This may be the one of the best shonen battle manga ever read, the story about a pirate that is trying to fine the One piece to become the pirate king. The main character traveling around the world meeting new friends and making the coolest crew mates of the sea. Every adventures is a unique story were the main character and his friends fight with many enemies that including the navy and the marines. I give this manga 10 because it took me a lot of time to appreciate this work of art, the first time i saw One piece i thought it was a kiddy show but one of my best friend highly recommend to give it a chance because it has some epics moments and thanks to that i found a great manga.The casual viewer may find this series to long but if you find the time to marathon a series i highly recommend this one.

There was once a beautiful city in the countryside where everyone liked to live. It had a limpid and gorgeous river flowing in the middle of it where people liked to gather as it was a perfect place to have a picnic and enjoy the surrounding scenery.

As the decades had gone by, this splendid river was turned into a sewage system. Eventually, most of the inhabitants forgot about its former beauty and have to pinch their nose when they go nearby because of the putrid smell. Everyone forgot except for an old lady that regurlarly takes a nap on the bench right in front of it. There, she dreams. She dreams of her past, a sort of idealized past seemingly coming right from the period novels she used to read as a kid, living a life of fake luxury to escape this sad reality.
No one really knows who she is but everyone likes to look at her peaceful sleeping face, the last ray of light in this now filthy place.

The story of Dobugawa flutters around the life of the many members of this town and shows how warmness can easily be communicated between people. Be it the students still in quest of identity and plans of the future, the young girl trying to become a professional ballet dancer, the middle-aged man that likes to listen to opera after a hard day of work or even the housewife that tries to find new meals to prepare to her family every day… None of them know each other but their destinies are linked, their lives intersect and improve for the better all thanks that one old lady.

I got interested in this after reading “Kagome Kagome” (this one is available online) and I’m still amazed at Aoi Ikebe skills at visual storytelling. Characters don’t even need to say a word to feel deep and her paneling is enough to convey all the necessary emotions across to the reader. The way she presents her world is poetic and soothing, dreams and reality intertwine perfectly to provide a once in a lifetime experience.
While it can seem the story tells nothing much, it’s surprisingly complex and dense once you try to reconstitute all the little fragments of memories scattered through the whole volume, leaving at the same time a lot of room for interpretation and to imagine the full length of their narrative.

If you’re sensible to onirical experiences and to slow-burn type of stories, then Dobugawa is an easy way to relax, Aoi Ikebe proving once again she’s a fantastic artist.

Fellas, you ever love a girl so much you… beat the shit out of her?? Yes??? No??? I sure as fuck hope not.

Ladies and gentlemen, people of MAL, let me introduce you to a manga called Mahou Shoujo Neko X—a short-lived two volume manga with a little bit of everything. You’ve got action, super powers, romance, ecchi… ‘comedy.’ Sound good? Good. Our story follows the daily adventures of a cat girl EVO, Peke, and her owner, Yamato, as they hunt down the EVOs in their city and get into wacky romcom ecchi situations. Now, doesn’t that sound like the plot to a perfectly average 2000s romcom ecchi manga? It sure does. The night I chose to read this manga, I was in the mood for something lighthearted, cute and a little sexy. My friends… Nothing could have prepared me for the bleak world of Mahou Shoujo Neko X.

The Juumen in Mahou Shoujo Neko X live sad, miserable lives, in a world rife with racism and oppression directed toward them. Despite having the same mental facilities as humans, they do not have human rights. They have few choices for how they want to live their lives: be kept as pets, work for humans or live homeless on the streets. Certain establishments, such as cafes, do not even allow them in. If you wanted to bang some nekomimi babe in this world, people would see you as a freak into bestiality.

This brings us back to our two main characters, Peke and Yamato. Peke is madly in love with Yamato, and Yamato is madly in love with Peke, but he doesn’t want to be seen as the guy who fucked his cat. So how does Yamato respond to this situation, where the love between him and his moe cat girl pet is forbidden? Like any normal person, he decides to take being tsundere to the next level and become an actual psychopath, violently abusing and humiliating Peke every chance he gets. When Peke shows him affection, he responds by kicking or hitting her. Even when Peke is minding her own business, he goes out of his way to treat her with cruelty, doing things like shooting her with a bb gun or stealing her bathing suit so she’s forced to walk around nude in public. These events often leave Peke crying and hurt, unsure of exactly what she did wrong.

