BRIEF REVIEW W/spoilers: Hilarious tale that I'm glad to have embarked on. Admired the jump from cartoonish to hyper realistic art styles. Was also surprised how often this story becomes closer to sci-fi/horror, than comedy at times. That being said, as much as I loved that component of the story, I really loved it for the comedy and any time Baka Ouji gets involved. I can't help but get major Gintama vibes from it. From Baka Ouji probably being a source of inspiration for Prince Hata, and the ending looking surprisingly familiar to a certain era of Edo Japan that's been taken over by Amanto.

I'm a little confused by the ending, does this mean that Yukitaka and that girl are now together, and WAS THAT THEIR CHILD?! So many questions and I wondered if this was axed or if Togashi-san ended it on his own terms. Although I do wish it stayed predominately comedic throughout all of its tales, I do admire how it used aliens and sci-fi to create unique and hilarious situations. Best chapters were the early chapters, followed by the Rangers. I also got a huge kick out of the panels that were just a cacophony of random, deformed, life forms that were reminiscent of Berserk's eclipse, especially in the chapter were we witness the girl accidentally putting her dad into her subconscious where he's then subject to seeing a monster-ized version of him and his wife bickering. With this juxtaposition between comedy and sci-fi in mind though, unlike Gintama which knew how to properly balance both, Level E comes off more strong in its approach to both creating a stronger tonal whiplash from one to the other. In Level E, where I'd be looking forward to a predominately funny chapter, I'd get met a chapter with body horror, long paragraphs about alien life-forms, with an ending that leaves me scratching my head wanting more, not because it was particularly engaging but because it didn't feel fully fleshed out.

All in all though, when this series is funny, it's one of the funniest manga ever. When it's good, it is DAMN good and for that reason I love it. Wish it had more chapters, but I'm glad to have picked up this series as I have thoroughly loved my time with it!
