JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 7: Steel Ball Run review
Well I finally finished Steel Ball Run and what a fun trip on Mr. Valentine’s Wild Ride. This is the first manga that I have ever read for more than five seconds so I don’t know what is considered the norm for this genre. But I do love JoJo’s so I can at least appreciate it from that angle. Overall this was a pretty fun story with lots of good moments, but it also makes me realize that a lot of what I appreciate about JoJo, and what most people appreciate about it, has come about due to the excellent anime adaptation done by David Production.
The story is fantastical enough to be a JoJo tier story. A horse race across the United States. Of course it is revealed that it is so much more than that. And that it is actually about trying to gather up the pieces of Christ’s body. Referred to as “the saint.” The Japanese don’t really understand Christianity, like, at all. At least on a popular level. So, no one is shocked or surprised that Christ’s body exists in the first place. But again it’s JoJo so you just roll with these things. It was funny to me and so I got lots of laughs out of it, even though that probably wasn’t the intent at all. There were some JoJo tier twists that weren’t foreshadowed at all, but Araki impressed me a few times as well. I really liked how Dio was defeated for instance that was a good twist. It starts slow but the story really starts to pick up around Volume 10, and it rides out pretty well to the end with just a few boring parts. I didn’t like Araki’s use of constant flashbacks though. Wish that he could have told the story more succinctly without them.
The characters are good. The standouts are President Valentine and Lucy Steel for me. The two main characters Gyro Zeppeli and Johnny Joestar are good too, but they have a lot of boring stuff happen to them. I remember reading about Lucy Steel and President Valentine and being really interested and then it just switching over to them and I was like, “oh yeah these guys exist.” But like everything else they get better as the story progresses. I still think Johnny is a great Joestar, because he has to deal with this physical impairment. Unusual for characters no matter the genre. I also appreciated that he and Gyro entered the race for more selfish reasons, but by the end they didn’t even care about winning, they just wanted to stop Valentine. That’s some good hero building.
The stands. This is probably my biggest criticism of the story. Stands are really important in JoJo’s and I think Araki as he writes more, feels as though he has to create more interesting ones. They felt overly complex and there were times when a whole fight would pass by and I had no idea what the stand’s powers actually were. I did appreciate that the big bad’s stand didn’t control time. That has been a running theme (don’t know about part 6) and I think it has been overdone, so I’m glad Araki didn’t do that here. The whole golden rotation thing made no sense to me. And I think it serves as an example of how David Productions actually does a good job adapting these things in anime form for dumb dumbs like me. Couldn’t understand the manga, I’m sure I will understand the anime when/if it is ever released.
Lastly, the art was good. I don’t know how to judge it in terms of other manga or even JoJo manga, but I have read a fair bit of comics and this art was really good. The character designs are peak Araki and peak JoJo. It’s fun and I enjoyed how over the top everything was. Par for the course, which is a cut above most things.
All in all, I’m glad that I read it. I can’t say I’m necessarily inclined to read Stone Ocean or JoJolion or any of the other parts, but I did enjoy it. I think if you’re a JoJo fan and you want to read it, you don’t lose anything by it and it’s a good way to kill the time while waiting for them to announce Stone Ocean.

Shingeki no Kyojin review
Exhilarating.
That one word captures the story line of Attack On Titan beautifully. Each chapter continues to leave me in awe and a craving for more, I eagerly wait each month for the next dose of a mind blowing chapter. I truly can not stress how much of a masterpiece this manga is and I urge everyone who hasn't already to read it. I myself was never a huge fan of Manga but Attack On Titan isn't just a manga to me anymore it's a part of me in a sense, the raw emotion I feel when reading it highlights the brilliance of Hajime Isayama's ability to write a good story and the characters and their personalities are so well executed that they feel like real humans that I and many others can empathize with.

At first glance you'd assume Attack On Titan was just another generic anime with an obnoxiously loud protagonist on his path for revenge but fuck me that is just the tip of the iceberg, one of the things I love about AOT is how realistic it is. What's realistic about 60ft monstrous beings with an appetite for human flesh? Well as the story progresses we as the audience face the grueling reality that the real enemy are humans with goals and desires just like everyone else, it'd be more accurate to say there is no enemy only people who were raised with different beliefs, and that's what makes AOT so hauntingly beautiful. It captures the true nature of human's and portrays everyone as grey rather than black or white.

