Riiiiight... I may be bad at speaking English, and usage of words to sentences and paragraphs, but that won't stop Asma from doing what Asma really wants to d- AH CRUD! I forgot the description! Wait a minute...
Description:
Alice is a senior high school student who lives with an uncle that spends his time tormenting her everyday. One day, Alice witnesses the death of her uncle by the hands of an assassin called "Kumo" (Japanese for Arachnid). She then falls unconscious, and upon waking up, she finds out that she's in Kumo's house... Now, this Alice who no longer has any family is being raised by the assassin himself..!

So let's get to the point while I'm still not sleepy or something! Arachnid is somewhat a 'dark', and yes that mature genre over there makes it really mature thanks to the contents in which I'll leave to your imagination or till you read it, and is like a mini bug, slash insect, dictionary! Yeah, it might not cover every bug in the world but most of it like the arachnid, the scorpion, the hornet, the grasshopper errr... I'll get killed by tha- OH the cricket rather!, the... uhh.. 'Boss' in which Asma doesn't know what insect it is based and there are other people in the school as well that still are shadowing a lot!
Asma might sound stupid about this, yes it seems Asma'll be referring to herself a lot now to prevent Asma's gender from being known, so let's begin with what Asma thin- EHHHHHHH! I forgot about the cockroach! Gah! Stupid! Well, I'm too lazy to edit... Haha! -cough cough- ...Anyway! It's about Alice, a student in high school at senior year, who lives with an uncle who was killed by an assassin naming himself as Kumo in which then helps Alice develop her killer, slash assasin, skills within herself. I don't know if it's just me or something but it seems that the two are related in a way: there's no way Alice would have been able to master her 'skill' as an arachnid if it wasn't on her genes or something!.. Though Asma may be wrong then again since she could have the potential already within her when she was still young!
The manga is still continuing, on-going, as we speak. I kinda like it when I was spamming the 'random' or 'surprised' in manga sites in which, of course, led to me reading Arachnid. I don't know about the Author but how he thought of the story is SPLENDID! Well, of course every Author in the world is good and what-not even if they are deemed not by others! SO AUTHORS, BE PROUD OF YOUR WORK! EVEN IF OTHERS FORSAKE YOU, DON'T MIND THEM! THEY'RE NOT YOU AND THEY'RE JUST JEALOUS! HAHA!.. -cough cough- Anyway, where was Asma again? -scrolls up for a bit- Oh, riiiight. I was talkiing about the Author but now that's done, eh?! No idea about the Artist, Asma is telling you now that she didn't research about the people behind the manga yet since she decided to make first a brief description with awkwardness and some time later a detailed review of the manga! So please bear with Asma for now while she's fooling around trying to be awake!
With the people behind the manga done... Let's go to the... uhh... Artwork?! Some of the work is colored, some are not!.. Okay, Asma is sorry so let's go to the real point: at first it might be a 'slice of life' manga where it shows some of our dear students, including Asma mind you, being abused and harassed in school. So... what if you wanted it to change along with your life?.. But when it finally dawns and reaches out a hand at you stained with the blood of the last person you love: will you take hold of it? My dear friends, in this society, it is now merely a survival of sorts similar to the insects in which we are not fond of do every now and then. The savior who took away your loved ones suddenly adopted and helped you realized something within you... Something... sinister and daaaaark! In this case, the killer instincts of Alice and her 'special ability' in which I won't be spoiling till you read it though here's a hint: mental disorder.
The fighting scenes are COOL! and, and, AWESOME! Yeah, they were, really! Using special kind of weapons via their specified insects along with an explanation made Asma... speechless and merely had her store of knowledge about insects increase further! So Asma cover out the Action, the Shounen, the Matur- OH, Asma forgot to mention Ecchi... Ehehe... Well, it's almost shows persons being naked or either in their underwear as shown to... some parts of the manga's chapters and volumes.
And that's all folks!.. Yeah... Asma knows: she's been stupid and awkward while making this brief review but Asma promised to make a detailed one!.. Well, maybe give Asma a week or two... Or maybe less?!
Story:
Four is to Five.
Artwork:
Four is to Five.
Theme:
Four is to Five.
Total:
Four is to Five.
Asma's Reasoning:
Asma would loooooooove to give a Five to everything but nothing is perfect after all: there are some flaws, well not really flaws but there were things that weren't necessary in which Asma forgot to say, so... Asma's giving the manga, Arachnid, a score of 'Four is to Five!' The Story is nice, the Artwork is nice, the Theme for both the latter fits!
- Asma out!.. And the persons featured in the covers are Alice and Cockroach, the one with antennas!, in the pictures! Asma is feeling a bit dozy now so... NIGHT NIGHT, PEOPLE! -goes to sleep!-
