Future Diary is a manga series created by Sakae Esuno published in the magazine Shonen Ace between 2006 and 2010.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The story itself is stupid and horribly written.
 * 2) Most (if not all) of the characters are unlikable, the most notable example is Yukiteru Amano, the main protagonist who is incredibly immature and whiny, does a lot of stupid things, has a toxic relationship with Yuno, gets little to no character development and he does not get punished for his wrongdoings.
 * 3) Despite being a Shonen series (yes, it was published on Shonen Ace) it feels more like a Seinen series due to the amount of violent and sexual content on it, but this happens because Japan has looser standards for what is appropiate for minors.
 * 4) *Other Shonen manga series like Death Note, Attack On Titan and Chainsaw Man also have mature content but at least they managed to excecute them in a good way and avoided being unnecesarilly mean-spirited.
 * 5) While it tries to be dark and mature, it fails, even Death Note (other Shonen series) handled the dark themes better.
 * 6) Dumb moments like when Detective Nishijima tries to marry a terrorist (Minene) and asks to have kids with her when he should arrest her because she killed a lot of people in the building.
 * 7) Some unnecessary fanservice is shown despite that some of the characters are MINORS.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The character designs and artwork are very good for most of the time.
 * 2) It has some interesting concepts despite being badly excecuted, such as cellphones that allow you to predict the future.
 * 3) Gasai Yuno, Akise aru and Minene Uryu can be likable to some degree.
 * 4) Some scenes can be heartwarmming, like Minene Uruyu's backstory which explains why she hates religions.
 * 5) The ending was kinda decent.
 * 6) There is a spin off manga that solves some of the plot holes.
