This review will have spoilers, if you think you’ll read it, I suggest coming back once you do so. As, I will enlighten you. If you don’t want to read it, please feel free to enjoy the review :) I tried to make it entertaining for readers that have not read it.

(This is a low effort review, I’m not doing some deep dive into the manga and I’m not providing screenshots, but it’s my general thoughts on the series. If you want to talk about it more go ahead and message me. I’m down to discuss.)

It starts in the anus and ends in the shitter, just like the manga.

Enter: God’s child. A hyperbolized take of a sociopath neglected by society.

Whether it be smearing feces everywhere because it is the only thing that entertains you, or raping the one you develop feelings for at the age of five. Justifying it by saying she was already raped; Therefore it is morally okay to do it yourself. The whole series is a deep dive into a two foot well, it is pure shock/horror bait for readers that want something of the sort. I expect the author had done exactly what they want: A freaky read; But, behind the pages it is not much more than that. It sets up all these ideas and simply does them, delivering no nuance to such ideas, as if only stating- “ah, this happened”, it is a shallow look into the what if of a sociopath neglected by society, as stated earlier. Now- they try to implement this idea throughout the whole story, that of neglect. Like, for one example, they have this girl who was bullied simply for being quiet and separate from her classmates, it is implied that she is like this from neglect, and yet again it does nothing to explore this. It is the same with the classmates, it was explained that they bullied her because they bullied anyone for being different. Now I get this is the skewed take on why they did it from our protagonist, but it deserved to be explored more so than just a undertone in the manga. I want to know WHY he thinks he thinks he would be ostracized if he stood out. I do not want this wishy washy point, as by itself it just seems like lazy shock value bait. You can assume why he thinks this way, but there is no point, really.

This manga is not complete garbage, however. The art compliments the abstract story quite well- it almost seems like a homage to Picasso among other abstract artists. The ideas in the manga are so inane, I could see one charmed by it. It’s just not for me in that aspect.

As I said earlier MOST of the ideas are lazily placed and executed but there is a saving grace to this series. One thing it does great is how it portrays his skewed perspective on life- like how he thinks his parents looked at him. He thought they looked at him as literally if he were literal shit. I guess the part about him playing with shit was his way of embracing himself. He accepted who he was even if he didn’t think anyone else would ever, or has ever.

Despite having flaws as I said earlier, his skewed view is the best part of the manga. He see’s himself as shit, all the way to the extent to where he thinks he was born through his mother’s anus. Despite being completely illogical, it is what he truly believes. All throughout the manga he makes himself believe his twisted ways of thinking until he has no literal way of explaining his wrongdoings; He was forced to confront his sins. Guilt written, he lets one of his cult members leave the cult to chase after their personal desires (He has a cult, BY THE WAY.), this was a nice moment as it shows how he regrets how he lived his life thus far. Every cult member represents him, they are all neglected sociopaths of society. He let the other member go because he saw a younger self in that boy. Later, he had succumbed to fear. The one emotion known well to the man. He sent his cult to kill the person that the other cult member who left was seeing. He was scared of the world. He was scared of losing his own world. Later the boy came back and got together with the rest of the cult and fed him to the pigs. He got the ending he deserved. No. The ending he wanted. To be alone at the end, to become literal shit. A fitting ending, throughout the whole manga, God’s child had a weird fetishized fascination, romanticizing shit. What a fitting way to end this insane series.

If you are wondering why the review ending up being abrupt it’s because THAT’S HOW THE MANGA FELT.

This manga has many issues, like why did he form the cult? Why did he start to think this way? They all have lazily defined answers. While thematically portrayed well, this manga stumbles upon itself many times, but still was a interesting read.
I have to give it it’s props.
