Fullmetal Alchemist review
Fullmetal Alchemist is a series that sure isn't lacking in anything. The characters are well-rounded and interesting, the world is fascinating, and the action and humor in the plotline will keep you begging for more. The family bond between Edward, Alphonse, and their mother that caused the two brothers to go to such great lengths for each other and her is heartwarming. There is plenty of darkness in this manga, from cold enemies who care nothing for human lives to the questions the series brings up about humanity--but in the end, even if killers are still on the loose and the heroes are still bleeding,
I always end up with a smile on my face. The way problems are solved is always clever and you can bet on a few good laughs along the way, be it laughing with the heroes or at the enemy (or both!). The world seems real to me and it is easy to lose myself in it. The art is fantastic and what really stuck out in my opinion are the characters' expressions. I find myself feeling along with them a lot of the time. So, while like everything, this series may not be for everyone, it is certainly an amazing series that is worth your time.

Beck review
Beck is a unique gem of a niche market. In the vastness of manga, that is translated into English, I can't think of another one that A) is about a band and B) hits the specific tone and atmosphere of underground music. It genuinely feels like a niche within a niche, even though it's following the usual shonen character arc.
The festivals and creation of music with all the band members are where this piece really shines. In between these big moments, and character goals, are an assortment of side characters, love interests, and gang upheavals. Some of it works, some of it feels like a plot device, and other times it feels like the author forgot a certain side character arc and decided to write their next leg in eventually. The anime covers about the first 10 or 11 volumes and those are indeed the best the series has to offer. There is a similar festival near the end where the quality comes very close to that first third high before having a very solid ending. The middle part is definitely hard to get through because the band is constantly thrown into situations where one member breaks off, does their own thing, they have to all come together again, which is repeated about three times. From a storytelling perspective, it's definitely a solid way to show your characters pushing through some struggle, but it's honestly irritating how planned it all felt. Another aspect that I felt was fairly weak, especially in the second half, was the romance. Of all the characters Saku and Hiromi have the best relationship. Koyuki and Maho are a great couple, and one of the few couples in manga where I can genuinely feel their chemistry through the pages, especially in a shonen story, but for the love of god their relationship isn't written well. The second half is all about keeping them separated and falling for the same "won't he/won't she" misunderstandings where none of them talk to each other to make up. It does lead to some romantic reunions, but at the end of the day it seriously felt like their relationship was all a plot device. Which sucks, because I think they're great characters that are great together, I just couldn't handle the rinse, wash, repeat of their roller coaster love. The music and the festival are fire though. The author really knows how to set up tension and create a ticking clock that makes each performance feels like it has the weight of the world on the band's shoulders. I loved meeting new bands and each musician had a unique way of performing that made them all memorable. Overall, the manga felt down to earth, music was great, romance not so much, there is a ton I didn't even cover but it is certainly an experience I would recommend.

Grashros review
******The following review may feature a few spoilers******
Ok so I drifted to this manga because I saw a picture of a guy banging a chick not ashamed. But what I didn't expect was that they'd actually give me such an amazing story right off the bat. The characters clicked, I was starting to grow attached, the story was progressing at an amazing rate and the art was absolutely gorgeous... That is before the huge fuck up ok so Jesus man, kid literally shouts moves like kamehameha and such from different anime/manga while ripping apart his enemies. How stupid is that. From that point onwards, it was only a downwards slope for the manga. The story deteriorates, way too many characters enter the story (and die off mostly) along with the new characters themselves being extremely unmemorable. I mean the story had so much potential, but what does it give us. A serious story turned into something even I don't know. One minute it's about vengeance and hatred and killing... and the next thing you know you have a guy NTRing someone while the NTR victim makes what is possibly the world's first onahole. Hell I don't even know what's going on anymore. However, I'll give props to the artist for keeping the art pretty good