How do the other EVOs in this story fare? Well, arguably better than Peke, but not by much. Are you an EVO who wants to fight back against the humans who oppress you? Very well, face the wrath of this teenage freak and his cat girl pet with Stockholm syndrome and Hulk strength. The captured EVOs have their powers sealed by special collars, and they are taken away, likely to be imprisoned or enslaved. The world of Mahou Shoujo Neko X is shockingly bleak. If I went into every fucked up moment in this manga, I would be here all day.

I’m not going to pretend I’m some reader with high brow taste. Quite frankly, I love awful, edgy manga and anime boobies. If you browse my profile, you’ll see I am a proud consumer of problematic media. So why do I take issue with this manga? For a brief moment, let’s talk about the tsundere archetype and female-on-male violence. Female tsunderes are notoriously violent with their male love interests and very few people seem to take issue with that, but why? Two reasons.

First, people are less sensitive about male characters being treated violently, due to society’s perception of men as tough and free of emotion. A man? Being abused? Society doubts that, especially if it’s by a woman. Meanwhile, women are seen as weak and vulnerable, needing protection. Many MAL folks seemed to take issue with the series Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!! for that reason. The main male character in Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!! regularly hits the main girl with a metal baseball bat, causing her to go flying into the sky in an overtly comical fashion. Double-standards aside, there is a big difference that separates the violence in Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!! from the violence in Mahou Shoujo Neko X, which I will discuss in a few paragraphs.

Anyway, back to tsunderes.

Second, the way female-on-male violence is portrayed with tsunderes (usually) does not resemble real life abuse. The average author intends his tsundere hitting or kicking her love interest to be seen as comedic or cute. You could argue that the actions of a tsundere are still abusive, but that isn’t (usually) the intent of the author, and the tsundere’s outbursts seldom lead to truly negative consequences or the male love interest being seriously hurt.

Now, what if we swapped Peke and Yamato’s genders. Would a female Yamato be perceived the same way as, let’s say, a Rin Tohsaka? Maybe. I imagine there are a lot of people who would be fine with that, because after all, it’s the guy being abused, and who doesn’t want a cute anime girl to step on them? Still, I’m going to have to say the dynamic between Peke and Yamato would continue to be fucked up even if their genders were swapped, and the reasons for that are the tone of Mahou Shoujo Neko X and the intentions of the author.

Let’s talk about the tone. The setting of Mahou Shoujo Neko X is very dark, but the tone of the manga is akin to that of your average ecchi romcom with a side of drama. Peke and Yamato get into wacky situations, there’s a bit of action when other EVOs show up, some fanservice, some serious moments regarding the romance or treatment of the Juumen, ect. The manga has plenty of silly moments, but there is a serious story there, and the comedy is grounded in reality. This brings us back to Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!! which features a similar blend of comedy and serious moments, but the crucial difference between these two series is Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!! regularly employs slapstick humor. I think Mahou Shoujo Neko X attempts to use slapstick in a single scene, but the results are much more disturbing than comedic, as it feels no different than the usual abuse inflicted upon Peke. Peke’s abuse is too grounded and real to work as slapstick or zany comedy.

Let’s talk about the intentions of the author. The author clearly intended for the interactions between Yamato and Peke to be humorous, and for the reader to sympathize with Yamato after learning how much he’s been struggling with his love for Peke. But, what is there to sympathize with? The extent of Yamato’s struggles is he doesn’t want to be the guy that fucked his cat. Not to mention, he also seems to take pleasure in Peke’s torment, relishing every chance he has to humiliate her. The character of Yamato is just… kind of despicable in general, even outside of his abuse of Peke. There aren’t any redeeming qualities in the character. Ironically, even in the manga, Yamato’s abusive tendencies aren’t viewed as normal. Some characters on the sidelines express disgust after seeing the way he abuses Peke. If Yamato were presented to the reader as he is—a cruel, abusive asshole not meant to be likable or sympathetic—I wouldn’t have any problems with the character. Sometimes characters are just awful and abusive and that’s fine, because it’s fiction. The author of Mahou Shoujo Neko X is self aware enough that he realizes the behavior of Yamato isn’t normal or rational, but he still tries to justify the character’s abusive tendencies and portray the romance between Yamato and Peke as touching and cute. It just doesn’t work.

Now that I’ve finished rambling about that, let’s talk about the manga as a whole, since this is a proper review.

