Shingeki no Kyojin review
[minor spoilers, none if you watched anime]
I'm not gonna lie- i used to hate Shingeki no Kyojin. When the anime first came out, i didn't really see anything exceptional in the anime- just another series about zombies with boring characters, ludicrous action, but this time with incredible soundtrack and animation. But outside of visuals, there really wasn't anything to it- you've seen first episode, you've seen all 25 of them. But then, after 4 years 2nd season came out and.. i was intrigued, to say the least. One character revealed himself to be yet another humanity's enemy- the Titan. But instead of evil laugh and moustache-twirling (that you would expect from the level of story telling of the 1st season) he said something.. peculiar. That he's tired of being "soldier", that he had spent too much time with those idiots. And that he has to remember his duty of being a "warrior". What the hell does it all mean? i thought to myself. Is there something else to this manga than just giant zombies? Oh boy, how wrong was I. Season 3 came around, more things were finally explained and pieces finally began to form a picture- first season of SnK was more of a lie, a prologue. We all were lured into thinking that Titans are this infinite danger, that all that matters is "glory to mankind". But in reality the series started to develop a way deeper theme- the one fully explored only in the forth sea-- sorry, 3rd season, 2nd half. And thus SnK changed from series about zombies into one about patriotism, xenophobia, racism, freedom at any cost. Characters i used to hate developed or the story developed to the point where you could finally see what Isayama intended them to be. Take look at Eren- naive, loud, brave and bold shonen protagonist. Type of a character that would want to become king of pirates or a hokage. Incredibly dull and inadequate protagonist for a manga that tried o be a seinen. But after the "basement" it became clear that Eren's naivety and childlishness was a trick designed by Isayama. Eren developed into this cold-hearted, cynic nihilist that wills to kill all his enemies, even if it may mean commiting war crimes. But did anything really change about Eren? He's, in core, the very same character he was, since chapter 1. All that changed is the information about the world, which is amazingly depicted in the "shell" scene. An ocean, that he thought to be a symbol of freedom, is yet another birdcage that keeps him safe from his real enemies. He thought titans were mindless monsters, but his "new" enemy isn't really that different from titans, they are maybe even more monstrous. Other personality-lacking characters are also revealed to be actually brilliantly written. Reiner changes from your avarage bully into depressed paranoid, Berthold is clearly not doing anything he wants, Armin becomes more depressed... overall, this series changed from being edgy shounen into fully depressing experience. What i think Isayama does the best is writing moments, not long-term stories. Any arc that doesn't rely of politics is just a blast to read, but the problems start when he wants to develop some "more real" intrigue- Uprising Arc is probably the worst in the series, since Isayama doesn't really know how politics work. He also likes using various shortcuts, where some of the more important plot beats are just there for the sake of simplifying the story. In short- some things "go too easy". But, as i said, what Isayama does best are those *moments*. Full of emotions, surprising, sometimes even status quo changing. Till this day Reiner/Bertholt reveal scene is probably one of the best directed scenes i've seen in anime- kind of a one that you would watch 10 times, with your jaw dropping lower and lower. The main reason i've written this review is the fact that majority of other reviews on MAL are from 5 years ago- where Snk was still about zombies, not philosophical conflict. And with series probably ending in half a year, i think it's the best time to maybe convince people who watched only 1st season to actually pick up. Because trust me, it's totally worth it. I used to call SnK one of the most over-hyped series in existance, but now i'm fairly close to calling it a (flawed) masterpiece.

S Rare Soubi no Niau Kanojo review
It's a very funny manga for sure. It's a lot like Konosuba in which you have one rather beautiful, but useless girl. One guy who is smart and talented but rather cheap. ( Similar to Kazuma and how lazy he is. ) And a lot of friends with cool skills that seem useless but when they come together it. It's also filled with smoking hot waifus. So points there.
It also has a real story with goals and such, and it's really neat to see the characters grow and evolve as things go on while still seeing them acting the way they do. If you like anything like Konosuba, Yuuna and the haunted hot spring, Monster Musume, or anything like that, you pretty much can't go wrong with this series.

S+M review
if your are looking for an any actual s+m do not read this, the title is misleading. however if u enjoy shoujo love triangles , one that involves a chesty indecisive heroine and 2 good lookin twin brothers go ahead and read on.
personally i felt the female lead was poorly done, giving chesty girls a bad name..sigh. the male characters were better but being that the story is more from the girls perspective it doesnt really matter. the art was scanty and subpar so you hafta rely on strong story and sadly for me it wasnt there. there are far better smutty romances/love triangle mangas out there. overall i regret letting the intriguing title draw me in and make me curious enuf to read this. mebbe had it been named something more apt i cud have enjoyed it more for what it was and not dislike it for what it wasnt.

