First of all, this review will be written in spanish so, if you don't speak spanish, you can leave.

One Piece es un manga que claramente depende del lector para ser calificado. Para comenzar, voy a decir que One Piece fue el primer manga que leí, y que gracias a él estoy en el mundo de los mangas y animes. Tengan eso en cuenta dentro de mi review.

A mi me encanta One Piece. Ya desde el principio nos muestra la magia del mangaka, Eiichiro Oda, dentro de todos los aspectos. La historia es increíble, no por lo que sucede, que también está muy bien pensado, sino por cómo se cuenta. Eiichiro Oda tiene una gran manera de contar la historia. Entrelaza todo lo que sucede, y puede ser que algo que no pareciera tan importante, termina siendo algo que no deberíamos haber dejado pasar. Eso sucede mucho en One Piece, puesto que Oda hace que algo suceda, y luego, cuando ya nos olvidamos de ello, lo vuelve a sacar mostrándonos todo lo que eso significa.

También, la forma que tiene él de entender e identificarnos con los personajes es impresionante. Cómo nos muestra y enseña la historia de ellos, sus poderes, y hasta cómo los consiguieron, todo, tiene un significado en One Piece. Hasta los personajes secundarios tienen una historia impresionante que hace que nos identifiquemos con ellos.

Estas son las mejores dos partes de One Piece en mi opinión, la historia y los persones. Pero One Piece tiene tanto para darnos que no creo que sea suficiente, con solo contarles esto.

Voy a hablarles de un punto que en cierto punto es negativo, y esto es la longitud de One Piece.

Mucha gente dice que no quiere comenzar a leer el manga o a ver el anime de One Piece por su longitud, me ha pasado con muchos amigos. Pero, ¿Es que Oda alarga One Piece por gusto, o por necesidad?

Son muchas las personas que dicen que Oda sigue alargando One Piece solo por el dinero, pero esto a mí me parece totalmente estúpido y no, no es porque sea fan de One Piece, sino porque las personas envidiosas no pensaron antes de decirlo.
Oda podría retirarse ahora, sin haber terminado One Piece, y podría vivir con lo que tiene por el resto de su vida. Y no se si lo saben, pero el ya ha tenido muchos problemas de salud, y aún así, duerme solo 3 horas para hacer el manga de One Piece. Está adelantado 3 capitulos del manga, y aunque hace todo esto, el manga de One Piece suele subirse todas las semanas menos una, en la que Oda me imagino que descansará, espero.

¿A ustedes les parece que Oda lo hace solo por el dinero?
Puede ser que el dinero sea necesario, todos lo necesitamos, pero con todo el sacrificio que Oda hace día a día, me parece más claro que el agua que Oda ama lo que hace, y también lo hace por nosotros, sus fans.

Por eso, otro punto que me parece increíble de One Piece, es su creador.

One Piece es una maravilla de manga, por eso, a todo el que esté dudando de leerlo se lo digo fuerte y claro, ¡LEELO!

Well, this manga certainly is an experience. It's not bad, but it's not stellar either. It's about a magical boy and his fear of women, and it was a small read. Give it a shot if you like fanservice

Story: 4
The main point of this was clearly the fanservice, however, the plot was pretty cool. The author didn't make the story bad with all the fanservice, and it was just fun. It seems like it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. I would love for somebody to write a serious version of it, as its premise is interesting.

Art: 7
The art was erotic and attractive. The breasts and buttocks felt natural for the girls, they weren't oversized. Plus, the drawing was smooth, the character designs were nice to look at, and it wasn't over-detailed, but it definitely had attention to details. It would be a 6, but the breasts looked like breasts instead of airbags, so it's a 7.

Characters: 3
They didn't feel too much like characters, as to be expected by an 11 chapter manga. There wasn't enough time to really get attached, especially when their boobs and ass are being shoved in our faces.

Enjoyment: 5
It certainly was a read. It wasn't garbage or painful, but it wasn't entertaining either. It was just "meh".

Overall: 6
It's a good series if you like staring at boobs and ass. If ecchi isn't your style, then this probably isn't for you.

A UNIQUE SLICE OF LIFE

It's a quiet story that takes place in a modest Japanese household around the middle of the 20th Century (deduced from the stuff in the manga). It's very gentle and delicately drawn, and in it a sensitive book-loving girl approaches the end of middle or high school (probably the latter), and is soon to transition to work. As the big change begins to loom, she is reading a tranlated 19th Century novel. She reads it everywhere, at home, at school, and on the way between, and finds it captivating.

All around the girl as she reads, ordinary life plays out, and the depiction of all of her family and friends is masterful: memorable ordinary people created each with a few quick strokes. The girl has a HUGE imagination and it shows.

Not much, you say? Well, it was for me. I first read it around 2014 and just recently found myself longing to read it again in 2020. I wasn't disappointed.

This work is the perfect example of everything I hope "not" to read in a manga.