Story – 3

The basic concept behind the story here isn’t anything special. Kemonomimi people racism isn’t a particularly original idea at this point. I dare say it’s even been overdone. If not for the abuse, the romance between Peke and Yamato would be incredibly forgettable as well. It’s a pretty standard tale of forbidden love. Cat loves boy. Boy loves cat. Society says boy loving cat is wrong, so boy is sad. Things get weird when boy decides to beat the shit out of cat. There’s some episodic chapters featuring the wacky adventures of our couple, and those are nothing special. The action? It’s forgettable. The comedy? Unfunny at best, disturbing at worst. The only noteworthy thing about the story is how shockingly dark and mean-spirited it is, despite wearing the skin of your average ecchi romcom. Maybe some of these ideas could have worked in another manga. You could dial back on the abuse and mean-spirited aspects of the story and have a fun, lighthearted manga, or you could dial those things up to eleven and have some good edgy garbage. Honestly, you could even go for something in the spirit of Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan and make it a violent, zany comedy. Allegedly, the manga was axed after two volumes, so I imagine the author wasn’t able to express his complete vision, but… all things considered, I don’t think that would have helped. The story is incredibly poorly done.

Art – 8

The only good thing this manga has to offer, for sure. The art style is peak 2000s anime aesthetics. The girls are all very cute, and the full color illustrations are especially pleasant to look at. Honestly, that’s what lead me to read this manga in the first place. I was drawn to the cute, colorful volume covers.

Sidenote, but there was a lovely figure manufactured by a company called Kaiyodo based on the volume one cover art. I kind of want it lol.

Character – 1

Every recurring character in this manga is abyssal. Let’s start with our beautiful couple, Yamato and Peke.

Peke is the moe cat girl who wants to do her best for her master. She is in love with him and very horny. Occasionally she’ll do something a little sexy, like show some skin or get turned on when Yamato touches her, to which he responds by telling her that’s disgusting and punching the shit out of her. She doesn’t really understand why Yamato abuses her, but she takes it and continues to love him. She also has superpowers, which she uses to fight alongside her oppressors and imprison her fellow Juumen.

Yamato is an asshole otaku and high school student with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. When he isn’t tormenting Peke or being a horny otaku, he’s tormenting actual animals or abusing the power handed to him by his mother to do things like arrest innocent Juumen for crimes as insignificant as writing an ending he didn’t like in a manga. He’s pretty much every unlikable trait you could ask for in a male protagonist. Allegedly, he is in love with Peke, but because he doesn’t want to be seen as the sicko who boinked his cat, he yells at and pummels the cat instead.

How about the rest of our main cast? Well, we have Umako aka HORSECOCK, a justice-obsessed horse girl EVO. She has a massive schlong that she likes to show people. We also have Yamato’s sister, Yukikaze, who enjoys cosplaying and trying to fuck her brother. She isn’t too happy about her brother wanting to fuck the pet cat, so she regularly tries to seduce him and get him to like human girls. There aren’t really any noteworthy side characters. Yamato and Yukikaze’s mother does have a role in the story, but she doesn’t show up much.

Enjoyment – 4

I did not find this manga enjoyable, yet I couldn’t bring myself to drop it. The comedy is not funny, the action is forgettable, and the drama and romance are AWFUL. From the very first chapter, I became fascinated by Mahou Shoujo Neko X, and as I continued to read it, I continued to be amazed by this raging dumpster fire. It is such a bizarre experience, especially when you go in completely blind. I was not expecting ANY of the fucked up stuff I mentioned in this review. Keep in mind, there’s also a lot of stuff I chose not to talk about, because this review is already way too long. I laughed a lot while I was reading this manga; not because I thought it was genuinely funny, but because I was just… in shock. I love reading trashy, edgy manga, but I’d never experienced anything like this before. In the words of the great RedLetterMedia, the author sure did manage to subvert my expectations.

Overall – 2

Mahou Shoujo Neko X is one of the worst manga I have ever read. I don’t think I’m exaggerating at all when I say that. It’s a truly terrible manga, with some of the worst characters I have ever seen, and, definitely, the worst romantic couple I have ever seen. It’s just baffling. The comedy doesn’t work. The drama doesn’t work. The male protagonist and his family are inhuman monsters. The cute and colorful ecchi romcom shell of Mahou Shoujo Neko X hides a sinister nightmare world, where kemonomimi racism runs rampant on the streets and public order is defended by a cat girl with Stockholm syndrome and her freak of an owner that seems to enjoy making her miserable. All that said, I wasn’t completely miserable while reading this manga. I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it either, but the shock value provided me with some good laughs. After I finished the manga, I immediately went to rant about it to three separate people. For whatever reason, this is the awful manga that grabbed my attention and made me want to write my first MAL review. It’s so fucked up and weird, I just had to tell people about it. Would I recommend this manga to anyone? Well, if you’re a garbage connoisseur or you like cat girl abuse, this could be the manga for you. I would not recommend this manga to anyone without such specific interests.

