4.5/5 stars
The artwork in Jinx Manga Chapter 02 is as striking as ever, with vivid expressions and detailed backgrounds that bring the world to life. The storytelling is well-paced, with a good balance of humor, drama, and suspense. The author's use of symbolism and foreshadowing adds depth to the narrative, hinting at darker secrets and conflicts to come.
For those who may be new to the series, Jinx Manga follows the story of Shinobu Onodera, a high school student who possesses a jinx that causes chaos and destruction wherever she goes. Despite her best efforts to lead a normal life, Shinobu's presence seems to bring out the worst in those around her, leading to a series of unfortunate events.
One of the standout aspects of Jinx Manga Chapter 02 is the way it explores the themes of isolation and loneliness. Shinobu's jinx has made her an outcast among her peers, and she struggles to connect with others who fear and avoid her. Meanwhile, Takeru's character serves as a foil to Shinobu's, highlighting the superficiality and cruelty of some of her classmates.
