The fan base definitely over hype the manga, but many good things are enjoyable.

Story: 7
It started interesting with the main Character Eren trying to Kill all Titans to take revenge for his family's death, in the process he discovers he can turn into a Titan. Throughout the story, we discovered that there are as many as 9 shifters (shifters being people who can turn into Titans). After a time-skip many secrets behind the titans are revel.

now I like how the story proceeds until the time skip point, from that point on the story, goes downhill and I'm sure the author has a good reason to makes those changes but they were not appealing to me. And there are a few asspull that you don't see coming.

Art 10
The art was outstanding, very different and unique. It is very sketchy looking but the images have a great amount of detail. It captures the action of the characters very good, it doesn't feel stiff. Overall, I think the art style of Shingeki no Kyojin is suitable for the story to come to life.

Character 9

There are a few characters well written but the main character is not one, secondary Characters have a better reason to be part of the story and others just feel dry.

Enjoyment 8

while some chapters are interesting and make you want to read more, others are plain boring and confusing, its very hard to get into it at first because of the first volume it's just information and backstory but once the action scenes hit its very hooking.

overall 8

I feel like the story is overly hyped because there are better Plots in other Manga, but it's still very enjoyable and addictive.

This was a fantastic read. While it wasn't super fast-paced the story-telling of Urasawa managed to have me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire manga. I loved that all the characters, no matter how small they seemed, tied together to tell a masterpiece of a story in the end. This beautifully portrayed issues on morality in the tale of Tenma and Johan. The character development was wonderful for Eva, and I loved watching her grow as a character. Additionally, Johan has become one of my favorite villains in manga history because of this character's complexity. He is at first painted as just a black and white evil guy, but the lines between morality are blurred as we learn more about him.

I really wish I could rate this higher- it had a decent plot, and the artwork was absolutely stunning. However, I can't give it higher than a 7, because the manga didn't actually have an ending. It's a shame it ended at such a bad point, too- I really was looking forward to learning more about the characters, and seeing how the plot would progress. Don't read this unless you're prepared to be disappointed in the end. :(.

I do like gore in anime, especially when it makes contrast with the cuteness of the drawing. So i was captivated by the art of this manga and i started reading it. In the beginning it looked like an hidden gem.
They put effort in drawing it so i was looking forward to see how the story unravels...
Unfortunately after setting up the "rules" of the anime (this world, Japan, no magic...) the author started dis-attending them one by one.

Warning light spoilers ahead!

Is it a super hero anime? which super power has our antagonist? why after seriously hurting some people one time is punished and the second just get away with it like nothing happened?
Why a "can't miss" situation for our protagonist turns out a disaster for him? ah yes our antagonist, immobilized on the ground just deflected a direct hit with a knife and an object materialized in her hands (previously free). Magic? Telekinesis? This is just an example, the narrative issues are just too many, many situations just don't make any sense as they're narrated. And it's getting more absurd every chapter.

I expected more than "Everything make it do to show us some gore."

I'm so angry because the art is good. The author should have put more effort in the coherence of the story. Maybe later there will be explanations, for those who will continue reading... I'm not sure it's still worth my time.

Art from before the late 90's often seems oddly stunted to me now. I'm not sure how old this one dates back, but the character art turned me off completely! There is also little saving grace in this ordinary story of finding love next door after rejecting it at first due to some misunderstanding.

Anyway, resident peeping tom Ken is caught by Maki as she's taking bath, and is hence on treated like a leper. But he's annoyingly grown up to be a responsible son to his parent's cafe business and Maki is forced to resort to asking him for help with food and other trivialities when her parents are away. Suddenly, in close contact, she realises he's cute (because the cafe customers are throwing themselves at him obviously, just in case the reader needed prodding) and has changed his immature ways. Of course, there's a crisis because of her thoughtlessness which he helps her through to further prove his eligibility. I'm going to scream if you need help figuring out what happens next!

Some of the exchanged between Maki and her mother are funny and the mangaka knows her way around an array of expressions, but that doesn't mean it's visually appealing. Unless you're starved for some highly mediocre shoujo, you're better off skipping this one.

A One Shot that starts with a BANG!!!... but eventually looses its luster. That's probably the best way to sum it up. It's about a T-Rex trapped inside a Japanese high school girls body.

The Good:
The beginning is a wild roller coaster ride that will keep the reader interested for a while.
Funny characters and situations.
Unique story.
Decent artwork.

The Bad:
The layout of the drawings become more and more chaotic.
Becomes hard to follow halfway along the story.
The pacing is unbalanced, it starts from fast to faster to unbearably fast.
Lots of low brow humor (mostly slapstick comedy).

Overall: It has a lot of funny moments here and there and the fast pace of the first few pages are well executed but it becomes increasingly difficult to follow what exactly is going on.

Aki-Sora...oh boy. Blood-related incest, yuri, exhibitionism, orgy...this manga seems to be trying to cover every sexual genre in existence. With that said, there's a solid story beneath it all that will have you asking yourself many questions. (Edit 2/1/2012: Manga is complete; review is final.)

