Read the full take

One thousand Japanese high school students are suddenly thrust into an unfamiliar world rife with dangerous monsters. That is a large, urgent premise, and the series builds its survival story around how a crowd of unprepared teens must learn to live in a hostile land. The stakes are immediate and the setting is wide.The strength is the scale. The mass of students and the monster world give the story a sense of scope, and the action is energetic and fast.The weaknesses are clear. The harem-heavy setup dominates much of the story, and fan-service distracts from the survival stakes. Readers wanting a serious survival drama will find it uneven.Recommended for fans of large-scale survival fantasy who don't mind a harem-heavy approach. Expect a busy, uneven ride.
