Plot Summary

The summary is pretty basic: a policeman who kills serial killers. A good majority of the manga focuses more on the soon-to-be victims rather than our policeman MC himself—and, for me at least, that makes you even more excited for him to enter the story and deliver his justice.

There are a total of four chapters in volume one. The first chapter works as an introduction to the premise and tone of the manga as a whole, while the last three chapters follow an interlocking storyline.

Killer Policeman

When the policeman does enter a storyline, it’s pretty evident that he’ll take action within the next few pages. While there isn’t much gore to be found, there are strong implications of what’s happening, so I wouldn’t recommend this manga to anyone who can’t handle a violent storyline.

Rather than the murders that end storylines, the majority of the violence in this manga revolves around the soon-to-be victims. There was one scene in particular that is still a bit difficult for me to read through, but that only made watching the retribution at the end all the more satisfying.

My Favourite Things About This Manga

• The revenge plot lines always go extra hard
• It doesn’t shy away from darker storylines
• The policeman is always really campy, its incredibly fun to read

My Least-Favourite Things About This Manga

• Nothing (yet)

My Ratings

The art matches the mood of the manga perfectly, imo. There’s nothing unnecessarily added in, like what’s often found in horror manga nowadays.

I’m a sucker for a good revenge story, and this manga is nothing but that. I also have always found myself drawn to police TV drama’s, so that may be why I’m extra partial to this Manga.

It’s not scary in the sense that you would likely have difficulties falling asleep after reading it, but it is scary in the sense that I can imagine some of the crimes done by the victims actually being committed in real life.

Final Thoughts

Brutal is probably my favourite straight up horror manga that I own. I really hope that the author makes a speedy recovery, and is able to create again soon.