Story: 8/10

The story is about Sora, a middle school boy, trying to come to terms with having a sexual relationship with his older sister, Aki. It eventually goes on to cover his various sexual exploits, though the majority of the story focuses on Aki. The story is choppy; certain chapters could benefit from being re-ordered. My criticisms aside, the actual story deals with mature issues and questions, and mature readers will definitely enjoy this manga. Younger readers should stay away from this one; it can be very confusing at times, not to mention the blatant sexual content.

Art: 8/10

Nothing bad, nothing overly special. The characters are all nice to look at, and the background art is done adequately. My main issue was how absurdly feminine looking Sora is. Sora is most definitely a trap, and this topic is a cause of humor in the series.

Aki-Sora is of the smut genre. There are blatant sex scenes in it, and most of them are between Sora and Aki, which is repulsive to some people. I mean, art-wise, the scenes were well-drawn, but I was bothered by it. I got over it a little by telling myself it's just their way of showing their love for each other. It was just a little more physical than I would have preferred.

Character: 10/10

This manga is VERY character driven. The manga's main focus is about forbidden relationships. The two main questions the manga asks the reader to consider are "Why is it wrong for siblings to love each other" (other than the obvious biological problems their child would have) and "What does it mean for two people to have sex?" The characters each have their own point of views on these questions, and it really gets you thinking. These characters are very well developed in very short a time.

The story is as much psychological as it is sexual. Most of the characters of the story are in love with someone society forbids them to be with. It is REALLY interesting to see the inner battles a character has with himself/herself over what they need/want to do. Do they abide by the rules of society, or pursue their love interest?

Enjoyment: 9/10

Aki-Sora has the right balance of ecchi, comedy, and romance. It's a mature title. The ecchi isn't composed of panty shots or "oops I tripped and landed on your boobs", and the comedy isn't composed of nosebleeds or "oops I tripped and landed on your boobs and you hit me halfway to the moon".

Overall: 8/10

An above-average manga of the ecchi genre. This manga is seinen, not shounen, and is aimed at a more mature audience. There aren't many seinen mangas out there, and even fewer of those are of the ecchi/romance variety. This manga is a step up from shounen romance manga. When you finally get sick of characters taking 200 chapters to FINALLY get together, manga like these are what you are looking for.

Final edit: February 1st, 2012.

Well... This is a weird one.

TsunBaka. "Tsun" as in Tsundere and "Baka" as in idiot, is a story about our simple character "Boon" and his childhood freind "Tsun."

Seems simple enough, right? We've all seen this recipe before right? Well prepare to be surprised and confused.

This is NOT a "normal" story by any means. It's hard to understand the story line, it's hard to even understand what the heck is going on! But that's what makes it such a good read.

Our 3 main characters are a lovely bunch. We have our main protagonist "Boon" who is a purposely simple drawn character with a simple goal. To pass his school exam.
Next we have Tsun. A mentally challenged airhead, who has no idea what she is doing from time to time. She can be a bit irritating sometimes, but is, generally speaking, pretty lovely.
Lastly, the only one else worth mentioning is Dokou, the wildcard of the bunch. One moment he is beating up possible rapists, the next moment he is making cyborgs of said rapists.

I'm not even sure what the genre of this was.
It has drama (Tsun trying to overcome her mental disability and Boon trying to complete his exam.)
It has comedy (Dokou fighting a massive fucking cat rapist cyborg.)
It has action (Dokou beating the shit out of possible rapists.)
It is a slice of life (Boon and Tsun shopping, going to school, etc.)
And it has romance (and a quite satisfying ending at that!)

"Why did you even read it in the first place?" I hear you ask. I am a fan of the artist and had a few hours to spare.

Did i like it? Hmmmm mmmmmhh.... Yeah. You know what, yes! I enjoyed it! I didn't understand half of it, but i enjoyed it!

It is a fun and 100% original story that can be finished in under 2 hours.

Remember kids, it is perfectly fine to kiss someone without their consent as long as you look attractive.
It is also completely acceptable to make light of someone's shame over something that was forced onto them. As long as they act like a bastardize version of what someone think anime is, a women crying and feeling shameful that some creepy old man forced himself onto her is always funny.

I don't get it, why is no one else pointing this out? This feels like I am reading the weird diaries of some rape apologist who fantasizes about being old and kissing up a young women without consent and everyone else makes excuses for them.

Oh, and the art is also shite. The characters look generic as hell and look like fictional characters from Wattpad.

Fuck this story and the author who wrote it.

I would say this manwha is, one of those treasures you sometimes come across, when your bored to death, and sick of the usual
"lovey-dovey-I-love-you- should-I-choose-this-guy-or-that-one"....

The story is different and the actions of the characters are nowhere being subtle. I think the author, definitly took the bullying in the manwha to a crazy level, but that also made it so much more real, and it gave more depth to the story. It was very interesting to see the actions and how the characters respond to them.

When it comes to the art, this is really a "hate or love it case". For me I came to love it, even though I was sceptical at first. But then for me it was the same case with "Paradise Kiss" which I also came to love.

I definitely recommend this if you're searching for something a bit different to read!
