Synopsis

After an airplane crash during a school trip, Oribe Mutsumi and her classmates were stranded on a seemingly deserted island. Mutsumi found the other survivors, and used her wilderness knowledge to help them. She expects that they will be rescued in about three days, which doesn't seem so long to endure. However, she didn't account for the fact that the island is populated with gigantic killer insects. Her knowledge of butterflies, wasps, and more may be the only thing that will help any of her classmates survive to be rescued!

This is a review for the whole manga before and after the art style change.
I remember reading this series on and off several years ago with sporadic updates?

I originally thought it was going to be good but the potential was wasted. The only excuse for a story you get consists of deaths, not needed sexual stuff, violence without aa purpose, and so on.

Sure the idea of introducing mutant bugs is ...

Usually I don't write reviews but I felt compelled after reading this manga just because I found it to be so bad.
