While it seems like the bit would run stale quickly, the art style really compliments the hilarity of the situation. Additionally, I enjoy reading various ways that they try to skirt the boundaries of what's allowed, but also if the consequences of such a seemingly hilarious but ultimately tragic supe
rnatural phenomenon.
The characterization of the father makes it a big hard to like him, but he redeems himself in his funny reactions. In a way, it is a nightmare scenario. They will never truly be able to enjoy a normal livelihood ever again thanks to the ...

A shoulder above the rest in terms of quality, humor, and character as the seemingly mundane day-to-day is made intriguing, entirely facilitated by the character writing. The star is the titled "Gorilla", who comes to terms with his relationship with his brother as a grounding force in his life. This is co-opted by his arc of maturing, and the relationship he develops with his niece. The two have a dynamic similar to bickering siblings, but eventually (even if she doesn't want to admit ...

with the plot coming into play around volume 4 most people get the wrong idea since there is basically no world building and only the slice of life aspects, but if you can get past that it becomes one of the most executed fantasy novels I have read.
The main story starts off as Allen gets a job from his professor to tutor a certain dukes daughter who can’t use magic and tutor her personal maid ...

Emotional story telling seems to be a strong suit of Ichikawa’s, the amount of information gleaned from the change in the character’s facial expressions is incredible, some of the best expression work I’ve seen recently.
Art style is fun to look at, character expressions are top notch, and the girls are cute. My goodness are they cute. I can only hope the author will continue to draw women blushing. Nearly every expression in this is worthy of screenshotting and passing ...

I found it very enjoyable, our protagonist is sweet but also headstrong sometimes, but she's really focused in improving.
Our male lead is the serious-sweet kind of guy, he won't express everything with words all the time, but he'll show it throught his choices and actions.
Supporting cast is really fun and have their own stories going on. Their situations felt really real and even the characters themselves feel really realistic. Our protagonist overthinks a lot, but ends up noticing she's getting ahead of herself afterwards.
Their relationship is pretty healthy ...

1. There are some great ideas inside this story. Using "looks are not important" as a meta narrative for the entire story was really brilliant.
2. The art is great and hard-carried this series. The villains of this series are basically drawn like elves and they were beautiful/hot.
3. I was crying during the emotional climax of this series. Across its runtime, it does accurately hit some high points with its twists or drama.
But the execution of the series really dragged it down.
1. lots of padding due to long inner monologues, repetitive dialogues/scenes, recaps of the lore, ...

The "spin" is to add a suggestive loli harem, with a hint of incest.
The reason this falls flat, is due to not committing. Suggestive tag with very little fanservice? Loli harem without any waver in the MCs conviction? Incest-adjacent with 0 in world consequenses? The end result is a bland battle manga, with underage girls gushing for the MC, who never makes a move on anyone.
I was struggling to read through these chapters. Not entertained at all. Go read Domestic Girlfriend or Kaguhara instead for some actual fun.

It's arguably too short to really build a lasting investment in the characters, but this also means the mangaka don't have time for most of the regular tropes, liked the locked equipment room, the lost child, the aquarium date, under the teachers desk and so forth.
Nothing in this manga is surprising or unexpected.
Nothing is tackled in an unexpected way.
The characters are cute, well drawn and believeable, but doesn't get much time to shine.
This is romcom slob, but sometimes, that is exactly what you need.
Dec 14, 2024
It avoids pushing boundaries like better mangas do (see: Domestic Girlfriend) and instead end up kinda disappointing. Audacious at first, but non-committed to its own degeneracy.
I did like the start though, so I would recommend people reading around 20-30 chapters? That level of spice is the only level you are gonna get. Go with Kaguhara if you want ...
Dec 14, 2024
The art and backgrounds are decent.
The character archetypes and personalities are strong.
It does a great job with incorporating fetishes, both from popular tags, but also some more obscure tags, in a way that everyone can enjoy them.
Then why did I rate it as a 4/10? The story is so unbelieveably bad. Not in an audacious way like "Please Put Them On, Takamine-san." It is a constant immersion break. The story is unfinished, repetitive at some parts and revolves around pressing gemstones out ya dick. The imagined pain of that is so unpleasant, that the ...

