In some ways, if you look at the story with that mindset, it could make the experience more tolerable or bizarrely fascinating. The best way to describe it is how someone described it to me: Gyo is like a B-movie in manga form: the weird and questionable science, the odd monsters that the characters are facing, how damn serious the manga takes itself despite everything going on in it, and more.

It’s hard to really know where to start this series, but let’s give it a shot. Gyo is one of strangest and most bizarre things I’ve ever read between what actually goes on in the story and the fact that it seems to take itself seriously. However, before my description becomes a parody of The Addams Family theme song, the most important thing about Gyo that you should know is that it’s not particularly scary or even that great. So as you may have noticed: Gyo is weird. What’s causing this smell? Fish with mechanical legs that have crawled right out of the ocean, of course! While the premise may seem weird and ridiculous, this is just the start of something really filthy/nasty on the horizon that’ll change their lives. However, a horrid stench besets Okinawa and Kaori’s extra sensitive nose starts making her really agitated. It seems like a nice trip, with the guy, Tadashi, getting in some scuba diving and girl, Kaori, seemingly enjoying herself as well.
