Although I’m not Filipino, having Filipino friends has given me an interest in the culture, and being super into vampires was my initial pathway thanks to the mannangal. The story being set and covering the culture’s monster lore and food culture is really fascinating to experience, and having Jack as the introduction to such felt very genuine and sweet. The art style is very cute, and I like the mystery element of having to ‘figure out’ who you’re spending time with. This being contrasted with the nature of Em Cee does throw me off a little, but I think this is primarily a personal thing, as Emcee’s reactions make sense within the context of their presented personality and job.
Also, idk if it's intentional but Mamon’s jumpscare looked like Sans???
I do think in some instances the nature of the characters you’re about to meet could be a little more subtle, as for both Jack and Manon I had them clocked before even actually meeting them. I’m not sure how more mystery could be incorporated as there is something appealing about integrating their nature into their designs, but it kind of generated a sense of disingenuity due to the protagonist’s personality toward monsters and their job.
But overall a very enjoyable experience, thank you!
