Attack on Titan is a colossal hit in the anime world. internationally. Also a lot of non-anime fans love it. Does it earn it's colossal praise? Yes, if you don't mind depressing politics mediocre to average art or ambigous morals. The story and world-building was great; I really liked how in-depth how the author provided factoids about how the 3dmg works, and how titans work. The realism on how the characters react to the horror the series presents. Many characters that seem archetypical (Armin, Sasha, Christa, Eren) are far more than just that, especially Christa, she built immensely as a character. Some problems of the series are the plentiful cliffhangers, sluggish pacing, and not that great art. Overall, Atrack on Titan is a solid series with a colossal bite.

This story is so good, I cant even think of how somebody could come up with this masterpiece. The characters make you question every moral you have, who is truely wrong in life? Its not who is bad its just how far you seperate "good" and how the herp isnt always who they turn out to be. The story has so many twist and turns its crazy. The art on the other hand isnt perfect at first, but it gets better and develops a better style in the recent chapters! I enjoyed it so much it was amazing, every moment had me in shock has I hoped and wished they wouldnt kill of a character. After the most recent chapter I was really sad. There is no way a person could creat that many tears (Spoilers I guess) I like how they arent afraid to kill even the main characters and go for jumps changing the whole story in a heart beat but not making the passing to bad.

DISCLAIMER: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is a currently ongoing series with (at the moment of writing), 7 complete parts and one ongoing one. It's important to first make the distinction that this is NOT one ongoing story split into parts, but rather 8 stories in the same universe following the Joestar bloodline, that share similar elements, plot points, and even motivations in some cases.
Due to that, this and my other JoJo reviews will follow an unique JoJo rating system, since in my opinion it cannot be easily compared to other manga, done in a beginner-friendly way so as to illustrate whether or not it is worth it to get invested in the series, and how it compares to other parts of it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a gap year following the last chapter of Stone Ocean, Araki puts out the newest JoJo part after the world reset in Stone Ocean, which is Steel Ball Run. It's often ranked as one of the best JoJo parts and honestly, I have to agree with that. It does away with everything that was bad, and doubles down on everything that was good, starting by giving it a full, proper story with a justification for the stand fights beyond "hired henchmen with stands".

That justification is a race across the United States for US$50.000.000.
Of course they'd fight with everything they got to get that prize.

Johnny Joestar is an amazingly complex protagonist. He starts off relatively similar to Jolyne in that he's a douchebag, but throughout the 24 volumes (a full 7 volumes more than the standard JoJo amount) he develops into the most human character in the series.
Gyro Zeppeli (once again, Joestar-Zeppeli dynamic similar to parts 1-2) is an equally amazing character, albeit far less complex. He serves not only as a rival, but also a mentor and ALSO as a comic relief during the brief moments of respite where Johnny and Gyro can rest during the race.

The art and style is outstanding, and miles above even Stone Ocean, which leads me to believe Araki used his gap year to hone his skills a bit further. It also has some of the best pin-up style covers.

This time, the "stand user of the week" formula is like previously stated, not intrusive at all, as these are merely other competitors in the race trying to get ahead for the 50m dollars. The battles are even more interesting than usual due to a few key facts:

1) The number of humanoid stands went down by a lot. Stands are now mostly abilities or objects with abilities. Way less punch ghosts.
2) Not only are there stands, there's also Spin, which is the new universe equivalent of the Ripple, albeit far more interesting and with far more use than simply breathing so hard you catch on fire.
3) Due to the fact that they're traversing an entire country, the amount of places to fight in and situations to be in are more diverse than ever, resulting in the most interesting matchups in JoJo history.


And of course, last but not least, we have the main villain, who is one of the (if not the) favorite for a lot of people. His motivations make complete sense to the point where I found myself questioning just how wrong he really was for doing what he did, considering unlike most previous villains, he seemed to have a genuine goal in mind that he wanted to achieve, complete with a method of how to achieve it.
The plot twists and the final fight are by far my favorite from all of JoJo. Not only because it encapsulates what makes the final fights so good, but because they take it a step further and make it interesting the whole way through, moving through different places and giving the chase a sense of urgency, complete with one final GIANT twist afterwards, resulting in a fight that spans almost eight whole volumes without ever feeling like it drags on. I would compare it to defeating Liquid Snake in MGS only to, a few minutes later, hear him proclaim IT'S NOT OVER YET as you fight one last time for your life.

This is, one of the best JoJo parts, and to me, it shares a spot with Diamond is Unbreakable as my favorite. The art is better than ever, there are no bad characters, everyone's motivations are sensible and heartfelt, and it's full of emotional moments, which is something that JoJo usually lacks.
It's by far the most complete, and the most satisfying to read through of the parts, and by the end of it, it's one of the few that manages to make you feel like you truly reached the end of an adventure alongside Johnny.

Maybe the best manga I've ever read. Inoue's ability to make you love what he loves is unparalleled. If you don't love basketball before reading this, you will at least understand what it is like to have a passion for something.

Every part of it is superb:
-The art is as expected from Inoue
-The action is well drawn and suited for the genre
-The comedy is genuine
-The story is emotive and captivating

The only thing that's a negative is having to wait for him to finish the work, but to put it a way that Nomiya would say, "This is not despair. This is joy!"

[NO SPOILERS]

Although I like writing long(ish) reviews, I'll keep it short with this one. Why? Because from what I've read so far, this LN doesn't deserve it.

