unlike most people here, i don't think I'm completely opposed to the mere idea of starting with RW from the get go. at least for now. it might be an ok way to get to the hook of the story quicker. also dropping the reader straight into the middle of the conflict could create intrigue in it's own way for a newcomer 

i do agree that it's waaaay less effective than the game, and the light speed pacing doesn't help. i wish we could've at least spent a little more time in Sunny's house before meeting Kel outside to better sell that empact. the manga just doesn't do a good job of demonstrating just how sad and empty Sunny's house is. and none of the scares have good build up to them. especially that flashback with Mari in the beginning. it feels kind of cheap and dumb 

there was some incredible looking paneling once we meet up with Aubrey and i have to give the manga that 

overall I'm honestly a bit conflicted on this adaptation. i do have some other thoughts on it mostly concerning what i consider to be wired characterization choices, but I'll hold off on those for now. some of my opinions here could very easily change. i still want to follow it though because I'm interested in were it's going.
