The game had no dialogue in a show don't tell sort of manner, while the manga foolishly fills the entire story with poorly thought out dialogue that ruined the haunting atmosphere the game always excelled in. I was eager to see what kind of story could be made with the material that the game provided and I ended up being incredibly disappointed. The art is quite an eyesore, the characters have no mouths, Madotsuki always has her eyes closed in a very irritating way, and the surrealistic nature of the game is not captured at all in the manga. The story of the manga seems to be completely out of place due to the genuinely dark nature of the game. The way the characters are portrayed don't match the way they react within the game at all.
While I consider Yume Nikki the game as one of my favorite video games ever, the manga is an atrocity.