Story - 1
The story is just a cliché, with lots of melodrama, two much crying and an absolutely unbelievable plot. Too much like the typical soap-opera, it doesn't lack anything: revenge-driven plot, blackmailing, the usual intrigues of a wealthy family, and -of course- the typical soap-opera characters. So much happens in so short a time, and every event is so over the top, that everything ends up feeling rushed and even ridiculous.

Characters - 1
The characters are the martyr heroine that everybody envies and resents, and the perfect wealthy and handsome prince. Nothing new, really. Furthermore, I tend to hate josei manga that impose the "ideal" reach and handsome types.
The dialogs are bad. But the characters' inner thoughts are even worse, they are just too unrealistic, and they sometimes seem to have been put there just to explain the unexplainable. I really hate it when they come up with lines such as: "Oh! I can feel the warmth of his body. But I have just met him, I need to move away. Ah, uh, oh... Why am I feeling drawn to him?"

Art - 3
The art isn't as bad as the story, but I am not that keen on "Barbie-looking" female characters. The guy is supposed to be handsome, but he isn't really.

This is not a manga I enjoyed reading. I finished it because it's short... but I wouldn't recommend it.

Kingdom of Zombies seems like it's not very well known. Granted i hesitated a lot before i started reading it, but it was quite enjoyable. Although the Zombie virus is kind of a cliche, it never fails. On top of that, certain characters seem to have special abilities which spices up the story even more.

When it comes to how the story is written, im a little disappointed. It seems they keep skipping ahead really quick in the story. Instead of one small scene happening in a panel, it looks like several hours or days have passed.

If you enjoyed anything from The Walking Dead to Highschool of Dead, you should definitely try out this manhwa. It will suit your taste.

This manga is worth reading in my opinion.

I liked the art and was very consistent, however this manga doesn't draw a line betwen its "sweet" and obscure charge, it is a mess of emotions that builds slowly so the first chapters to the ones in the middle aren't as enjoyable to read but its climax at the end resolve much of the conflict you might have while reading trying to understand what is going on and gives more sense to the extreme characterization of the main characters, specially Sakura who seems unrealistic and obscure to an extreme.

There were some plot cards used that made no sense and had no resolving like the whole Niijima and his girlfriend revealing they knew information about the missing twin's whereabouts, conceiling then the information and never bringing it up again.
Therefore in my opinion, most of the secondary characters felt forced into the story and the plot, which shows the lack of effort put into the story.

Even though side characters and story isn't the best out of this manga, the two main characters and their development throughout the story compensate its weak points.
The art was pretty good and it definetly is worth a reading.

Before reading this review I would like to clarify I do not condone torture in real life. But when it is in a fiction setting then I would say go all out no one is getting hurt.

Personally, for me, I have not come across a revenge manga that can satisfy me usually it fell flat either in my opinion came to an end too quickly or the punishment just does not seem to be that fulfilling.

This revenge Manga for some reason satisfy me I think it has to do with that all the torture is more sadistic than one could imagine and the fact that all the villain character have been given a background so evil that I think the devil would look at it for references just put the cherry on top. I legitly grinned widely when I am reading it especially on the part where the villain characters just break.

Now that my opinion is out of the way here are the ratings and why.

Story: 5/10
Good Revenge Story but it gets repetitive after a while the basic (they did me wrong I would inflict on them immeasurable pain) but the formula still works for my enjoyment. Also, the fact that he is so OP (Isekai Trope) works so better in the story you will get it when you read it.

Art: 8/10
Art is very well done some I would even say it is captivating.

Character: 6/10
This is where the author shines again the MC is not your typical angry revenge-seeking character. He is so likable the way he treats each situation each revenge so nonchalantly, to the fact that he is sadistic with no shit given. He is the pure embodiment of Chaotic Neutral. The manga has no other side character other than the MC and the Goddess (So Far In Chpt 18). It is choked full of Antagonists which all can be summed up to evil just because and pathetic later on, yet the author did a fantastic job in making us hate them even some of the minor Antoginist.

Enjoyment: 10/10
Do I have to say more it is, in my opinion, a revenge story that will have you grinned if you like sadistic and inhumane torture to the point that you will not care if this is justice or not as long as you get to see what he has planned for the next story.

Closing words:
If you like revenge story that has inhumane torture this is something you should try. If not don't as I don't think some people might stomach it and I do not need another argument about how this book is immoral or the author is bad just because he creates such a sadistic story. I know then turned off and enjoyed but it still kinda pisses me off a little.

I'll be honest. Many years ago I found this manga when it nearly has four chapters translated. My tastes were pretty bad by then, but even so I rated this manga as shit. Why? I'm about to explain that...

