Monster review
The best thriller I've ever seen out of ALL form of media.

This is one of the few series I would rate a masterpiece.

Before you continue you reading, if you go into this expecting too much, you'll be disappointed. You need to see it as it is, and find somewhere in the middle of expectations. I feel as if my enjoyment level was effected a little bit, due to being so highly praised, but once I gave it some thought, it still is a brilliant and masterful piece.

It's not you're typical manga, there's no superpower, supernatural, or overly depressing life stories with this one. This honestly feels like an American made TV show. It's very eerie, and very suspenseful. It is definitely worth your every penny. (Please, purchase if you are going to read it. Support this brilliant Author/Mangaka "Naoki Urasawa".)

It's also worth your full attention; as there is so many characters introduced, with meaning. Even the smallest character you meet, effects the story and might even show up 10+ volumes in after only seeing him in the first couple.

It's a story about this neurosurgeon "Dr. Tenma" whose faced with the choice to save the mayor, and get a promotion, or choose a young boy, who came in before the mayor, and get a demotion/never be promoted again. Either way, one of them dies.

Well, he chooses the boy feeling emotional, and saves his life. Thus getting demoted of Lead Neurosurgeon, and never going anywhere with his career again. But, a couple days later, everyone in power of keeping Dr. Tenma from his rightfully deserved position, dies. and Tenma is then promoted. Naturally, the investigators suspect Tenma.

Now, if you don't want spoilers to who the killer is, don't read any further. Personally, I would recommend stopping here, and reading it yourself. (Even though they tell you who the killer is in the first volume)

The killer... is the boy Tenma saved. He finds out 10 years later, after all these strange murders are taken place, the killer then tries to kill one of Tenma's patients, to which the killer revealed himself to Tenma. So, Tenma sets out on a journey to kill this MONSTER, this Devil... and it's just... An amazing story.

Overall I give it a 10/10, perfectly done. The ending was a little anti-climactic for most, but personally I think it was very well done. The story was never meant to end is a super, climactic battle between the two. But that last page... Ughhghh it gave me shivers. 10/10, can't say it enough.

Please, read this masterpiece. Purchase this masterpiece and support the series. But, like I said, don't go into it expecting TOO much. Just, read it. Stop reading reviews, stop watching videos. Just READ it.

Houseki no Kuni review
This is a review up to chapter 36, because that's all I've read.

This manga is very interesting. No not interesting because it grabs your attention, but it makes me want to talk about it so much.

Let's start with the art. Although the basic art style is not anything insane, the dark shading and unique character designs are really the main highlights of this manga. Characters look unique, and most of thin and tall, often many of them have very feminine traits, like long hair, smaller hands and longer fingers, as well as more refined and smooth eyes. This adds a layer to the manga, that I have not seen before really, it makes the experience more mind-bending and interesting for the audience. The art sets the mood of a mysterious, unknown world, as secrets are being uncovered every chapter.

The characters are fine in my opinion. The protagonist is going through some pretty good development, and his relationship and chemistry with cinnibar is contradicting and has potential to lead to an interesting development and climax. Most of the side characters don't get enough depth for me to say that they're great, but I'm sure that will change as I read more of the manga. (also ghost quartz is kinda hot if you know what I mean).

The plot is well-written and paced, the information that we receive doesn't feel like it's coming at us at one time, nor does it rely on flashback moments to convey important information. Right now, it's more like a mystery uncovering plot, where the protagonist has to piece together little bits of information to get to the truth. Nothing too much to say here. I do want to add that the plot amour in this is very minimal, so that's a plus.


Overall, there's nothing to complain about. And I know that this is just the first 36 chapters, but trust me, it's really good, and I definitely recommend this to you if you haven't read it already. In my opinion, this would probably become the new gen evangelion or madoka magica, which means it'll probably be my favorite new gen soon.