Now, let’s end this on a positive note. The author wanted to publish this manga and he did. The absolute madlad put his cat girl abuse fantasies out there for all the world to see and he even got a figure of his battered cat girl waifu. That’s pretty cool. After they axed his manga, he went on to make three hentai doujinshi that continue the story. Sadly, only the first received an English translation, but you are able to look at the scans for the other two. Ladies and gentlemen of MAL, don’t let your memes be dreams.

Thank you for reading!

The short review is that this is a story about a porn actress who has the ability drastically increase her physical size to gigantic levels combined with Tokyo getting hit by a number of disasters of the natural or unnatural variety. You will like it if you enjoy an author's attempt to visualize the largest breasts of all time, but also don't mind reading a story with more holes than the female lead.

In greater detail:
Since this story is by Oku Hiroya, you're know what you're in for. Violence, guts, death, gore, nudity, sci-fi and action. That's all fine and dandy, after all if you're scared of a few beheadings in media in this day and age, you probably haven't looked at the world very closely. The problem here is the methods in which the story is advanced or told. McGuffin-level coincidences are forced to accelerate things along to the reason everyone picked this up in the first place, and there are large sections of story where very few words are spoken at all. I know we're supposed to be shown, not told, but some talking would be useful sometimes.

The art is the best aspect of this manga and is fairly well done. Oku has had a lot of practice at this sort of thing and there's the usual imaginative evils for the good guys to clash with. If you've made it this far, you probably already know there's at least two big reasons you're reading this manga.

There are two main characters, the male and female leads.

Our male lead, Rei, has no special abilities short of being a nice guy in the right place at the right time. He has done and appears capable of nothing noteworthy. So far, he could be replaced by an emotionally supportive dildo and it very nearly wouldn't change the story.

The female lead, the one you're all here fore, is Papico the porn star. She is designed to be every male's dream woman: Incredibly beautiful, desirable, emotionally needy, wanting to please her man, but yet also ready to be a super buttkicking badass at a moment's notice. What can't she be?!

That's it. The male acts so you want to be him, and the female acts so you want to get with her.

It wasn't as unenjoyable as it could have been, to be honest. You can really blaze through it because there's so many pages without any words on them, unless you want to take an extremely close look at body parts, both attached and unattached.

Overall, you know what you're going to get. There is no secret awesome sci-fi story here that's being overshadowed by giant round flesh orbs, so no need to pretend otherwise.

There is no genre of manga that is more avant-garde than the ero guro movement. Ero Guro nansensu is a movement famed for depicting extreme gorey horror with themes of sexual violence. No ero guro manga is more famous than Shoujo Tsubaki.

The story revolves around an innocent 12-year-old orphan named Midori, who is tricked into becoming a slave for a carnival freak show. She is regularly assaulted and abused by the performers of the freak show acts. After the arrival of a magician that treats her kindly and sweeps her off her feet, he becomes a beacon to the impressionable and naive young girl. This manga can easily be surmised as uncomfortable debauchery as one outrage after another is put on full display.

The ero guro genre and in particular the works of Suehiro Maruo challenge the absolute corruption of society and the evils that are enacted upon children. Maruo’s artwork is beautiful in all of its grotesque glory despite the abominable subject matter. There is nothing pleasurable about reading this manga, but instead, it arouses disgust and discomfort when faced with unfiltered deviancy. The only way to approach it is with objectivity and to separate the story and the art with the ideas that it represents. This isn’t a manga that I can rightfully give a subjective rating to nor recommend to anyone either, but I can still appreciate it as a defining work of the genre.

Uhm.. First of all, this manga has pacing issues. It is obvious in the first 3 chapters because it uses flashback in a place where you normally wouldn't have one. I have only read the first 7 as of this moment

By the look of the female characters you can know who joins the MC. None of them stand out other than the first one, or second depending on how you count.

