Shingeki no Kyojin review
I was unsure if I would ever find another manga good enough to deserve my reviewing. And after reading volume six of Shingeki no Kyojin I can safely say the wait is over. What a manga!
STORY: 9/10 Throughout the history of action manga there have been hordes of fantastically evil creatures ganging up on any shounen hero that dares get in their way. Whether it be demons, hollows, or demons again one thing was always certain: Even though the characters appeared scared you knew everything would be okay. A main character can't die to one random monster out of the horde. They deserve noble deaths via human vs human fights. Shingeki no Kyojin abandons decades of stereotypes and does it in remarkable fashion. Never have I been so afraid, so physically frightened by "just another mob of pure evil monsters". In Shingeki the monster of choice happens to be giants. They don't have any special powers and in fact they aren't particularly massive considering they're giants. They walk, run, and even crawl around on the ground with blank, sometimes even silly faces and do nothing but eat and mangle every human in sight. This is something the mangaka has perfected despite the fact that this is the first manga he's ever written. Every single time a giant appears on the page your heart will start racing and your palms will become sweaty. Where do they come from and why do they devour humans despite having no anatomical need for it? These are all questions the mangaka presents early and skillfully hasn't answered yet. He's also created an incredibly thought-out world with paragraphs at the end of most chapters explaining things that would bore readers if squeezed into speech bubbles. Including, but not limited to: three-dimensional flying gear, anatomy of a giant, construction of the cities three walls, battle formations, and a type of strange retractable sword. The world feels rich and thought-out and will almost certainly suck in anyone who gives Shingeki no Kyojin a chance. ART: 8/10 I'm going to be perfectly honest and say that the artwork in the first two volumes is as close to shit as it gets. Actions aren't drawn very well, details aren't drawn very well, and its clear the mangaka had trouble drawing body proportions. But when volume three started it was almost like a switch was flipped and the art wasn't nearly as bad anymore. In fact, after having just finished the sixth volume, its among some of the better art I've seen in a manga. Characters are drawn very different from one another and have a crisp yet visibly sketchy feel to them. And the Giants! They slide around with their giant heads, oddly proportioned bodies, and silly facial expressions just creeping the shit out of me. The mangaka is very talented at drawing characters experiencing the scariest moment of their entire lives. What a bonus the art became in volume three, adding fear on top of fear to make one of the most chilling manga experiences even more so. CHARACTER: 9/10 Everybody is somebody. "What's the point of writing about a character with no personality or back story?" - Is what I imagine the mangaka asks himself before deciding to throw a new character into the mix. You'll find no blank-faced bad asses in this manga. You also won't find too many people with happy child-hoods either. Even though this is listed as a shounen it deals with very dark themes more suited for a seinen. Characters are often showed rattled and sometimes mentally scared from seeing their comrades get their heads bitten off in front of them. Either way, there is plenty of page time devoted to understanding characters and their roots. ENJOYMENT: 10/10 The depth of the world is immense. The art is very good (eventually). Characters are deep. The suspense is great. The giants are TERRIFYING! It's rare to find a manga that does so many different things so well. Whenever a new volume comes out I always know I'm in for another great experience I can't get anywhere else. OVERALL: 9/10 I can't give a perfect score to a manga with so few chapters so early in it's life span. But trust me; if the same amount of enjoyment I've experience in the first six volumes continues throughout the rest of the series it would be a 10 no doubt. You've gotta give this manga a shot. It's doing things that haven't really been done before, or at least not to this level. I'm setting the standard right now: You can't call yourself a fan of manga without reading Shingeki no Kyojin. Now get reading! *This review made possible by AironicallyHuman, who recommended this manga to me

MaMaMa: Mahou Iinchou Mako-chan Mahou Shidou review
tl;dr: A manga that starts out as a good short story okay but falls apart when it tries to become something larger.
This manga was really messy. It had a somewhat interesting character set, even if it didn’t do a lot with them yet. Plot wise it also started out kind of interesting in terms of premise. However, it wasn’t really the type of concept that could last that long, though I think they could still have done quite a bit more than they already did. As a result, as is the case with a lot of manga, it tried to transition from the old premise into a new premise pretty different from the old one, one that had a lot more potential in terms of being able to be an extended story. However, in doing so it really dropped the ball, and it didn’t work at all. As a result, unsurprisingly, it seems to have been cancelled immediately afterwards. The art was pretty good though.