Story: 2
Even if the concept of a zombie apocalypse is new, the originality becomes questionable when the first chapters are a copy/paste from Highschool of the Dead. Seriously, even the way in which the protagonist discovers the apocalypse is exactly the same.
Aside from that, the story is a mess for many reasons.
First, is full of plot holes. For example, in the beginning people who are killed by the mahou shoujo turn into zombie. Later on this doesn't happen anymore, and everytime people die they just stay like that. It's like the author have some kind of amnesia.
Second, it tries too hard to be shocking. The story constantly introduces new characters to kill them right away. In one chapter, the author decided to do a flashback for two character who lasted no more than three episodes before dying. Sadly, you're unable to feel something for some stranger dying.
Third, dumb plot twists and the author adds stuff because yes. Sometimes it really feels like he planned nothing. I don't know what this manga is about anymore because it's a mixture of too many things.
Fourth, fanservice is everywhere. I have nothing against ecchi, but make it look natural.
Fifth, full of tropes and too many coincidences.

Art: 4
From average to bad. Action and gore looks pretty confusing sometimes and many angles are wrong. Boobs don't work like that. Muscles don't work like that. I'd gladly show you what I'm talking about if I could.
At least there's plenty funny faces for reactions.

Characters: 2
The worst part. Every character is bland, boring and archetypal. I've read 33 chapters so far and I know NOTHING about the MC. His personality is still ambiguous and his character development is zero. He's nothing but and uninteresting potato.
Then there's our main villain. He's evil for the sake of being evil. At least he isn't boring like our MC, but it doesn't save him from being your average psychopath from a third rated show.
There's a solely reason which refrains me from giving an one and that's Akuta. He has a shitty personality, doesn't care about others, wants to rape one of the female leads and deserves to burn in hell for all eternity. Yes, he's a despicable human being, but also the only interesting character and when he's in the spotlight the manga gets slightly better. He's a better MC than our current MC, and I think that the author thinks the same since he's stealing all the show for himself lately.
You know that something is wrong with a manga when a side character made for comic relief has more development than the MC.

Enjoyment: 5
I gadly give it a 10, but I'm enjoying it for the wrong reasons. Actually, I like reading bad mangas like these where nothing makes sense, and Mahou Shoujo of the Dead suprise me everytime adding more and more dumb plot twists and shonen elements. It's unpredictable. You'll never know what the author will do next to make the story even more laughable.
If you like the "so bad it's good" kind of manga, it's worth reading. Otherwise, don't ever touch it.

Overall:
Mahou Shoujo of the End fails at everything. I wouldn't recomment it to anyone.

Alright then.

THis is one of the works with high amounts of shock content, dismemberments, people acting in horrible way, and horrible, horrible, horrible thigns happening to people very often.

The difference is, in this case we have very high quality art and the story is not completely horrible.

The strong point of this manga is the artist, which produced very high quality visuals for pretty much every page. The characters are realistically drawn, environments are detailed.

The weak part of this story is... technobabble and scienc-o-babble aspect of it. Basically, when the manga tries to explain few things from scientific points of view, if you know anything about medicine, genetics and the like, believability will fly out of the window, and illusion of any sort of plausibility will shatter. Basically, anything related to science is complete nonsense and is pretty much explained in a "magical" way.

Another thing worth mentioning is that in some works japanese have a tradition: when somebody is doing something evil, they draw crazy face on them. To demonstrate loss of humanity, i guess? This happens here. Quite often, but there are mangas that have it worse.

And the final detail is... this work would've worked better as a collection of short stories. Currently it is a frankenstein, where there are multiple characters, it spends several chapters explaining each character in detail. The problem here is that while individual character stories are believable and aren't that bad, those characters are afterwards shoehorned into the main plot, and that doesn't look very convincing.

And that's rough idea of it.

Basically, it might be worth watching, if you want gore that is not completely brainless and has a good artist. Then this work is for you.

- "(...) Are you saying you consider masturbating to be primary function of life like breathing? That you masturbate so you can live?"
- "No. I live so I can masturbate. I breathe so I can masturbate."

Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou is really short seinen ecchi romance. Because of its length it doesn't offer much story progression or character development. What it does offer, is damn good ecchi and some good comedy. Romance part is rather average from technical perspective but satisfying nonetheless. Despite axed ending and forced drama near the end, the story felt finished and not too rushed.
Cast is small. Other than 2 mains there are only like 4 side characters that that have any meaning for story. We get to learn some backstory for main pair and see different sides of their characters, but I'd say they are still pretty simple and don't really change over the course of story.

Art in this manga is really good. Character design and background are solid, but what is the most important is how well the author drew ecchi scenes. While drawing of bodies themselves could be better, the angles, motion and effect made them really erotic.

When it comes to enjoyment it should be pretty high for anyone who, like me, enjoys good ecchi that doesn't rely on flooding reader with boobs. On the other hand there is understandable turnoff in form of NTR scares. Still, it's a short manga with satisfying ending, that at times can be more erotic than many hentai titles. If you like ecchi in seinen version, then you definitely should try Kimi wa Midara na Boku no Joou.
