Time for my UU review! #spoilers ahead

This will be long, I think. 1/

Undead Unluck is a series that doesn’t quite feel like it belongs in SJ at the start. The first page is incredibly dark, the art is so so, and the humor is as goofy as a gag manga with some uncomfortable ecchi elements that make you feel like the mangaka is trying to grab attention in some way, but there’s also a lot of promise in this first chapter. 

The glimpse of the power system (Andy’s inability to die and Fuuko’s inability to touch people without causing unluck) is intriguing and the first soft moment between the characters when Andy cuts Fuuko’s hair shows the mangaka’s ability to focus in on the characters and start building a relationship, something that would become one of the manga’s greatest strengths. This chapter also gives the manga a very clear focus: for Andy to get Fuuko to fall for him so that her unluck will be powerful enough to kill him. It’s an absolutely bizarre start to a romance, but it grabs you and makes you wonder how they’ll execute it.