As a hardcore Ichi the Killer fan, I deem "1 (1993)" to be an extremely important read before "Koroshiya 1 (1998)." If you would like to see it via film, please check out the live-action film: 1-Ichi (2003). Be sure and watch it before you watch the live-action film: Ichi the Killer (2001).
1 (1993) takes place during Hajime's School days, before all of the depraved, gore-filled blood shed depicted in Koroshiya 1 (1998). Hajime's (Ichi) day-to-day experiences with social ostracization, discrimination, and hardcore-bullying, in addition to being manipulated via brainwashing in the sequel are the byproducts which molded Hajime Shiroishi into becoming the killer that he turned out to be. In this manga, much alike the sequel, he's an introverted individual that likes to keep to himself. He likes to attend martial arts practice to master his deadly bone crushing kicks, and does what he needs to do to survive both academically, and quite literally. Both the manga and the live action (1-Ichi 2003) serve as a way of humanizing Hajime, or Ichi, without much murderous glamorization. In turn, this shows that he was not born as the depraved murderous lunatic that people made him out to be, rather, to show that people can only take so much humiliation, abuse, and torment until they snap, and ultimately lash out. This manga serves as a prequel before Hajime, or Ichi became a brainwashed hitman, and is very, very important to read before Koroshiya 1 (1998). This and the sequel are two of my favorite works of all time, and I can read them over, and over again. Highly Recommend; 10/10.

Infection review
First review yay.
The art it's ok, not bad... Everything else is though. The characters: They suck. Can't even remember their names. The plot: If you have read anything zombie related then you know the jizz. Just picture it with: no stakes and a ecchi scene every other panel and you got it.. Actually just picture Highschool of the dead.. But sadly no Hirano.. So not as fun :(. idk what else to say but this: How come the zambis have eye pupils when they only have worms swimming in their eye sockets? is there a black worm swimming in the middle of each socket? of each zambi? It fucking sucks. Butttttt if you like Highschool of the dead read it. You'll probably like it.

Misumisou review
This manga definitely isn't for everyone, as it is very often misinterpreted and trivialized. Many mention being lost in the manga, calling the bullies "lunatics" and "insane". Through all manga of Rensuke Oshikiri I've read, no character has been inherently bad, mentally ill nor plainly evil. There has always been a cause, and it is the point of the manga and a common theme occuring in his works - abuse breeds abuse.
Very heavy with a painful message, it requires more from you than passive reading. It is not to be read for enjoyment. I've started reading Misumisou as I've looked for series similar to Higurashi, not knowing what I get myself into. Most readers (me included) expected a classic revenge plot filled with gore. It is only an illusion after reading the synopsis. The characters and bullying are exaggerated, yet the message is painfully real and applying to the world we live in. Each of the kids carried on the abuse they have received from their parents and surroundings - like a curse, it was carried through different vessels. The protagonist wasn't the only victim, violence became a way to cope for many deeply broken characters. The group bullying and flowing violence, turning abused children into monsters themselves is most likely a reflection on Japanese society (although it is most likely a problem in every country, it is not as severe as in Japan where bullying is a subject of many media for a reason). Rensuke Oshikiri's art is my personal favorite together with widely acknowledged Junji Itou. It is perfect for what it is supposed to visualize - the ugly core of humanity, the part of the world nobody wants to see or think about. Which is shown by most viewers finding it very repulsive, going as far as criticizing the author's skills although they should never be questioned seeing the author's use of flow, perspective and overly realistically shown emotions. It obviously has its flaws (some expressions become repetitive after a longer while), yet calling the art "bad" is blasphemous. This manga is very heavy, touching subjects nobody wants to think or know about. It is not about bullying and gore, it shows a very real part of society. The children are not mentally ill nor born monsters - they are victims, desperate for affection. In the end, a very heavy scene occurs where one of the male characters steals the scene with seemingly bizarre behavior. It is very difficult to read, seeing the desperation and thirst for affection and love they have never received from their parental figure, which together with misery and extreme fear of abandonment bred shocking violence. For someone expecting a "slasher", this is not the right manga. If you look for something very heavy, referring to very real problems of Japanese society and worldwide domestic violence, I sincerely recommend you to read Misumisou.

Soshite Watashi wa Kaeru ni Koisuru review
This is simple a piece of art.
Is amazing how a very shot 4 pages story can touch your heart such a warm way. In ony 4 pages you can figure out the personality of the both characters, you can figure out his relationship and lots of things between them. I don't want to explain the story because is just 4 pages so I don't wanna a make spoilers, but I'll highly recommend this cute manga for all yaoi-lovers!

Himitsu no Akuma-chan review
Himitsu no Akuma-chan is a unique lighthearted comedy that's seemingly all service but it also makes you think.
It's also slightly lewd(but what isn't these days). The premise is interesting although not really important. The story is really one of coming to terms with your own feelings and developing the ability to judge based on feelings rather than prejudice. This message isn't preached but rather conveyed lightly. The delivery is through the comedy and done extremely well. In my opinion, even if you disregard the message, it is a good read that at the very least will help you pass some time with laughter. I enjoyed reading and I hope that you will give it a try too. Also, bonus points for traps.