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou review
YKK is a manga that revolves around a female robot named Alpha who lives in a far-fetched, but peaceful japan. To start off, YKK was a 90s manga, so a lot of the clothes style and technology are 90s and surprisingly haven't changed much over it's 12 years run. The plot is simple, Alpha a robot who runs cafe and gets occasional customers, and seems to live life in the moment. Some people dropped YKK because they didn't find the story engaging enough or it was too boring. Personally I think that YKK is a soothing, very laid-back and has a nostalgic feel with mysterious undertones. I don't think the manga is necessarily boring but rather slow-paced. Each story, or chapter is very short at about 15 to 20 pages, with little to no dialogue at times, which makes reading very easy. But what really makes YKK special is a the calming art style and the dialogue feel like a mix of a novelistic and poetic words. The art is very detailed from the interior of the cafe to the waves of the sea, plus every volume has a colored chapter to read. The characters are lively and 'slice of life' like, for example, as you read you in the perspective of Alpha, she watches over Takahiro and Makki like a guardian. Through the years that YKK was serialized characters actually age, and because Alpha is a robot she doesn't age, instead she watches as Takahiro and Makki become teenagers, and adults right before her eyes. In YKK there are a lot of questions left when manga ends like why are there so few male robots, what is the purpose of robots, and how the world became peaceful (possibly post-apocalyptic) and such. Overall YKK is one of a kind, a beloved manga by many and is one of my favorites of all time.

Akira review
You know that feeling, when you start doing something, and can't get enough of it??
Well I had that feeling while reading Akira.
I bought it from a local manga shop, not expecting anything special.
As I started reading it, I found myself sucked into the story.
As it starts, the story is filled with mysteries, confusing things, and secrets that you just can't wait to uncover. And as you finish chapter by chapter, you finally get to unlock few secrets, but new bunch of them shows from nowhere.
So it's pushing you to keep reading, until you finish it completely.

The art isn't something revolutionary, but it's still pretty good. It doesn't have "chibi" drawings and scenes, and it keeps serious note throughout the whole manga. While the characters are talking, and not doing anything important for the story(like getting to know each other etc...), the art is pretty standard. Nothing special, and with not too much details. But when it comes to big explosive scenes, gunfights, running, jumping, and just staying alive scenes, that's where Katsuhiro shows his best. The drawings become so vivid, and details just blows you off.
You'd just stop with reading, and admire the awesomnest of the explosion, for example.
So, it's like Katsuhiro is saving power for scenes like these.

The characters are really something special. Not until the end, you know who's on who's side.
It's really well done. For example, you never learn everything you want about Akira, and when you close the last page of manga, you're searching for some other pages that maybe fell off, because you can't belive that it's finished, with you still not getting bunch of stuff.

But that's the stuff about this manga. Even though it explains most of the intriguing stuff to sattisfy part of your curiosity, you still want more, and you're left to think about the end, and characters, and story overall. And you're just thinking, "what the hell did just happen"

I really enjoyed this manga, and it's my favorite(even though I didn't read much).
If you consider yourself a manga lover, this is a must read for you.
It's must read for anybody that ever held a manga in his/her hands.
And I'm not just saying. This is something really special, and I bet my hand that you're gonna love it.

Enjoy.

SS Review – The Green Eyes
(Short and Sour)

Well…it seems I have the pleasure of finding this manga when no one else has, as well as the pleasure of being the first to review it. How unlucky are you right now :D

You’ll have to bear with me, it’s been a while since I’ve read this. Let’s dive right in. The story centre’s around a man who lives in the uncharted area of the amazon rain forest, a crew of archaeologists learn about a type of mutagen which was originally being transported via plane. Unfortunately that plane crashed while going over the amazon rain forest in an uncharted territory thus the mutagen was lost forever…or was it? The crew I was talking about decide to enter the uncharted part of the forest to find said mutagen and recover it. But will it be that easy? They soon find out that the mutagen has had an effect on the forest and things are very different from what they expect…

Okay that’s pretty much a summary without really spoiling anything. Art is stunning, reminds me of a mix between Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and Fist of the North Star. How the story and events play out make me think of Jojo, so if you’re a fan of Jojo you’ll more than likely enjoy reading this. Kouji Maki has some other works that I plan to read at some point, he’s a pretty unknown author. Most of his manga’s no one has heard of. I love the main character, he reminds me of a Joestar. The right amount of cockiness and flare that a Joestar has, the fights are really good as well. Some of the two page spreads are stunning with the kind of detail you’d expect from someone like Kentarou Miura. I don’t know what else to say, I love this series, unfortunately what holds it back is the fact that it’s so short. You can clearly see this was axed from the magazine, but I can see the potential of it being great. Clearly something the editors at the Weekly Shounen Jump didn’t see.

So the only thing that holds it back for me is the chapter count, wish it was longer. But I enjoyed it and if you like Jojo or shounen manga’s that are a bit gorier than the standard then you will too.

