Aoi Tori: Wakuraba review
Takashi Murakami is capable of convey feelings and emotions through his work at the same level as the great Jiro Taniguchi.
After a car accident, a husband stays in vegetative state so the mother has to raise her son solo. In a way that reminds the plot from Ōkami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki, Murakami makes the story feels more realistic since he is an artist of manga of manners. The development of the lonely mother and how she find strenght in her loved relatives to keep going and carry on her pain. The art is nothing spectacular but it does not matter since the important is in the story and what it makes you ponder. Aoi Tori makes us approach sad events like death and ilness. That's the reason this bittersweet manga is recommend for adults or people who have lost relatives.

08:05 NO HENGAO-SAN review
Short, weird, cute
Story: 7/10 Weird plot, I feel like it landed itself really well to the 17-page format, extending it further would only be detrimental Art: 6/10 Cute, could be cutter. Well done and satisfactory Character: 7/10 OK, obviously the characters don't get much development in 17 pages, but still they feel like real people, they manage to express their backstory in the way they act, and not in by saying it. Overall (7/10) Short, weird and cute. There is not much more to say, it is really short so i recommend you give it a try. ..................................................................................................................................

Kyonyuu Dragon review
"sometimes watching trash can be fun too"
-Dirty Pair No need for much of introduction. This is manga about strippers with various gimmicks fighting zombies and zombie strippers. You get exactly what you see. It's a short, very trashy story with lots of tits and violence. The art is reasonably decent enough to bring out both key elements of this subtle work. The manga doesn't really take itself seriously which works in its favor. Ending is abrupt but this is not the kind of manga you'd want to expand on the plot. If you're bored and want to read something trashy, why not give it a shot? The thing is only one a 20-30 minute read.

Battle Royale II: Blitz Royale review
Battle Royale 1 is one of my favorite movies and one of my favorite manga. I heard that people didn't like Battle Royale 2: Blitz Royale because of the artwork, so I decided to give it a try knowing that I'd have to ignore the artwork and look past it to the story.
It didn't help. There is no maturity to this story. In fact, there is almost no story what-so-ever. The characters are one dimensional, and the relationships between the characters are practically non-existent. The setting is below average at best, and has little-to-no description. And as mentioned before, the artwork is terrible. Everything good about Battle Royale 1 is missing from Battle Royale 2: Blitz Royale. Seriously, don't waste your time.

Pumpkin Night review
Story: 1
Art: 5 Character: 2 Enjoyment: 1 OVerall: 2 This is torture porn. Well, ther'es no porn, but ton of torture. The manga is about a crazy killer running around murdering people in most cruel way possible. All of it is depicted directly. The artist is skilled, I can give him that, but the story basically revolves around endless onscreen mutilation, dismemberment, torture, cruelty, etc. with every tiny bits of torn gore depicted as accurately as possible. The story weakly attempts to justify such behavior, but this is not noteworthy. Basically.... avoid. The level of gore is extreme, the manga attempts to throw people's guts at your face in order to shock you, and story is nearly non-existent. So the best idea is to avoid it.

Virgin Blood: Hiiro no Bansan review
I understand that forbidden love is attractive, but I was a little uncomfortable with the slight incest. Granted, the two lovers were not related by blood, but he is her father, the one who changed her diapers! The age gap is negligible because he's a vampire, but I am still perturbed by it. Mimiko was always feeling fluttery after her father touched her, yet mentally slapped herself for thinking of loving her father in another way. And suddenly things changed even more for the worse when she realized what exactly she was raised for: a virgin blood sacrifice for a bunch of vampires. Yeah, the
plot seems to throw things at you without warning.
To be honest, what little I liked about the romance was each gesture. Smoothing back her hair, touching her lips, patting her shoulder. Little things like that made a big difference to Mimiko and I myself would be thrilled with such attentions. But again, the somewhat forbidden love between an adopted daughter and her father plus the forbidden love between a human and a vampire blew things way out of proportion and made the manga less enjoyable. The reasons for their love not working out were briefly explained and tossed into the story without much thought. I know shoujo manga always ends happily, but it was just too obvious that it would be like that given the way the story was executed. Ah, about Mimiko and her father. They are typical characters to shoujo and I really mean that. Mimiko is the cute and innocent girl discovering romantic feelings for the first time, and her father is the cute guy who catches every woman's attention with a smile, a nice man. I neither dislike them or like them. The selling point of the manga would have to be its art. While it isn't the most beautiful I've seen, the men are gorgeous and the girls are cute. I especially love the way the cafe at Mimiko's place is designed, and school uniforms are crisp. A few backgrounds are prettily drawn and you can see luxury and beauty in different places. Pleasing enough to the eyes even if the story isn't much good. Hmmm. I can't say this manga was something I was eager to read, but neither was it painful. There were no parts where I was super amused, save a little bit of the beginning, but that was it. Once the ending came near and was super predictable, it became bland. I would not recommend this to anyone, to be honest. It isn't because it's that terrible, but because I see it has nothing special to talk about.

