Reminder that this is my first review and english isn't my first language so I am sorry for eventual mistakes you will find in this but I also hope that this review will somehow help people in determining whether they should read this or not.

i tell c is a manga that doesn't actually have a real plot... or, most specifically, it tried to have one but it ended up being completely worthless considering the fact that it got axed and never managed to present a consistent and solid story. Having said so, I will describe this manga simply as a mere detective story with a charming protagonist and... nothing else (probably).

First of all, I would like to talk about how I personally found the concept of this manga to be surprisingly interesting. Basically, the protagonist of which I talked before is a female cop which has an "obsession" for criminals and this leads her to fall in love with every one of them whenever a new case to solve appears. A motivation of why she does so has even be mentioned but just that, it never got fully explored (this due to the series being axed).



Another very valid thing I liked about it was the art. There were even some good panels worthy of a screenshot and overall I think the paneling was ok (even though I am not a professional lol).



Now, the issues with i tell c are many:

1. It doesn't manage to end the story properly as I already mentioned multiple times before and this is a big factor of why this manga is unworthy of being read.

2. Another thing I found to be frustrating while reading this is that in some parts the writing sucked and the characters acted totally incoherent to what just happened a few chapters before at the point that my only reaction was "wow, cringe". Seriously... other than that there was even a death that was so unnecessary and out of place that I was almost going to drop the whole thing but, fortunately (I think), Risa Aioi was cute enough to let me finish this mediocre piece of work.

3. Talking about characters, there were a few interesting ones but almost none got sufficiently explored at the point to tell that it was a well written character or at least decent or something. Even Risa Aioi, the only reason why you should read this, is not exactly good and what frustrates me the most about her is that she had a damn fucking interesting backstory. I was hoping the whole time I read i tell c that they would at least end the Risa story properly, even if this meant that the story would have been rushed af but they didn't. :(

Now that you know what makes i tell c bad I think that you should also know I was able to finish it. At least, from my experience, I got a few laughs from it and even if some arcs began slow they were able to deliver a decent amount of positive reactions from me but... that's just it. Let's say that to the average reader this is surely something to drop, but there surely might be a few exceptions of people who may enjoy this.

Well, now that we arrived at the end of the review it's time for the score. I do not want to rate this very low since I personally believe it's the kind of readable trash. Considering the drawings, characters, story and development... I'd give this a 45/100 which to me equals to something that, if it wasn't for a small thing in it, it would definitely be bad, and in this case the small thing is Risa Aioi. She literally carried this.
