Review:

I found out about this after I saw a meme about Thanos and Scarlet Witch's bed scene in a live-action adaptation. I haven't really watched the actual movie but all I can say is that this manga didn't really end well. I think the villain's idea of revenge sucks, he even took his own life for a stupid grudge that started on elementary. Honestly, I enjoyed the thrill of 3/4 of the manga, then it went downhill on the final arc.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐
