SHOUNEN SHOUJO 18 KIN review
This manga is qui-
Well, that's how it felt for me. The manga started and ended, with hardly anything inbetween. There are only 3 chapters - it probably got cancelled because of not enough popularity. Which is a shame, because the series had some potential and could be a pretty nice romatic comedy...

Gisou Honey Trap review
It starts as a typical story, guy made childhood promise that he forgot and is forced to live with people who expected him to follow through. It also ends pretty predictable with parent consent and everyone accepting everything including side characters. At some point in the middle, though, it goes to crazy places of the yandere kind, also a trap.
In any case it's a variant of the typical imouto story. If you like the art go for it, it's short and it has a complete ending with epilogues and everything; but if it looks too much like a beginner trying to draw like anime then you're not missing anything if you step away.

Jisatsu Circle review
RED Dizziness by radiantfire Context: For this review, I'll be analysing Jisatsu Circle by Usamaru Furuya. The concept of the series comes from a movie bearing the same title. While not a direct adaptation, it nonetheless comprises of the same elements: troubled children and suicide. Story: The suicidal dive of 54 schoolgirls at Shinjuku station is one of the most memorable opening sequences in any manga I have read. Gruesome and deeply biting, the opening jump alone sets what is profoundly a scary commentary on the state of Japanese contemporary society. It is on this note that Jisatsu Circle introduces one of the most disturbing stories I have ever experienced. Art: The horror theme of the manga is heavily accentuated by the art. Characters are drawn pragmatically, bodies are realistically ripped apart, and moods and emotions are easily conveyed through facial expressions. The odd styling of Furuya gives the series a strong grotesque frame of reference. Character: Saya is demented. All the girls in the club are demented. They mentally and physically break themselves down in order to gain a sense of happiness which is found, scarily enough, in their deaths. They are, in all sagacity, the fundamental source of horror in the series. Through them, Furuya highlights the importance and the profound fragility of life. Enjoyment: The series brought me a strange kind of experience. Although I was intensely engrossed by the story, I strongly felt a sensation of fragility. In all honesty, I have not read anything like it before. It brought me, what can be best described as, a bitter-sweet enjoyment. Conclusion Jisatsu Circle provides a terrifying and disturbing volume on Japanese contemporary society. It leaves us to question the very state of their world but also, our own mental states. A sickening and deeply depressing piece of horror, Jisatsu Circle is not one for the faint of heart.

Sensei no Shiroi Uso review
The other reviewers are forgetting that this story goes on in Japan, a place where people are taught to never question the status quo and women are taught to just nod off stuff and smile.
It starts with a (very traumatized) Hara saying absurdly dichotomic statements, just in regards to how scarred and hopeless she is at the begining of the manga. The story goes on to show how she's been affected by being raped and controlled by Hayafuji, how she perceives herself as the culprit and not the actual victim, all while showing the progression of the ones around her. This is a manga about trauma, about rape, about the feeling of total desperation and feeling like there's nothing that can save you. It's about how far we can go when we're desperate (like Misato or Reina), but also how we freeze in those same situations. In the end, she's finally able to start building her happiness with Niizuma, start a new job and regain her own self.

Gakuen Densetsu: Hasami Onna review
Gakuen Densetsu: Hasami Onna is a very fun and creepy little collection of japanese ghost stories . Ive never heard of Hana Umeno before , but this really peeked my interest . The art direction on the characters can be both absolutely lovely and appropriatly messed up . However it does lose points for a few lackluster moments wich I wont spoil . All 4 stories have easily identifiable characters and all almost all of them have a fairly creative set up . I will say that the first and the last story arent the most imaginative but have some very shining moments (
Expecially the last one ) . One thing that can be said about 3/4 stories is the fact that the endings are just like out of a classic 80s-90s horror film (To-mo-da-chi expecially ) . Overall Hana really seems to understrand how to make the kind of fun-loving horror stories wich always seem to leave the reader on a positive mood (even if the stories are fairly grim) .

Dragon Who review
When you see the title 'Dragon Who' I'm sure most people will be reminded of the old school Japanese manga series 'Dragon Ball'. I hope it doesn't make you put on a pair of expectation glasses because this series is quite different.
The cover reflects the ability of the artist well. I gotta say 'WTH' because her(Kim Ju-ri) art style is so different compare to her oldest work 'Sweety' and the her second one ''Cyber Angel'. She seems to be capable of doing various art styles...hmm. Also there are two authors(Ha Yuhn &Jung Jae-Ran) for this series and they are both females too. Interesting, this manhwa is serialized in manhwa/manga magazine targeted for young males. I like this series, especially the main protagonist, Roa, is an innocent and pure guy. He's smart yet has quite hard to getting used to unfamiliar human world. (I laughed so hard when he was on the bus.) Question... HOW OLD IS HE??? The Grannys are like 400 right?? Anyway His pure focus is on his noble mission that has the world at stake. So-ahn is a little deviant. She seems to have been raised quite spoiled with 3 big brothers. In the other hand, she's the first human to give Roa a hand when he first arrives to the human world and that's shows some significance between those two. She doesn't think as badly as other girls do about Roa after misunderstandings too(maybe cause she doesn't feel Roa as a guy to her yet lol). Now, about the noble mission, the manhwa hasn't given us enough information yet due to the fact only 1 volume is out. The 3 Grannys mentions 'that day' can be brought through Roa finding the girl, and the Espana people seems to be against it. (Both forces seems to be trying to protect the world in their own way) The way this flows is pretty fast, you have to pay attention to absorb all details regarding the conflict between the dragons and Espana. Story seems to be moving fast for now, which I really don't mind. Story is still unraveling. There are many questions unanswered. I'm definitely going to keep reading this. I just hope it gets an ending instead of getting discontinued. (BUT PLEASE NO DON'T DRAG ON)

Senken no Majutsushi to Yobareta Kenshi review
the story is basically a man who doesn't know where he came from and wants to meet more people like him and halfway there
he finds twin sisters who are considered taboo in society as daughters of the devil, the man decides to hide them with him there is not much improvement in the history during the work note 6 i hate the limit of review in MAL, pleaseignore the text below In telecommunications, 6G will be the sixth generation standard for wireless communications technologies supporting cellular data networks. It is the planned successor to 5G and will be likely to be significantly faster, at speeds of ~95 Gb/s. Like its predecessors, 6G networks will be broadband cellular networks, in which the service area is divided into small geographical areas called cells. Several companies (i.e. Nokia, Samsung, LG) have shown interest in 6G. China, South Korea and Japan also reportedly have interest. 6G will likely become commercially available in the 2030

Kaikisen review
I'm usually a big fan of Satoshi Kon. Some of my favourite movies are his own creations, Paprika and Tokyo Godfathers being prime examples, and I adore his artwork. Kaikisen--or its English 'Tropic of the Sea'--is itself beautiful on paper, yet falls short while trying to convey something significant beyond the pages.
On the surface, Kon divulges a potentially profound story of a seaside town at risk of being commercialized while trying to maintain the tradition of keeping safe a mystical mermaid's egg gifted to them once every sixty years. In exchange for such care, the mer-people bless the village with warm weather and safety all year round. Still relevant to Japan to this day, the conflict of modernization and tradition is a significant debate always interesting to explore and see integrated into a manga narrative. Sadly, the story falls flat and fails to explore anything further about the characters themselves beyond their very evident cliches. The protagonist himself is the antithesis of complex and the villain almost painfully predictable. I hate to be so down on something of Kon's, but I admittedly forgot most of the story after I finished reading it. The art is beautiful but I personally feel Kon could've done a lot more with this material.

Koharubiyori review
One of the advantages of reviewing manga, is that I often have the pleasure of reading some very, very good stories. However, occasionally my select-at-random-and-read method fails dismally and I end up stuck with a very, very bad manga. The one advantage, in this case, is that this is probably the easiest review I’ve yet had to write, although I might yet need counseling to get over the trauma of being confronted with such drivel.
Simply put, this little piece of nastiness is everything Chobits could have been, but mercifully wasn’t, thanks to the wonderful people at CLAMP having… well, a brain for starters. Mizuki has taken (Stolen? Copied?) a similar concept (not to mention borrowing liberally from he is My Master too) and wrung every last ounce of humour, storyline, artwork and dare I say taste, out of it, leaving behind a withered husk of an excuse for a manga, that is neither funny, nor sexy, nor even remotely worth reading beyond the first few pages. Even within those, I found the main character’s obsession with dress-up dolls went beyond creepy. If it’s even vaguely autobiographical, then we’re dealing with a very strange individual here… Avoid. As if your life depends on it.
