I don't have any time to draw anymore so take this half assed doodle!!

I wish I could do more but alas :(

Realms based on the things that bump in the night isn’t new, but there’s always a creative twist that comes from each one. From the musical wonderment of The Nightmare Before Christmas to the kindheartedness of Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun, there’s always a secondary draw to these creepy-yet-fantastical worlds. Devil’s Candy, a web comic series that’s getting a proper release from VIZ Media, has a big brain filled with amazing imagination. However, it does has a problem with its means of storytelling.

Created by writer Bikkuri and artist Rem, Devil’s Candy follows the student Kazu at Hemlock High School. He has created life Frankenstein-styled, in the form of female named Pandora. Originally built for homework, Kazu finds that there’s a lot of value to having Pandora at school. As such, the newly-living girl starts to experience high school life in the strangest of ways.

One of the things that makes Devil’s Candy eye-catching is its visuals. Rem’s artwork takes a lot of influence from the likes of Tim Burton and Guillermo Del Toro, with enough of a manga twist to give it its own uniqueness. The world that surrounds Hemlock High are stunning to look at, as it teeters between the creepy and the pretty. Character designs are rich with detail, be it how a cyclops decorates her eye or how Pandora’s scars add another depth of personality to her.

However, where this comic can stumble is in its narrative. While stories involving science tests, secret labs, and fashion show competitions can be fun, it doesn’t help when every moment is drowned out by exposition. There were times where I spent nearly five minutes looking at a page; not because I was drawn to the visuals, but rather due to the fact that there was so much to read! It wouldn’t be a problem if these factoids were scattered throughout each chapter, but these tidbits about the world, school, and characters are literally slammed into the eyes of the reader!
