When it comes to new teen series, Fabricant 100 stands out for its radical departure from traditional stories. While most new series will try their best to connect with any potential audience, this manga takes a bold direction. It does not rely on famous manga stories or familiar plots to attract readers. Instead, it not only tells the viewer where the film will end, but also how that ending will play out.

This is a complete departure from the norm. Usually, when a famous or established manga artist creates a series, they have a large base of fans eager to see what they come up with next. Ishida Sui’s Tokyo Ghoul is a perfect example of this phenomenon – success with that series gave him a honeymoon where he could reveal his new manga.

However, lesser-known authors often have a harder time attracting an audience and maintaining interest in their work. They can resort to copying elements from more popular stories or creating engaging elements to keep readers coming back for more. But Fabricant 100 takes a different approach – from the beginning it announces that the main character’s death in issue 99 will trigger the final plot.

Some fans may compare this series to other manga like Gen Oosuka’s Dororon Enma-kun and wonder if this is just another gimmick. However, Enoshima was given the opportunity to write the stories he wanted without having to please public opinion. This gave him more creative freedom and allowed him some space from his editor’s demands.

It remains to be seen whether Shonen Jump fans will enjoy Fabricant 100 to the end, but one thing is clear: by taking a bold direction from the start, Enoshima has set itself apart from the competition. other manga artists and create opportunities for their work to achieve success. Stand out in an overcrowded market.

In contrast to Jujutsu Kaisen’s complexity being its greatest strength, Fabricant 100’s boldness and originality may be what sets it apart from other manga in the genre. Only time will tell if this gamble will pay off for Enoshima and his team.
