Each ability has activation conditions, leading to strategic battles.
The charm is reversal dramas where the weak can defeat the strong depending on ability usage 💀
② The Bond Between Andy and Fuuko
Fuuko who brings misfortune to those she touches, and Andy the Undead who negates all death.
Seems like the worst compatibility, but actually demonstrates the best combination.
The change in their relationship is a major highlight of the work 💕

The "God" who manages the world, "UMAs" that harm people, and ability users "Negators."
Countless foreshadowing spread throughout—new discoveries with every reread.
An irresistible work for theory enthusiasts 🌍

Especially well-paced among Jump works—surprising developments await every episode.
The sense of speed that deflects criticism of being "slow" is overwhelming.
