Story:
With atrocious pacing and empty characters, a lot of what encompasses Metroid's story is hackneyed and wasted on 16 chapters. It's not a science-fiction, and it's not a drama, it's something in between that fails to get either thing right. I found this rather arduous to finish, counting down the chapters until the ending since it was so annoying to read at times.

Certain events that take place don't seem to add up, others seem to be over-charged to emphasize certain aspects of the story, and then there's this shining small percentage of downright ridiculousness that makes me wonder why this manga even existed.


Art:
Everything looks alright I guess, but since there are terrible pacing issues, the artwork needs to at least be able to carry the motions of the narrative without making things confusing. This simple request isn't even fulfilled, as both action sequences and basic conversation pieces are cluttered and messy.

There's a lot of repetitive panels that make pages boring and recognizable. It's not that the artist copy/pasted, rather they drew things in a similar fashion and made things seem uninspired and lazy.


Character:
I don't know anything about anyone except Samus, and everything I know about Samus is mostly stuff I had acquired from the games. There's enough in the manga to get things going, but it's not enough to carry the story as things progress.


Enjoyment:
Boring and uninteresting. I didn't really care to finish this manga, but I trudged through to get it over with. I wish I didn't.