Enjoyment for me was low dues to poor characters, poor pacing, per now a single one dimensional "antagonist" and some choices in the world building. I have read a few isekais and I like isekai, but not this one. Have an otherwise nice day.

Fairy Girls is a manga based off the manga and anime Fairy Tail by Hiro Mashima. Personally, I think this manga was beautiful, but the plot was not developed as well as it could have been. The action part of it was not correctly blended with the everyday life aspect, and while the story was okay, the characters created were not very consistent. The humor was developed more for males than females, with quite a bit of fan service, and the attempt at exciting action was not very heart pounding or moving. Overall, this manga was very fun and cheery, but I would not recommend it for action readers or people who are looking for something a bit more in depth.

A thousand times we die in one life. We crumble, break, and tear apart until the layers of illusion are burned away and all that's left, is the truth of who and what we really are. Is what you’re living for right now is worth dying for?

This manga undeniably will send chills down on your spine. I just though this is just some your average harem manga but seem like I mistakenly judged it. With completely dark side story brought in a new horror you will never expect. Don’t stop yet, because our nightmare is just a beginning. The true nature of this dark side story really startled me. You want to ask, what does that mean? It's simple, no matter how awful it may seem, it is still the gore genre. It’s just defining the reality of our world face now. Our world is already messed up. Some people are depressed because don’t have an Iphone, while on the opposite, there people who cry because doesn’t have money to feed for their family. See the difference? Back to the main plot. The theme of this manga is “Survival of the fittest”. Little by little, one by one, consumed by their own selfishness, love, hatred and desire to live in this cruel world. Truth to be told, I’ve never seen manga so brutal. It even successfully defeated anime Elfen Lied in gore genre. This manga will leave you speechless. I have mixed feeling while I try to write this review but let put the emotion aside.

Let’s get to main story shall we?

Story 8/10
The story revolves around daily life of a high school boy name Riku Kominatio. Riku harbors romantic feeling towards his classmate Riko Kissei who look like idol in the school. While Riku's childhood friend Haju is deeply in love with him. Suddenly, a new transfer name Nodoka, Kishin gets transferred to Riku's high school. Could this be a harem? It would be good if it goes like any harem story but sadly this is the starter of nightmare they will go through. Some weird rumor has been spread out of nowhere. It about a game called "Die Any Day". Riku and all girls will play one dead game. Riku can choose only one girl as his true love. The other girls will be a sacrificed to the true love girl. This game will just kept hunting them without no way out until the decision has been made. Who will Riku choose and save?

Art 8/10
I must say, the art is really beautiful. It's just a fantastic! The scene, character and everything. All is pretty well done indeed. Nicely done!

Enjoyment and Overall 9/10
I’m not a fan of gore and such. I at least will avoid watching or reading anime and manga of those genres because I can’t stand this gore thing and stuff. Nevertheless, I gave this manga a shot to see how far this manga can go. Actually, I don’t know this manga is a gore genre first. I think I just read some normal harem manga but it goes wrong. Since I have already read it, why not reading until the end right? Regretful, I still think this manga is too violent. So if you can’t stand it, just avoid it. No need to suffer like myself now because I’m quite softhearted inside. Still, I can say I’m pretty enjoying the manga. It has a great plot line with the urge to show the darkness that buried in everybody heart. So I’m kind of enjoying it. Sure, I give you a recommendation to give it a shot. That is the end of my review. Thanks for taking your time to read it.

Up to the final end, this manga never failed to startle me. It's a shame, I still can feels the chills down to my spine even for the ending. Such a creepy way to end it. They say, ignorant is a bliss but the manga is really satisfying to read.

(I'm French, so I'm sorry if I make spelling or syntax errors)

/This review presents mini spoilers, but nothing crucial/

I have seen that on MAL, King's Game is generally not very appreciated with low averages. I recognise the flaws in the series, but I can't help but like it. This season is my favourite, and I will try to explain why.

At first I was reluctant to start King's Game Extreme. I was afraid that we would start from scratch, without having retained any connection to the game of the first season. I figured we'd gone back for a new game with new students and it wasn't worth reading this because we'd be going in circles. I did well to start the first chapter : my reticence was very quickly swept away. What was not my surprise when I saw our dear Nobuaki (he was not announced on the manga). To better understand what he was doing there, I went to read the end of the first novel (original version) which is much clearer and more logical than the one in the manga of the first part. In short, I was very happy to see him, and, at the same time, I was sad for him because his presence meant that he was going to undergo a King's Game again.