Bozebeats review
Here's my take after reading the first chapter of the demon purging technology that is Bozebeats by Ryouji Hirano.
The premise of the story is that Religious Monks adapted the modern technology in the field of science and weaponry to combat the threat of demons. Ryudaiji a Monk was on this journey to locate an purge a demon spirit that is terrorizing one forest which was notorious to be a place where people commits suicide. On his way, he met with a wolf boy Tamaki Madoka and his wolf companion. Things starts to develop between the two after the encounter with Tree Demon Spirit as Tamaki decides to go to the outside world to learn more about his past. At first glance, it was unappealing to me since I was thinking it was about sci-fi/mecha. This is due to the fact that I have read the one shot Boze (Published in March 2016) first before Bozebeats so I felt lukewarm and uninterested so I dropped it. However, things went differently after reading Bozebeats as it was a great read and the characters well thought out, leaning more to the character of Tamaki Madoka instead of the protagonist of Boze Ryudaiji. This was the best decision of Hirano-san could take after revising his one shot. I went back to read the entirety of his one shot and it was full of cliche and recycled troupes that popular manga used. Moreover, instead of redoing the whole story and concept he opted to progress the story via time skip to where Bozebeats was set up and improved on that which was brilliant and it paid off. The art was definitely improved and the flow of the story was solid. I am looking forward to how this manga develops in the future. With that said, I would give Bozebeats 8 enchated beads out of 10

Dame na Kanojo wa Amaetai review
This was a good story destroyed by the author's personal feelings about his manga getting cancelled and the later chapters were spent venting about his personal issues through the characters of this manga rather than following the original storyline and doing the things natural for the characters he had built.
The female lead was, from the beginning, a little easygoing and misunderstanding certain things; but it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I had hopes for the male lead but these were shattered when his innocent persona led to downright annoying misunderstandings and spoiler alert, there is no feeling of resolve at the end of the manga. It is left at an open ending and the situation of both the leads have substantially worsened compared to how they were at the start. TL;DR: The story becomes totally unrelated to the characters in the later chapters due to the author's personal gripe about this manga being axed and so he dedicated the final chapters to portray his resentment while dumping the original plot and rushing a poor ending. I recommend you don't waste your time by reading this.

Ana Satsujin review
This manga I feel is one that is really easy to simply not get into, in which case you simply miss the point of everything with nothing having an impact on you, and it'll probably seem terrible. On the other hand, if you do get into it like I did, I feel that it's one that can have a tremendous impact on you, in that this is the rare mangas that made me feel somewhat sick. Now this isn't because of gore or violence or anything like that, but because it has such a twisted viewpoint completely divorced from common sense and the hardest part about
reading this manga is trying to slowly come to understand that viewpoint, wherein upon finally fully getting into it, it made me feel incredibly uncomfortable, which I haven't really experienced with manga before. It frames death, life, and love in such a strange manner, but slowly builds up to it and makes it seems perfectly reasonable, with the opposing views more aligned with common sense being the antagonists, and that's just a lot to take in at times. The story was a pretty gripping and wild ride for most of it. Kurosu and his pathetic self that slowly grew in a strange direction contrasted quite well with Miyaichi who seemed to have a divine like presence to her, and watching them and their relationship build up was immensely interesting. That's where the problem begins though, in that there is a point, a very obvious climactic point, where the manga should have ended, but they forced it onwards anyway. The reason it should have ended at that point, is that it was the culmination of everything that happened up to that point and should have been able to end things quite finally and in a satisfying manner in a number of ways. Instead, it continued onwards, in an incredibly directionless manner, where it wasn't clear where they wanted to take the story, and in the process ended up completely destroying the value of the amazing climax that had occurred. It felt pathetic to read to be frank, but it wasn't terrible enough to be unsalvageable, wherein if they went back to the spirit of the first half they could end it reasonably well. However, they botch that completely and end up pulling some moronic ending that tries to make things go full circle, but in the process, end up making the protagonists regret everything that happened. The manga gets you to adopt a completely different abnormal state of mind, but right before it ends it forces you back into normality, and hence makes it feel like everything was wrong, that there wasn't much point to any of what you read at all. I was invested in their relationship as twisted as it may have been, and in what they originally wanted to with it, so the ending completely destroying all of that felt awful. In a strange sense, while I won't say the story was happy, it wasn't despair inducing either when approached from the point of view it felt like it wanted you to adopt, so the ending being one heavily focused on being despair inducing, felt like a terrible way to end the series and once that I wasn't satisfied with at all. Ultimately, I would have to say this manga is quite unique and very strange, which has the benefit of being amazing when done right, as it is in the first half, but very easily becoming terrible when not, as it does in the second. The art was pretty good.
tl;dr: A manga with a very unique look on society that works well for the first half but completely collapses in the second.

