Shiori amase4/12/2023 ![]() ![]() Reading it is quite the unique experience. Overall: a strong individual manga - recommendable to anyone interested in philosophical matters, whether or not they have any prior knowledge of them - with a lot of potential, which i look forward to it fulfilling one could argue this is a conscious choice by the author, and the art had no impact on my enjoyment of this manga, and so there's no reason to penalise koko wa ima kara rinri desu based off the art. there's a strange contrast between the usually well drawn takayanagi (though he does have a weird pose that repeats through chapters) and the students, which have their individual characteristics but are otherwise not drawn with much depth. The art's also not the best, but not the worst either. at the time of writing, the manga is very much episodical - with a variety of subplots linking the chapters together - but i have no doubts that, over time, this manga will grow to have a clearer focus of what it's setting out to do. In regards to the story, well, there isn't much of one. to summarise: the characters are catalysts for the author to explore a variety of ethical and philosophical questions, and they fulfill their purpose well. similarily, the students are not overly complex characters, yet, nonetheless, their stories are not as typical as might have been expected. takayanagi is hard to dislike - i think everyone wishes they could have had a teacher like him in school - and he is not without his flaws, preventing him from coming off as a 'gary stu'. depth is common in many stories, but this is one of the few where saidĪnother strong aspect of the manga is the characters. this element of koko wa ima kara rinri desu could easily be considered what makes the manga shine. through him, the author expresses various ideas within the field of ethics, in a manner which prevents the reader from feeling as if the authors opinions are being forced on them. The main character, takayanagi, acts as a teacher towards the reader just as much as he is one with his pupils. Koko wa ima kara rinri desu is the kind of manga you read and gain iq cells from, for a change. But if you want an exciting journey into ETHICS, there's only one place. Don't even expect to agree with the author/MC's opinion on all of these topics. Don't pick it up if you're looking for a school comedy or cutesy slice of life. It's too early to see how they'll develop, but I believe the author won't let us down.ĭefinitely a unique little manga to try. The characters are quite interesting in their own way, expressing themselves through different speaking patterns and mannerisms. ![]() are distinct with their own quirks and styles. ![]() The artist does a fantastic job with detailed pages (and teach's turtleneck) and exaggerated, human expressions. Some chapters can seem heavy-handed or hamfisted but never boring. Quite enjoyable if you like somewhat philosophical work. The topics mentioned vary from very dark to very mundane but each chapter introduces us to another new idea. The story follows the MC, an Ethics teacher, as he attempts to teach his class about the topic while at the same time following his own code of ethics as best as possible. A heavy and thoughtful adventure into a seemingly mundane topic. ![]()
