Ratings and reviews

This comic is so bad I could not finish. Its pacing and plot are idiotic at best, and childishly simplistic at worst. The evidence of this murder is taped under a bench?!? What kind of middle school logic is that? I'm not going to lie, I was impressed by the Archie comics style drawings, but that's the only upside to the whole thing. AN RFID CHIP CAN'T ZAP SOMEONE OR BE EVIDENCE OF ANOTHER PERSON CONTROLLING THEM. Jesus christ it's so stupid.

About the author

Original Yu-Gi-Oh! creator Kazuki Takahashi first tried to break into the manga business in 1982, but success eluded him until Yu-Gi-Oh! debuted in the Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1996. Yu-Gi-Oh!'s themes of friendship and competition, together with Takahashi's weird and wonderful art, soon became enormously successful, spawning a real-world card game, video games, and six anime series (two Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! series, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal, and Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V).