ZANNEN NAGARA CHIGAIMASU review
Someone told me to read the worst shoujo manga on earth, and so I did. To my surprise, I didn't hate it, but I didn't like it, either. It's much too short for me to completely loathe it, and it's also too brief for me to say anything good about it.
The story is mainly a love at first sight and pretty unrealistic and strange. I would say more but it would be too easy to spoil it. Someone mentioned to me that the characters' faces looked like balloons with the air let out of them and eyeballs attached. I really do not think they are that bad; their eyes are smooth and a little bit too big, is all I'd say. Otherwise it's pretty normal for shoujo. There isn't very much to say about the characters from the 20 or so pages this manga lasted. They both seem to be impulsive airheads, I guess. Well, it's not like I gouged my eyes out reading this. (I actually have another shoujo manga that I completely hate with all my being.) It's simply a oneshot that has a very questionable plot, and the super unrealistic situation it encompasses makes it difficult to like. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, especially someone who hasn't read shoujo before, because I wouldn't want someone to get a bad first impression. Please go read something else.

Agravity Boys review
Imagine arriving on a new planet as humanity's last hope, with only four boys left and no female in sight, the future looks grim. However, suddenly a higher being presents them a potion that can convert one of them into a girl. Through careful judgment and observation, they start... arguing who'd be the better girl?!
Agravity Boys focuses on our four astronauts boys as they embark on comedic, wacky, and joy-filled adventures around the galaxy. Finding themselves in humorous situations that'll surprise you while giving plenty of laughs. Story (8) The story is typically condensed down into an episodic format about funny perils the boys have gotten into. At the same time, it still provides an objective and a sense of direction within their explorations. Alongside, making great callbacks in previous chapters. Thus, emphasizing the importance of each chapter and their credibility. Art (9) Adding onto the already funny premise, the art elevates each character's reaction given their situation which provides a clear sense of how these characters are feeling while making it even more amusing. Their planet, Alpha Jumbro, also is depicted well with full panel scenery of their surroundings. Additionally, this aids in world-building, making the planet feel more alive. Character (8) Geralt, Baba, Saga, and Chris characters play off one another to build a dynamic that feels genuine, and at times almost feels like you're apart of their adventures. Also, their whimsical thought process makes each of them evermore unique. Enjoyment (10) The comedic story within each chapter with the scattered jokes has always made me laugh. I occasionally remember scenes from the manga and it makes me smile at how goofy but enjoyable they are. Furthermore, my enjoyment also stems from discussing each chapter with my friends and finding similarities between us and the Agravity boys crew. Overall (9) Agravity Boys is a charming series that I love to see continue in the future. I'd highly recommend this if you're into comedy or just a fun adventure about some loveable idiots. I consistently find myself throughout the 27 chapters published so far that I'm enjoying the entertaining story that the Nakamura, Atsushi has provided to the extent where I'd say it's outstanding!

Ore wa Mada Honki Dashitenai dake review
Mod Note: This review was initially posted for the one-shot, Ikiru, and was subsequently merged into Ore wa Mada Honki Dashitenai dake.
"My short story will slither into the crevices of your heart." Unorthodox one-shots never fail to amaze me. Such was the case of Ikiru, a (very short) manga spanning 23 pages. Most people think that you can never achieve anything spectacular or worth remembering when works are brief. The same kind of crowd also probably have never seen Fumiko no Kokuhaku and She and Her Cat. They have never read White Clouds or Moyashi Fuufu. Although not as well-known as some of those titles said above, Ikiru actually makes an impact like them, albeit on a completely different scale. We have two main characters, one at the height of 'middle age'; and the other, just slightly graduated from twenty. They meet in a totally unceremonious manner. The girl is suicidal. Okay, enough of the "naked" content. You can't give away much if you're talking about a one shot. Twenty-three pages? It contained the frustrations of youth, a dose of half-life crisis, desperation, weird out-of-the-blue dialogues, radical questions, a taste of violence, a peek on a troubled person's everyday life, and some flashbacks that slid through even though it's not that proper for a one shot to have recollections (mostly it wastes good pages). Seriously, how many short works can pull that off and leave a lasting impression? I can't wholeheartedly say that the art is eye-candy. On the contrary, the male protagonist kind of looks like a hobo, and his smile is not at all pleasing to see. However, the girl's dark, deep eyes are just.. haunting. The manga is not full of watery-eyed lovesick adolescents, if you're looking for them. It has its flaws, yes. That's to be expected from one-shots, none of them are perfect. Actually, I would've just let this pass if not for the last lines of the manga. The trigger that pushed me to write this review. I want everyone to read the ending conversation, which happens to be one of the most ponder-worthy exchange of words I have read in a long while. Go on, make sense of it.