This story is far more complex and intricate than many would assume based off the beginning chapters but I assure you AOT is anything but generic, it's a story that illuminates the harshness and the cruelty of the real world whilst still maintaining a level of humor to balance out the gore and death that will inevitably come. If I could I would erase my memory of the manga just to experience it again for the first time, but I can't so I hope whoever reads this gives AOT a chance because it's definitely worth it.

Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e review
SPOILER ALERT:
So i finished this series a few days ago and decided to write a review for this cos holy fuck was this amazing. ( pls bear with me this is my first review) Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e entails a story set in the Koudo Ikusei high school which is a government run high school meant to train students and convert them into leaders of the world. Now like most of the western audience i found this series via the anime on Netflix. I was always a fan of the elite high school setting and this series takes it to a new damn level. The anime did a fantastic job of hooking me onto the series and making me curious for more, so i read this and feel extremely satisfied. The story is a 10 in my books. Art is not that great but coming from a doujinshi artist it is pretty good. Character development is not given to all the characters but mainly to ayanokouji. At the start he is a cold person who just want to mind his own business and enjoy his high school life but later on he realizes that the feeling like friendship and love which he earlier considered trivial and unimportant are actually pretty good once you receive it. The others who receive it are hirata, ryueen and kei. Tsukishiro is a pretty good antagonist who is also the main focus as an antagonist in the second year arc as of volume 3. I really enjoyed this series and am hoping and rooting for a season 2 because it really deserves a second chance.

Icon review
Icon by Mariko Nekono has an interesting premise - Akito Shinoyama is a detective whose wife died in mysterious circumstances five years earlier, and the case has never been solved. In present day, Akito solves difficult cases with the help of his brother in law, Toma, whom he took under his wing after his wife's death. Toma has supernatural abilities that help him locate missing people, but he can only use his powers if he's in pain. Since he and Akito have developed a romantic relationship, Akito is reluctant to let Toma assist him with his work as it comes with a great cost.

Sounds good, right? And it probably is if you like completely messed up relationships and characters who turn out to have horrible secrets. I couldn't bring myself to enjoy the manga one bit. Toma is unhealthily obsessed with Akito and their relationship is one of the most unbalanced I've seen in BL, and that says a lot. Neither character is sympathetic in any way, even after we learn more about them as people. In fact, they get progressively worse.

There is almost no effort put into the crimes the characters solve, and instead it's all about sex, angst and the puzzle pieces of Akito's wife's death coming together. I feel I must warn that if the premise made you expect really hardcore sex where Akito hurts Toma to activate his powers, there's nothing of the sort. The creepiness of this manga is entirely elsewhere, but I think it's pretty well handled. Some of you are probably already thinking that you know exactly who killed Akito's wife and why based on things I've said in this review, but the manga has a few interesting twists in store in that department.

I don't know if this is supposed to be a serious horror manga or some kind of bizarre comedy. There are moments where the characters turn into super deformed versions of themselves to act cute, and one page later we might be seeing messed up abuse. I've read other works by the mangaka - My Honey Express is one of my favourite BL titles ever - so reading this was quite a surreal experience.

The art is really nice, and there's a lot of detail in the sex scenes. If you want to read a BL manga that is creepy in ways other than one character raping the other, I absolutely recommend this. If you want sympathetic characters to root for, stay away.

Anata ga Watashi to Kurashitara review
STORY (5.5/10)
---------------------------
Not much to talk about in regards to the story or plots. Each chapter is a different scenario based around different characters, a one-shot if you will. The catalyst (basically the reason for having our characters in each story being cohabitants) for the vary a bit for each story but there wasn't anything outstanding that made a specific chapter stand out compared to the rest. Each story pretty much followed the intro>small conflict->resolution->happily ever after format. If I had to rate the stories from favorite to least then it would be something like [ch6 > ch2 > ch3 > ch5 > ch1 > ch4]. Not sure if it's a common characteristic of Josei manga but most of the chapters revolve around sexual desires.


ART (5.75/10)
-------------------------
The art was subpar, for lack of a better word. Nothing unique or memorable, but there were on the more mature and realistic side and fit the atmosphere of the manga. A lot of the characters looked like each other or at least the designs were quite similar. I'm not sure if it was my static memory but I found myself going back to other chapters to compare certain character art works. Sure, it's good to have consistent details and drawings but I think it would've been nice to see some variety on our couples-- especially for lovey-dovey romance works.


