hard omg I want more” feel, but it is still a “I am intrigued and it was written very well so I would like to read more”