Tokyo Mew Mew review
My first manga. :). Okay, so here we go.
Tokyo Mew Mew - we have to save the world. The plot is really simple. There's a girl, Ichigo, who falls for a guy Aoyama. He seemed to like her from the beginning :). Anyway, while being int the museum, or somewhere, there is an earthquake. She is with those 4 girls she doesn't know, and then BOOM ! She doesn't know what's happening, but she remembers a cat : ) Cool isn't it ? :D She became Mew Mew and got to save the world with help from Ryou, who's pretty hot. She has to find another Mew Mew's. So there's Mint, Lettuce, Zakuro and Purin. My favourite was always Zakuro, but there's nothing strange about that, I was twelve and inspired by her beautiful figure : D. So Mew Mew have to stop Kisshu, Tart and Pie, from helping Deep Blue to make him come back and destroy Earth. And there are thousands of funny moments. :D. When Ichigo can't control herself and she turns into cat and so on. So plot was very interesting for a twelve year old girl :D. But when I read it recently I founf it rather childish. But still I think it's a great manga story for girls 10-15 age :D. Art was good, but I was irritated by noses. When they were looking at left or right side, their noses were something like "We are from the Voldemort family" :D I loved every character in this manga. Every character. My favourite was Zakuro, but after reading it few weeks ago, I think I like Kisshu the most. I was like "Ichigo you stupid catwoman. He loves you. He's great ! You don't deserve him" :D. I enjoyed this manga :D. So I gave it fairly 6/10. Because it wasn't the best thing I've ever read but it wasn't also the worst one. It was pretty good. So, girls, let's read it, shall we ?

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations review
Giving you all some context, I used to love Naruto back in the day, but after the time skip, every thing just fell apart, and I stopped watching. A show about ninja's shouldn't try to be DBZ, and a story about a ninja boys coming of age story should at least allow the plot to give the boy some breathing room to develop. Instead we got the clusterfuck that was shippuden.
Boruto, while not perfect, gives you a story similar to what Naruto used to be. You could argue that Boruto is whiny and insufferable, but his attitude makes sense given his age and upbringing, and he doesn't take long to mostly conquer his daddy issues, which could be taken as a good thing or a bad thing. I honestly like how he's more laid back and a bit smarter than Naruto was. On the other hand, I don't like how they lazily made his motivation "I want to be like Sasuke!". Still, if it gives him some good moments between Sarada who DOES want to become the Hokage, I can roll with it. I also don't like how his eyes have to be some new hybrid variant that's super relevent to the plot. Hinata's eye trick was simple, cool, and it even gave her cool bulging eye veins. Would that not have been enough for Boruto? Sure, his teammate Sarada also has an eye trick, but they could have maybe found a way to explore th differences between the sharingan and byakugan and maybe allowed the two to work together and get around each others weaknesses. Most of the other characters are a problem, and until they develop enough I'm going to label them as forgettable ripoffs. The first main villian was absolutely terrible, and the story so far has mainly put the focus on Boruto and Sarada. Sarada is to Sakura what Boruto is to Naruto, and while she is kind of a ripoff, she lacks some of the negative qualities Sakura had, and right off the bat she actually gets opportunities to fight, not only that, she's actually good at it. Let's hope she doesn't get shoved to the side like Sakura was. The story has it's ups and downs so far, and also has inconsistencies. For example, I'm not sure I follow Naruto's train of thought when he was scolding his kid so hard. When Naruto was a kid he had a super powerful demon fox sealed inside him that he could rely on when shit hit the fan. He comes off as a hypocrite. I'm also not a fan of how Boruto is given a marking similar to how Sasuke got one. But hidden within the worse parts are nice little gems that made Naruto good back in the day. Sasuke's "loser" quote is a good example of this. The story is nothing special, but it does have a bit of charm. There are also little things I enjoy. Boruto can actually make a rasengan without relying on a clone to help him. Remember how it was hinted that Naruto was supposed to learn that, but they never let him have that? Boruto also seems less rely less on the clone technique than Naruto did. Let's hope he can learn a bunch of new techniques instead of using the same ones over and over again like his father did. I'm also hoping his eyes don't give him a "super powered evil side" like Naruto's fox abilities. I'm also hoping that Boruto will be given the opportunity to raise up in the ranks like his father was supposed to. Now for the final part: Would I recommend it? If you enjoyed Naruto back in the day but hate what it became, you might find a bit of enjoyment in this...for now. This story could just as easily go south like the original did, especially the first battle in Boruto is a sign of what's to come. If you're not looking for that nostalgia factor the original series did however, I'd have to say no. There are much better shounen stories out there. Here's hoping that Boruto learns from some of the mistakes it's predecessor had.