Kanojo mo Kanojo review
Since this manga received an anime adaptation, I decided to make a review for this one. I have read until chapter 36. (I won't put spoilers as much as possible)
The title "Kanojo mo Kanojo" basically means "She is also my Girlfriend" Overall, this manga is full of comedy. So while reading this, please don't think if it's realistic or no. What makes this manga interesting are the characters, story and the jokes/comedy of it. I recommend this anime to people who likes comedy or rom-com mangas. First, lets talk about the story. I rate it 8/10. The story is unique for me, and the backstory/stories of the heroines were, plus it's pretty funny so I rate it 8 for now. it might change in the future chapters. Also, how the author uses the concept "Neo Updating Rom-Com" are really good. Next, lets talk about the Characters. I rate it 10/10. The main characters are stupid in different ways. They are also pretty unique. Plus the Heroines are really cute. Let me describe them. These characters makes the story more interesting and funny. So I rate it 10 as of now. ・MC/Naoya - He is honest and straightforward person. (in good and bad way) He is stupid, like he literally asked his girlfriend if he can do two timing. ・Saki Saki - Tsundere and hyper heroine. First GF of the MC. She is stupid like the girl in 'Aho Girl' the only thing that differentiate them are that Saki Saki can feel the embarassment. FYI "Saki Saki" is her real name. ・Minase Nagisa - Brave, Humble and Hard worker heroine. 2nd GF. She is brave because she confessed to the MC, even though he already have a GF. She is humble because she mostly doesn't care about herself. She is hard worker, since she literally work hard to achieve her goal. She is stupid in studies, even though she studies/work hard she still fail. ・Mirisa - Tsundere, Youtuber heroine. She is more Tsundere than Saki Saki. She is also stupid like the other main characters. ・Shino - Friend of Saki Saki. She disagree to the two timing. as of now she is just a supporting heroine, but lets see... Art, I rate it 8/10. Since the artstyle of the author seems fine, and it seems clean so I rate it 8/10. Enjoyment, I rate it 10/10 I really enjoy it, since it makes me laugh always. It make sense, since the author of this is also the same author of "Aho Girl" which is a comedy manga/anime. Thanks for reading until here. Once again I recommend this manga to people who likes comedy and rom-com animes/mangas. Don't read this if you hate harem-ish manga. FYI I'm Team NAGISA!

Torikago no Tsugai review
WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD
(Side note: one of the first reviews I’ve written and it’s 4 am) Story - 6 The story revolves around pairs going into a death game of sorts chained together. The story really hammers in the themes of no regrets with how the pairs can’t go back after walking in certain rooms. I felt that the ending was very rushed with how twist was reliant on the main character not remembering one of the other characters in a flashback as a child. It also relies on the cliche of “the villain is the one who suggested we should do the thing”. Art - 7 The art is pretty good and the manga’s plot doesn’t really require stellar art design Characters - 6 At least half of the characters are like really dumb. The “I know everything but I’m going to let everything play out” archetype is in this manga and I think he’s a good character. As said in the story section, the main antagonist is pretty weak and really drags down the story due to a lack of build-up. I like how the main character has the mumbling/thinking mechanism he has. I haven’t seen another character have this trait and the reason behind it is realistic. Enjoyment - 7 I may sound like a broken record here but the ending really soured the manga for me. Overall it was enjoyable until that point. Overall - 6 I probably won’t remember this manga in a week but it was a good read at the time I read it.

Fourteen review
Fourteen is a... truly bizarre experience. No, I don't think you understand what extend of uncontrolled madness I'm talking about. Fourteen goes from humanoid KFC byproduct equipped with genius mind and militant approach towards humanity, through world-wide conspiracy covering up apocalypse with the power of soap-opera to a loli with a laser gun taking over a giant mechanical t-rex in space.
Fourteen is a saga that jumps from one absurdly bizzare idea to another, and manages to connect them in well-flowing story. It is really impressive to pack 20 volumes with unique and creative concepts that just keep getting more and more entertaining. The most bizarre part is, in fact, how the story actually makes sense. Especially after you realize what kinds of horrors and surreal situations took place. And it still makes sense in the grand scheme of the story. I wouldn't hesitate to call this Umezu Kazuo's Opus Magnum. Now of course, to truly enjoy this manga, you need to balance not taking it too seriously and taking it too seriously. The wackiness does cross into the comedy zone sometimes, especially if your sense of humor aligns with weird shit, but Fourteen still takes on some serious themes (of course, in it's own signature way) and especially the last arc and the finale itself is a poetical, philosophical take that might leave you in thoughts. As the story, the art itself too treads between wacky weirdness and horrifying horror. The art seems almost... warped at times, and I mean this in a good way. It surely helps to build up the atmosphere. The illustration are often in the uncanny valley teritorry. The art might seem bad at the start, especially if you're unfamiliar to Umezu's style, but you'll get used to it fast. Well, within the extent one is able to get used to an uncanny valley. Overall, this manga is not for everyone and will certainly shake their heads in disbelief that people actually like it, but if you're looking for something that is both unique and entertaining, if you're looking for a one of a kind manga, you should definitely try Fourteen.