Story 5 / 10
The concept of ラスボスの向こう側 (ラスボスのむこうがわ) [rasubosu no mukougawa] intrigued me somewhat. The idea of a main character playing the hidden final boss seemed interesting. The writing style wasn't god awful either yet it didn't appeal to me. I found the story lacking in depth as well.

Characters 3 / 10
Where this LN is lacking the most, however, is it's characters. The main character is dropped into another world. That's it... We don't explore his inner thoughts. And the ones he does have are bland and boring. The other characters aren't in any way interesting either.

Art 7 / 10
The art, though quite regular, is nothing to scoff at. It's good enough.

Enjoyment 4 / 10
It was a boring read and I wish I didn't read it at all. Don't waste your time on this one, you won't miss out on anything special. There are a lot better new releases about 異世界(いせかい) [Different World] stories out there.

Overall 3 / 10
I must say that I'm very disappointed with this LN. I kind of liked the concept of a final secret boss main character, but the writer failed to deliver. The only decent part about this LN is the art.

Thank you for reading and sorry for all the negativity! I prefer to write positive reviews :D

this is amazing i love it <3 this is a really really good book.

the people that hate it are retarded they only read 4 chapters.
chapter 14 is technically the begining of the actual plot.

so this website E.T.E. or ''enjoy the end'' is a weekly poll where users vote on a disaster whether thats earthquake,murders or personal attacks etc. but the users they dont know that the disaster is actually going to become true.on the other hand we have this old weirdos homeless looking creepy old men who seem to be the justice league kinda thing with superpower and so on.

Here is the catch though the protagonist is a female pornstar with antman powers.She saw one of the superheroes get in a car accident and he gave her the antman device.

what do you think? i actually like it a lot, i know that this will never get an anime or be dublicated by anyone the mcu would never allow that kind of thing ever and is so refreshing to be honest.

p.s. antman is my 4th fav superhero so i might be a little biased

Honestly? I enjoyed it. Now I do have to preface this with saying I eat anything involving Gantz up like it's home cooking. This spin-off definitely had potential to be an actual side story to Gantz if it was longer, but doing a short format story doesn't do the story the proper justice it deserves.

Issues:

First, it's much too short. Yes it's a spin off and wasn't meant for mass serialization, but due to that it doesn't give the characters enough time to REALLY develop like I know Oku is capable of doing. He has some pacing issues in his manga when they're not given a long run which is a shame. That's not to say I disliked all the characters in this, if anything I feel like the cast had fantastic potential. The hate respect relationship between Kurona and Ikegami would be really interesting to see developed over time, but it was sadly too rushed. Same with the unsuccessful idol, and the up and coming mangaka. I feel like the only character that was strong out the gate and had a solid arc, besides the two BROS who I would've loved to see more of, was Kaji. But all in all yeah my issues were that this was way too short.


Cool shit:

Aight first and foremost the Mermaid fight was great. Granted it being a 100 point fight again was slightly problematic due to the pacing and could've been much more intense if it was placed later on in a longer story. Regardless I find Okus ability to limitlessly create terrifying and fascinating aliens that defy our conception of life always blows me away; and his ability to make every fight feel like a desperate struggle between weak humans and monstrously powerful aliens. Also the art, as usual in Gantz, is solid as all hell.


Total? I think it's a soft 7, hard 6/10. I still recommend reading it if you love Gantz as much as I do and could eat up anything regarding it.

I apologize for any grammatical errors that may appear, but English is not my language.

Unlike subtitled, "Sexy and Stupid Water Polo Comedy!!", manga is not just a fap material, and the story is not only about Water Polo. It can be said that the story is about the maturing of the protagonist (lazy, unmotivated and gave up everything quickly), which after entering the Water Polo Club and fall in love, begin to find their motivation.
The story is not very deep, but it's nice, and greatly improves after the appearance of Hayami character, enhancing the story and rhythm.

And yeah, the ecchi factor is a strong point!

Story
The story is not bad but is kind of boring and unoriginal. It feels like the story jumps to quick from one point to another. I do like the way it is presented, with little dialogue and exposition.

Characters
I don't have any problem with the characters. There is no background for the characters that is shown to the reader but it doesn't feel like the characters don't have one or they have a bad one.

Art
By far the best thing in Abara. The action scenes are a bit hard to understand sometimes but no other problems. I would recommend you reading this for the art only.

Enjoyment
I have enjoyed this but I think that is mostly because I love Blame!(another manga done by the same author)

Overall
A very fast read(15-20 minutes) so you don't lose much even if you end up not enjoying the story.

Princesses: an epitome of nobility, kindness and purity...women loved to be them and men loved to be with them...

...or so Haru thought as he and 2 of his colleagues Natsumi and Touma are assigned to be princess Amano Terass's bodyguards.

Amanoiwato Hime is a gag manga which I found to be very amusing as, although the whole 'princess and her bodyguard story' have been played out in the past, to have it done comically in a manga(and done well) is new premise.

Amanoiwato Hime is prelude to the up-coming manga titled 'NEET Princess Terrass', so you may class this as a one-shot prologue broken into 6 chapters.

The characters are played out well and although you won't get as much development in 6 chapters, the prelude will give you insight to whats to come.

The art is ok for manga standards, but the story in itself is what will keep you reading for more. If your after something new to enjoy then I'm pretty sure Amanoiwato Hime will aim to please.

Now I just can't wait till the main story comes out!