Chichi ga Loli na Mono de review
This is fantastic.
The art is cute, the story is funny and the characters are funny as well. However, what makes this series stand out is its use of scientific explanations for how an old geezer turns into a young girl, how invisibility works as well as how erections occur. It is partially blocked out so you have to guess parts of it but nevertheless it is amazing. For example, it mentions how there are telomeres in DNA and chromosomes, REM (rapid eye movement), refraction of light and more. As someone interested in biochemistry, it is really exciting. But again, who doesn't enjoy knowing how things work and learning from manga ( I learned that the galaxy was 100k light years long from AKB49 ). Lastly, I would like to mention how much I enjoy transformation stories and the havoc that ensues. If you enjoy science, transformations and humor, give this a try. Yay scientific manga :P

AOI DESTRUCTION review
"Opposite" That's all I can say .. This anime is very funny, although Chapternya little but very suitable for reading ...
A story of this anime from start Crossdressing men to women or women to men, from children to the father, while the father becomes the child. Maybe that's my opinion for this manga ^ ^

Oldman review
I read an English fan-translation, and I'm pretty sure more than a few things were lost in the process of translation. The story's resolution confused me, so I went back and read it over. That actually made it worse, as I discovered more flaws in the story. Anyway, my evaluation as follows...
--Plot/Pacing: B I'd really like to give this a higher rating, but I just can't ignore all the plot-holes, character inconsistencies, contrived circumstances, and loose ends. Any subject matter that deals with the manipulation of Time is always tricky due to the inherent paradoxes, but the resolution of this story is nothing short of inscrutable. An example of a character inconsistency: the queen repeatedly asserts her disbelief in magic, despite having asked Eide to work his time-magic on her, and being an actual living testament to its effects. An example of a contrived circumstance: a female character (Neleh) needed to find the protagonist, Oldman. Later they just happen run into each other when some guards are chasing her...but why were the guards chasing her? I don't believe this part was ever explained. It's just random and too convenient. An example of a loose end: Oldman gets his magic from a cosmic butterfly...just who or what is this butterfly? On the flip-side, there is enough humour and action present to keep the plot from being a complete disaster, and I think one of the best parts is the chase scene in volume 3 that culminated in a climactic death-match between Rebecca and Hammer. --Design/Drawing: A+ The art is incredible (especially the chapter covers) and is of the realistic type, similar to what you'd find in western-style comics rather than Asian ones (although it's actually pretty similar to Takehiko Inoue's Vagabond.) Beside the high standard of drawing, the action is also well presented. --Characterisation: A Despite the relatively short length (only 4 volumes), the characterisation is pretty strong. The old but resourceful Oldman, the crippled but fiery Rebecca, the inventive but lecherous Vincent, and the ditzy but loveable Neleh compose the principal cast, and they make for a fun and interesting bunch. Although Oldman is the primary protagonist, the others too have their moments and are crucial to the plot in their own way. Even the secondary antagonist, Hammer, was quite compelling as a powerful adversary. --Bonus/Bias: +10% Personally I like the characters and would have loved to see a continuation or expansion of this story, or perhaps new stories involving them.