CHARACTERS (5.5/10)
--------------------------------------
Despite the chapters being one-shot romance stories based on a pair of characters, the characters themselves get brushed over rather quickly. The chapters all start off with a simple introduction from the female narrator. This is usually is just her name, a few panels here and there and some monologue of her "backstory". The male lead or romantic interest of the story would appear and the female protagonist/narrator would usually then introduce him to the readers. This, again is nothing more than a name, what she likes about him and so forth. There are some minor "conflicts" in each chapter involving the characters but I prefer to call them gimped emotional development. For example, the female character would have something troubling her that is confusing her emotions or has to put on a facade when dealing with others. However, the source of the problem is something rather trivial like "we don't have any sex" or "by living with you, I'm troubling you aren't I?". One of those A for effort, F for execution sort of thing.


ENJOYMENT/OVERALL (6/10)
---------------------------------------------------
I guess it was okay? I apologize for being rather simple but there isn't really much to expand my thoughts on that I haven't mentioned in my review already. I'm open-minded enough to try any type of manga so it didn't kill me to get through this manga or anything. Sure, there could have been improvements and refinement on the possible story development but I understand that each chapter was meant as a short/simple/sweet kind of read and I fully respect that.

Time Paradox Ghost Writer review
Immediately dives off a cliff after the first two chapters and spoils its premise by doing absolutely nothing with its hook.

Teppei is an aspiring mangaka who couldn’t catch a break. Despite all the blood, sweat, and tears, effort can only take you so far, and a little innate talent is necessary to succeed. On the verge of calling it quits, a freak accident allows a microwave to deliver Shonen Jump issues from 10 years into the future. Can plagiarizing the amazing debut from its pages be the path to success? But what follows after Chapter 2 is just a disappointing series of events and course corrections that leads it to being cancelled after 14 chapters.

The issue isn’t so much that the main character knowingly plagiarizes manga from future issues of Jump and more of an issue of that it never felt earned or justified. It’s no wonder the audience didn’t have anything to gravitate towards. Interesting conflicts that could have arisen are neutered by chapter 3 because the girl he’s stealing from is an absolute ditz with no agency, unable to put together the situation herself. Having realized this, the series bends over backwards scrambling to piece together a new plot twist that sails on male angst and being applauded a white knight when the initial story was already interesting and compelling to begin with.

The second half also spends an unordinarily amount of time trying to say the greatest manga of all time should be bland and without personality instead of being the culmination of different life experiences. And the conclusion is so obvious from miles away it’s excruciating waiting for the punch line. Turns out, you won’t be able to reach anyone if you’re writing something detached.

What you’ll have is something lifeless…just like this manga. What a shame.

Parallel Paradise review
In a world where the human male is but a concept, Parallel Paradise delivers a story of elaborate twists and turns, carefully spun threads of compelling story elements, and a sense of invoking thought. Initially seeming like a rather cliché isekai, filled with tasteless fanservice, it does a brilliant job of subverting expectations whilst bringing a fresh new idea and expanding upon it. It raises questions, leading the reader to ponder upon the fine boundary between man and women, the freedom of one’s sexuality, and the cogs in the system, so to speak. In a world, filled entirely by women- young ones, no less, how does the society diverge from our own?

The sexual sequences of the manga contrast heavily with the bleak, looming undertones. It is a world of death, a rule that has always been, and will continue to be. Youta’s actions stop being comedic, rather they take a whole new turn. In but a single moment, he has been cursed with the burden of responsibility, struck with the Samaritan Syndrome. For each girl he saves, another dies. Being able to save a life means being unable to save another, and for each moment he falters, yet another falls victim to the curse. This realization clearly takes a toll on him, as seen in Chapter 10 where his eyes, once full of lust, are filled with nothing but pity, and to a lesser extent, guilt. He knows not if his feelings are genuine. He does not know if he is right. All he knows is that he must mate.