13 Club review
From the time we're born, humans are fascinated by mysteries. As babies everything is a mystery to us, and we become curious. Because of that, as our brains develop we seek to find the answers to the mysteries we could not understand as babies. As we mature and grow older, we are each faced with a mystery that we want to solve no matter what. Can I be a good parent? Why am I alive? Is there any other life in the universe? Some of these mysteries we can find answers to, others we cannot. But every human is constantly trying to solve some sort
of mystery, rather they realize it or not. That is why the mystery genre is one of my favorite. It taps into one of our most base desires as human beings. The desire to not only solve, but understand, mysteries.
13 Club is centered around mysteries. Sometimes these mysteries are solved, sometimes they are simply archived by our recurring character, Kudan. Luckily, they are always fascinating. From the first mystery I was hooked. While not always original, the mysteries are structured in such a way that they feel unique. The manga is not linear, and each mystery is separate from the others. The final mystery was weaker than all the rest, and raised some questions that weren't worth raising in the final chapter. The only thing that all the mysteries share in common is Kudan, the owner of the 13 Club website. Kudan is an interesting character. While he is fascinated with, and at times at the heart of, numerous mysteries, he himself is perhaps the biggest mystery in the manga. We don't know who he is, why he is fascinated with mysteries, how he met his assistant, or anything else for that matter. We don't learn much about his assistant either, but to me I felt that rather than being a mystery, she was an unnecessary character. The one off characters that were contained in each story segment were almost always interesting, with a few being weaker than others. Despite the backgrounds being rather simple (which, let's face it, is pretty common in manga) the art was well done. The character designs were good, and all of the artwork was sharp, clean, and up to snuff with today's standards. If you are a fan of the mystery genre, this manga won't disappoint. It is an exciting ride through the mystery that is the human psyche, and is presented in such a way that it's hard to feel lost or bored for even a moment. Once this sinks its teeth into you, it won't let go. It has some character and story issues depending on which mystery you're reading, but it scratches the mystery loving itch that we humans are born with. If you aren't a fan of mystery.... well, you are lying to yourself, so get reading.

Chimoguri Ringo to Kingyobachi Otoko review
Is it even possible to make a manga about blood-diving girls and a serial killer with a fishbowl for a head boring? Apparently, yes. You just need to never move past the concept. Basically, after you have seen the MAL page for this manga, you have seen it all. Here, you can add it to your Completed list now.
I understand that you don’t believe me, I also wanted it to be a lost gem. And, I guess, fans could easily offer counterarguments. After all there’re clever things in this manga, like using a pervert, whose nose bleeds when he sees a girl in a swimsuit, to summon the fishbowl man (he reacts to blood near water), or most of blooddiver stuff being inspired by pool and near-pool activities. There’re fun random details, like one of the policemen who always arrest the blooddiver girl having eyepatches on both of his eyes, or a giant girl studying in the same class as the main character. But details don't really help, when the plot of this manga is basically “something happens and there’s also goldfish”. If you look past the surreal glitter, nothing moves ahead – the characters gather stuff, then lose it, then recollect it, then lose it. There’s about one meaningful event that happens out of nowhere closer to the end. But you don’t feel involved, because you never learn the rules of their world – it neither becomes magically realistic, nor gets completely surreal, staying in the limbo of superficial fluff. You don’t feel any tension, the manga is goodnatured, so it’s obvious that nothing will happen. Even the scenes that happen “inside blood” are rather boring, I've seen much better symbolic worlds in this meduim. The characters are cardboard cut-outs, even if relatively nice, the few motivations that are given being your standard shounen placeholders, like “I wanna get better”, “I wanna save”, “ I am a perv”. The fishbowl man is by far the most interesting, but, sadly, he isn’t developed at all. The art is bound to be divisive. It combines realistic, often very detailed backgrounds and highly stylized cutesy (almost chibi-style) characters (except for the fishbowl man, he looks like Slenderman). I like that the art has a lot of personality, and some of the situations and object make for striking individual panels, but cuteness sort of replaces characterization, which I hate, and the author, sadly, lacks the gift for cinematography, so the panelwork is rather bland. The publication includes a couple of shorts, and I like them much more than the big story. Maybe it’s because for them developing the unusual premise is a non-issue, but "Kappa's Dinner Table" is also better at characterization, and "Hell", which is by far the best, has genuinely fun scenes and an actual punchline (and also a fapping skeleton). Right, I have a feeling that "Chimoguri Ringo to Kingyobachi Otoko" is also supposed to have fanservice. I say I am not sure, because the characters are cartoonish, and it’s far behind, compared to modern popular ecchi. It may work only for school swimsuits enthusiasts (this is a recurring topic in the manga itself). Actually, swimsuit fetishism is, probably, the closest "Chimoguri Ringo to Kingyobachi Otoko" comes to having energy. I can see the point in a world that plays with the combination of girls in dark-blue swimsuits, pools, water and lush hydrangeas in a rainy season. It might have been beautiful, too bad the manga doesn’t use well even the context of wetness – we don’t notice, when the characters are soaked and when not. "Chimoguri Ringo to Kingyobachi Otoko" doesn’t have an ending, the story is continued in "Shin Chimoguri Ringo to Kingyobachi Otoko", and the sequel does attempt to change the status quo, as it seems, it also has a lot more blooddiver girls. But here I evaluate the first half, so there’s that: it’s empty plot- and characterization-wise. Maybe this author’s style is not for me, but I can judge only based on my experience. So my verdict is: unless you really like girls in swimsuits (and if you do, I congratulate you, sir, on hitting a bingo and wish you a good fieldtrip this evening) or want some surreal pages to illustrate the range of imagination in manga (without much context), I don’t think it is really worth your time. The sequel has a recap too. Flip through "Chimoguri Ringo to Kingyobachi Otoko" or check out the shorts, reading though the actual chapters won’t be very enjoyable or fruitful. All in all, being happy that a manga with such a plot exist and seeing an example of the artstyle is as much as you’ll get from this.