It is a 4 tankobon romcom, centered around an unremarkable young male teacher, who gets confessed to by two of his students. The teacher needs to come to terms with the stigma (apparently pretty easy) and then decide which of the girls he wants to spend his life with.
Both girls are sweet and likeable, but the teacher is pretty oof.
The art is inferior to Blue Box but still fine. The plot is passable and the ecchi is neither stupid nor too degenerate.
I wasn't terribly gripped by this manga and despite it being short and ...

It is however, very short. I feel like the manga doesn't cover the 15 light novels at all, because I am a little confused. The story presented here is cute, complete, a little weird and lowkey terrifying. But I feel like I am missing out on something pretty great due to the lenght. I didn't like the chapter "explaining" the puberty syndrome with quantum theory and I am missing the emotional impact that could have been landed with more chapters and volumes.
The concept of a girl slowly being erased is wild, cool and terrifying. ...

It is weldrawn and almost episodic in nature. So embracing the slow plot progression.
I enjoyed reading this as the chemistry between Nishikata and Takagi is enjoyable and well established.
I cannot imagine reading this again, as it is just good vibes and nothing is challenging the reader. No drama, no "after the confession", no showdowns with friends or family and no real plot. But sometimes, wholesome slice of life is all that you need.
I recommend this, and I respect the manga for what it does. But I cannot imagine buying 20 tankobons of just you ...

It was engaging to read, well drawn and acceptable characters. 92 chapters felt like a good lenght. We do see "post-confession" relationship, which is positive.
I will never reread it and ...

If this had been made into an actual manga, either a slow burner like Oyasumi Punpun or a blazing dumpster fire like Henshin/Emergence/Metamorphosis/177013, then I would easily have given it an 8/10 or even higher.
The story itself dives into the struggles of not knowing how to help a struggling classmate that is clearling getting roughed up at home. The hopelessness of not understanding how the world of grown ups functions and the confusion as ...

The characters are a little too flawless for my taste and their drawbacks stems from circumstances outside their own control. That being said, I like the main character, the losing heroine, the winning heroine, the senpais, the rivals and the wingman.
Blue Box shows actual relationship, which is a plus!
I felt a little bored around the 120-170 chapters, so I hope the mangaka still has some good ammo in the chamber, to finish this of without overstaying his welcome.
This might be romcom slob, but sometimes, that is all that you need <3

The manga revolves around people living in a district of Tokyo and we follow these characters as they interact with challenges and life in general. All the characters are likeable, defined and slightly flawed, while having personal ideologies that is praiseworthy.
The flow and pacing of the manga is super chill and lovely and although the manga doesn't really have a plot, it does tackle a lot of themes, that I believe the japanese society sometimes struggle with: workculture, romance, feelings of belonging, striving to ...

The 3 girls are lovely, but the other sidecharacters aren't impressively written.
The main character struggles with self-loathing, but it is kinda unrelatable, because it's not based on him being fugly and having hurt others in any remarkable way, but instead having a resting bitch face and having given bad advice to a stranger once. He has the tropey traits of being a "chore god" as well as a wholesome and nice person. Real self-loathing is damaging to a degree, where you cannot be kind and wholesome, while doing chores ...

The premise is: Boy and girl in highschool gets visions when the other masturbates. Why? Because of local witches, that is why!
It starts like a predictable, tsundere romcom, with very little supernatural elements, but it get more in the later half, which introduces the twists of the story. It is short, evolves in a good way and despite a weirder second part, I liked it.
It might have been cut short by the publisher, as the first part was paced more gently, but it does finish in a satisfying manner.
Disclaimer: Chapter ...

Musubu does a lot of cool things: It is tagged as an ero-manga, but 79 chapters in, we haven't seen any actual sex. It is neither harem or lolicon, but instead a wholesome story about consenting adults catching feelings and developing their relationship. The relationship progression is nicely paced. Sagami and Musubu is acceptable as character and nicely drawn. The backgrounds, sidecharacter and drama is not really well developed.
If the spice is fire and it doesn't drag on, then I can see Musubu endning on a 6-7/10. But 5 or even ...
Dec 14, 2024
The start of the manga is very solid and engaging. Midway through the manga, the cohesiveness of the story begins to lower. And sadly, this manga had a very unfullfilling ending. The mangaka; Urasawa is the GOAT when it comes to setting up something unique and wild. But he is also notorious when it comes to failing to make his idea end in a satisfying way.
I would suggest reading Pluto or Monster over Billy Bat, as they has less vision, but better execution.
If you have already read 20th Century Boys and enjoyed the plotholes and weaker ...
Dec 14, 2024
The art is insanely gorgous as always. The plot is greatly told and foreshadowed, but neither deep nor as twisted as the style (and author) would let you expect. Characters have too little time to shine, so its hard to actually get close to the cast. I would suggest reading Girl on the Shore before this, if Punpun is too daunting. Solanin is also a superior work imho from Asano. If you decide to go with Nijigahara Holograph, then I suggest you read it slowly and pay well attention to locations, interactions, ...