Whilst all this goes on, so does the advancement of the plot. We are introduced, just like Youta, to more and more of this strange new world. The blatant intercourse seems less and less like fanservice, and more like a mere genre of plot. If a fantasy story is able to contain ranges from comedic elements to chilling horror, Parallel Paradise is able to convey a vast range of sullen emotions. One thing that never fails to impress is how the author is able to send across his use of tone, and how the chapters grow more and more normal as time progresses, to the extent of resembling and surpassing a regular fantasy piece. Because there are happy, whimsical scenes, the darker scenes hit even harder. When a character passes, it really sinks in. There is no semblance of plot armor for any of these women.

And such is the beginning of Parallel Paradise, a true masterpiece written in the way only Okamoto Lynn could, a sexual, passion driven tale that slowly spirals into a gritty, realistic mess of emotions and responsibility. A tale of a boy who’d been forced to mature, unable to experience an ordinary life. But most of all, it is but an adventure in a parallel world, a true Parallel Paradise.

LOVE / DEATH review
FLAVOR METER: Stale, yet edible.

There is not much to be said about this one, but if you're looking for a story with quite a bit of girl on girl interaction with a side dish of attempted murder - this is the manga for you!


-Story-

Alright, so to begin with the story!

Obviously, the concept of having two girls that love each other so much that they would literally kill each other, is laughable!

The thought of two, seemingly innocent lovers going from "I love you," to going at each others throats, for whatever reason, was comedic.

That's actually what attracted me to the manga in the first place, because that was the first time I've even read such a description. The idea of psycho vs psycho honestly isn't a unique plot, but a entirely new concept to me.

Unfortunately, that's all you're going to get out of this manga - including the Extra Episode, if you don't count the Nikochuu chapters.

It's repetitive, which makes the storyline a bit stale. The story isn't bad enough to drop, but it doesn't have a lot of substance beyond typical yandere scenarios.

The way that the manga goes about it is like a compilation of moments between the two main characters, that eventually does split into an entirely different set of characters out of the blue.

The Nikochuu chapters were a little displaced, and seemed better suited as an entirely different story on it's own. Which it was, but it took place in the same setting.

There is no plot to be had here, to be honest. It just seems like more of a yuri anthology than anything else.

I fell for the concept, just not so much of the execution. Which makes me believe that it is decent enough.

It could have had an interesting story going for it, given the circumstances.


-Art-

The art was very smooth! Clean, even.

I especially loved the facial expressions.

The artist did a good job portraying those emotions that they were trying to capture in a scene. Also, the background! It was fairly detailed.

Very great.

The character designs were simple, yet adorable!

Not much of a complaint here.


-Character-

Remember when I said that the most you're going to get out of this manga was "typical yandere" scenarios? That could speak highly for the characters as well. Again, excluding Nikochuu.

Our main characters, Akkii and Shouko, are nothing more than just a match made in heaven - or hell.

Their characters are literally the physical embodiment of the infamous saying, "If I can't have you, nobody can!"

They both love each other to literal death, but that's all that can be said about their relationship.

You don't necessarily get a good look at their personalities beyond this point, which is why the characterization is given a poor score from me. I personally felt as though the characters could have had a lot more going for them, rather than being minimalized to nothing more than an undead trope.

The main characters of the Nikochuu chapters, Aika and Mai, seemed to come out of nowehere without any previous mentions. This is where I think the story kind of trails off a bit, because it becomes split - kind of like two different sides of the same coin, if you will.

To be honest, I found them to be more entertaining because their relationship seemed a bit more relateable - and more well grounded than that of Akkii and Shouko's. Obviously.

Their relationship became a model of normalcy, in comparison to what we've witnessed in previous chapters.

I also found it to be really interesting, because of that parallel alone!

Which is something that I did like about the introduction of a different couple, which gives us a break from the cycle of repetition.


-Enjoyment-

Despite all that was said about the characters and the story, I actually did find those insane moments between Akkii and Shouko to be really humorous and entertaining, to say the least!

Even if it does beat the horse to death each chapter, it didn't make it any less enjoyable.

There were also moments between each set of characters that were actually really adorable!


-Overall-

All-in-all, I don't necessarily believe that this manga was meant to be taken seriously.

To me, it seemed that the author knew exactly what they were doing with this trope, and decided to mold it into the lives of two girls who just so happen to have an unwavering obsession with each other.

It is meant to be a laid back ride!

If you're looking for a short and facetious shoujo ai to pass the time, I'd recommend this one for sure.

Just beware if you have a peanut allergy, but it's full of nuts.