7/10

(Also this series is available in English fully on Comixology if you’re interested in reading it)

Fate review
(I happen to write really long reviews; sorry about that ^^;;)
In the sea of manga, manhwa, comics....there are bound to gems hidden for one reason or another.
Some just didn't get exposure or they fail to catch potential readers because of mangaka/manhwaga's lack of experience at the time they started. This particular title is a real hidden gem, but unfortunately it has lots of strikes against it.
In fact, the manhwaga herself wishes she could edit the beginning. There is no wonder in why she feels it and why I feel it.

The story begins with one of the biggest cliches of the world: arranged marriage spiced with the usual comedy antics and unpolished art that speaks clearly that she is new to the business.
However, once it starts showing its true colors, the very thing that was against the series actually helps it.

It is quite a feat for someone to come up with such complex story at an early age, polish it, and eventually create a wonderful work by the end. It shows a lot of talent in this author. It's one of the most well done stories with reincarnation and fate as the central theme without becoming way too over dramatic like some series.


Story:
It starts innocent enough, just another arranged marriage. Oh yay. Then weird things start happening. At first it's just dreams, but as time passes encounters, nostalgic feelings, and other strange sensations makes us readers and the characters, realize that their fates are entangled in something big, something from the distant past that still haunts them to this day.

It's a well crafted, heartbreaking story about the different kinds of love that breaks the boundaries of life and death.

A side story, which also serves as a sort of epilogue as well shedding light to a untold event that is only lightly mentioned in the main story. In someways that side story is better than the main story and it's worth reading the whole thing for that alone. (Admittedly, the character of the Mother happens to my favorite character, but it really is well done.)


Character:
The main characters are well developed. Shin-Young is of course distressed as any other girl in her situation but instead of whining, she demands. She's stoic and stubborn, often displaying courage when other girls would be scared. Although it's not as a great thing as a compliment as it once was, but considering this is quite an old work, I should think it was at the time. Ji-Hoo is an idiot. A popular, handsome playboy but still an idiot. It's funny to read about him than some jerk or sadistic king. In some ways the roles are reversed, and that's one of themes of the work. (Expect a lot of gender bending and such.)
It is not that weird that my favorite character is the Mother. She is one of the most complex characters in the story, who had seemed like a minor character at first. Oh, the limits she would go over for love.

Art:
It's inconsistent and amateurish at times but it improves with time and eventually develops into a style I really like. it's sad people will drop it because of the art, but it's unavoidable.

Enjoyment:
This kind of story was what I was looking for when it comes to fate and rebirth, and it hits them on the right spots for me. It was very interesting to see how things came together, and who's who. The tragic story aims at your heart, making you feel pity rather than hatred toward the characters.

Overall:
I doubt there will be interest in this project long enough for people see what the story really is, (the scanlation group that had picked it up didn't release another chapter for a long time) but if you can read Korean, I do recommend you check this out. For others, well I hope maybe one day someone will license it.

Blood Soul review
(RU-bu)

Vampires; Unfortunately writers have not been kind to our sharp toothed and blood thirsty friends, as they are constantly subject to antagonism, animosity, resentment and moral bias in most franchises that they appear in, Blood soul is no exception.

Naoyuki Fujisawa’s manga takes place in a world where both humans and demons exist, with the humans living in constant fear of the demons, to their salvation comes the Van Hellsing church, an order who prioritizes its main job as the ‘purification’ of demons with the ambition of one day creating an all human world. Our protagonist here is Red, a fallen vampire lord out for blood after losing his powers several years ago.

Despite its attempt to be something new, bloodsoul unfortunately ends up bringing nothing new to the table, it in fact took several chapters from the ‘how to make a manga story’ textbook. We have our protagonist who has a unique or special ability with revenge as his main motive, all brawn no brain, and even makes use of a sword (fang) as his weapon in an age where machinery is highly developed. His personality is rash as expected and most enemies serve as nothing more than gore fests.

The art is also fairly generic along with the character design, nothing really much to add. The panels however were nicely detailed; combat was extremely easy to follow as each panel immediately followed the next action seamlessly. Despite its short length it still managed to show a little background on the protagonist but this was only as to show his reason for revenge which goes without saying as it is the story’s driving force.

If 6 episodes is a small length for an anime then you can only imagine what 6 chapters of a manga can be interpreted as. Given the short length though it really could have aimed higher, the poor story and characterization becomes its biggest letdowns along the way with the author going for gore as a fail-safe plan to draw attention. Ultimately it isn’t a complete waste of time but the cliché atmosphere makes it something that can easily be forgotten but given its short length it serves as a decent quick read on the bus coming home from work.