It appears like she is trying to keep the spice and drama from Domestic Girlfriend, but avoid the problematic tags like incest. Everyone is of age and no one has family relations.
Harem is always hard to make good, but from the first 30 chapters all the character has depth, developement and issues. The girls are lovely and the male lead, although a little bland so far, seem competent enough.
I cannot wait for this to get finished in X years, so I can binge it and give it a ...

Yakedo Shoujo is way more agressively unhinged. I have seen people call it edgy and psychopatic online. I do not agree with that. Yakedo Shoujo displays flawed and realistic characters with very severe trauma. From the first chapter you know, that this will end badly.
Why only 7/10 then? Because the depth is lacking, due ...

Pros:
The art is gorgous! Absolutely beautiful. And the cast of characters even show some variety in bodytypes, which is extremely rare in manga and mahnwa.
The leading couple, and most of the sidecharacters are lovely people, with good intentions, aside from a few scumbags acting like the villains of this erotic ...

This is a very wholesome and enjoyable manga, about a chuuni boi and a positive foodie girl.
It starts a little slow, but after some repeated chapters establishing the library and the candy eating the manga takes a way better pace.
It does have many of the expected tropes (lost child, model agency and so forth) but not all of them.
It is also waaaay better paced than fx Komi and other slow burners.
The art is great and the sidecharacters aren't bad at all. Male protaganist isn't as useless/dense as we are used to, but not a chad either.
I believe ...

Domestic Girlfriend follows the troubled relationships surrounding Natsuo (17 yo); a kindhearted and well intentioned highschool boy. Natsuo's mom died years ago, and lately, his father has establish a romantic relationship to a widow over the internet. The first chapter depicts the father inviting the widow to his house, to become Natsuos new stepmother. With her, she brings her two daughter, Rui (17 yo) and Hina (23 yo). Here the trouble starts, as Natsuo already knows both girls. He recently lost his virginity to Rui in a one night stand after a mixer and is his teacher at high school, whom he has ...

Where other works merely brush against unease, this one has torn me from every comforting illusion. I stood powerless as I contemplated the total insignificance of our existence before ancient, unfathomable, immutable truths. Every page whispered that everything humanity cherishes—its ambitions, its knowledge, its fleeting glories—is but dust scattered at the faintest breath of the cosmos. What, then, ...

I loved this manhwa so much, even with all of its problems. I just can't get enough of how cute Yeonwoo and Tae-hoon are. Like I can forgive all the faults for these two. Not to mention how mature Yeonwoo is, like I literally think this man has me beat in emotional maturity. Which is so uncommon in story's like these, which involve a lot of drama.
Because yes there is a lot of drama, and yes is is annoying. Such as a love triangle that makes no sense, and a second ...

Pretty good generic action manwha. Reminiscent of Solo Leveling with game system, storyline and minion-type ability. Cloning ability is used creatively, beyond just battle usage, and the cloning power itself is thought out and "balanced." Art style stays solid throughout the series and story builds well, somewhat complex in recent chapters. Side characters have good nuance (besides LI), and most antagonists are well thought out and have histories. Some character reactions are kinda cheesy, like the LI's reactions to MC, or the MC's braindead-ness in certain situations. The MC's ability to be serious ...

I could describe the characters and the history but it's irrelevant, as I sincerely think that just knowing it's a shoujo manga it's enough to describe it (for the good and the bad). This also goes for the art, specially character designs.
I dropped this, in particular, because the mangaka does that thing of introducing a new character out of nowhere that it's gonna be highly relevant to the plot (didn't read further so can't say 100% but it has all the ...

It usually goes like this: at some points at the beginning of the novel the main character self evaluates themself and their claim (that can usually be summed up to an adjective like "smart") is further reinforced by the author, be it in describing a particular action they are taking at the moment, or the narrator's voice actually approving of that claim.
Maybe putting in simpler terms, some characterization is made about the main character ...