In this season, Nobuaki is not the same. Traumatised by the appalling events of seven months ago, he seems dead inside. Tired and frightened, he has nevertheless decided to go back to high school. However, he is unable to bond with his classmates for fear of becoming attached to them and losing them as he did with those close to him (notably Chiemi and Naoya). He will end up participating in a sporting event with his class. Just as he was beginning to calm down, the King chose this moment to reappear. The timing is really raging, but it was predictable.

Readers' relationship with survival games is always very strange. On the one hand, we find it horrible (I suppose), on the other hand, we read the manga exactly because we like it. It's ambivalent. Here, I felt the same ; although I really hated the characters at the beginning for a reason I can't reveal (spoil). In the end, some of them turned out to be touching and strong.

As in the previous season, the King's Game pushes its players to the limit and they are capable of anything. You discover the "real face" of people when they are cornered. However, it's not only that that makes this game particularly crispy. First of all, with a survivor in the group, it can't start in the same way as in the first season when nobody knew about the King's Game. But that's not all ! Nobuaki isn't the only one with experience : another person related to the game is among his classmates (I'm going to call him AS to avoid spoiler).

Nobuaki and AS think in diametrically opposite ways. One doesn't really care about life anymore, while the other is willing to do anything to survive (literally). AS will be the monster of this season and we will see the opposition of two ideologies that will lead to a more general question. As a result, the other participants seem less interesting and more vulnerable... Except that some will nevertheless manage to surprise. Unfortunately, not all characters will necessarily find a place in the manga. Many will die without being really known, but, on the other hand, those who stand out from the crowd will be courageous and surprising.

Several themes are discussed. The range of emotions and feelings is wide, showing above all the dark side of human wealth. Everyone will approach the game in their own way. Beyond the fact that it exacerbates the bad in people, the King also helps to strengthen the bonds between them and even to create them (as will be seen).

The manga gets to the heart of the matter very quickly. We understand from the beginning why the game is qualified as extreme : the King has evolved. He proceeds in a different way. At first, he goes wild as if he wanted to go through a first stage, but later he will settle down to a more decent rhythm. The players seem to be guinea pigs in addition to being victims.
The suspense and the twists are very present. Personally, I devoured the volumes.

I found that the secondary characters played more important roles than in the first season where only some of them stood out. The story is not only about Nobuaki, who will not necessarily be the most active. Besides, if you didn't like him in the first season, I think you'll like him more in this one. Far from the smiling boy motivated to protect his loved ones, we see him down and locked in denial. He is still looking for a way to save everyone although he will have behavioural phases that will show the darkness of his thoughts. I think that what will push him not to give up is the presence of AS which he considers dangerous and malevolent to others and the research he still has to carry out on the village of Yonaki. However, he doesn't care about his own survival and is willing to sacrifice himself.
Conversely, AS wants to survive at any price. After reading season 4, we understand better its sometimes intriguing reactions.

To conclude, this season 2 knows how to captivate us (in any case it worked on me).
The drawings have a different style because it's no longer Renda Hitori. This marks a distance from the first season and I like the effect it gives.
The development of the characters is not really the strong point of the series, but it didn't spoil my pleasure. On the other hand, if what interests you is only the mystery around the King, it's not in this season that you'll get big answers. In fact, we will collect a few more clues and we will have some more explanations about its nature and how it works, but it's not as complete as in season 3 which reveals everything from the start.
If you liked the first season and the delirium of the series, go ahead and read on ! The game is just as captivating. Sometimes it's a bit exaggerated, but that's the style of King's Game.
Maybe I liked the manga too much compared to what is proposed. I don't know. In any case, the five volumes are well arranged in my library and they will stay there.

For 5 chapters I was sort of expecting a nice short story about love or a comedy of sorts, but instead I got a short, quick, forgetful story about a girl who wants to sing in a band and finding her first gig.

Story: Honestly, it's not memorable. It's just a cliche story about a girl who wants to join a band and then forming one. In 5 chapters it all goes down quickly, and you get to know each member well enough to know their character. Not bad, but not great either. Just in the middle.

Art: The art is very different. Front facial shots are done very well but other drawn scenes can be sloppy. But this is the same guy who wrote Orange, so I'm not surprised, its just a different style of art. It's easy to get used to, but it doesn't forgive him of some really weird shots.

Character: Classic "bad guy is good guy". I read the story 2 nights ago and don't remember much from it, so that should tell you everything.
