Beautiful, I've never seen a manga or anime depict relationships within teenagers so realistically as this, it's just bloody relatable to me. I was expecting a total resolution and make up between the characters, but it just didn't go that way, instead, it went through the realistic route, the way that's known to me. The story was amazing, making me laugh and cry and feel a burning rage to the characters, so much so that it made me want to write my first review.

But, the one thing I disliked was how short the manga was. Kawai never got a chance to resolve her disgusting hypocritical personality and we never saw Mashiba's past, which although I would've liked to have seen isn't really all that important to the story. I would've also liked to see how Nishimiya fell in love with Shouya. It's hinted in the manga that they probably met at some point before she transferred, so I'm guessing then, but they throw in so many of these hints that I'm left in charge of completing the rest of the story in my head, which isn't bad in general, but in this case, the manga definitely could've benefited from extra chapters.

Another thing, I was expecting a resolution between the love triangle between Ueno, Nishimiya and Ishida, but it hasn't changed, which is still okay with me. I think I'm just looking for excuses to extend the manga now.

Anyway, the only fatal flaw of this manga is that it's too short, gives us too little time to fully understand the characters, and in fact, when Mashiba was first introduced, I didn't know his name until several chapters later, though he's definitely my favourite character now.

Nirvana is a shoujo manga that attempts to recreate a typical shounen manga feel. Does it work? Sorta...Well, first, let me explain the plot. Young girl dies on a plane crash, gets reincarnated in another world...typical isekai stuff. The catch is that the enemies of this world use transformations to terrorize the people. So our main heroine must stop it. The story is fast, fun, and energetic. The heroes travel to foreign lands, and the art is gorgeous, with a good look. It is certainly reminiscent of Magi, with a world based off a foreign culture and with tons of adventure. A solid read if you like the shounen action genre.

{Read most of Volume 1.}

It comes with a Mature warning and is shrink wrapped. So the sexual or fan service elements should not surprise you.

This is a sexual parody of the superhero genre so it should be judged based on what it’s trying to be. As a fan service manga it’s fantastic. Got plenty of humor and it doesn’t take it self too seriously. It’s perfect for those stressful days.

While the plot is basic super hero stuff I was really surprised by how naturally the fan service, plot and the action flowed. Just doesn’t feel out of place.

The characters are designed like popular heroes but with a sexual twist. The mangaka definitely put a lot of effort to make them look cool and sexy. If you are into the curvy but fit look you will love this. The artwork is consistently good throughout.

In conclusion this easily one of my favorite fan service mangas, and I would recommend it to anyone who isn’t turned off by the cover.

I didn't expect Yuusha-tachi (or let's just call it "The Heroes") to be great, since it's just a one-shot. But that's okay. You do not read The Heroes for the plot, you read it for best girl. Best girl is a cute bunny-looking adventurer.

The story's about animals, fighting against darkness. Yep, it sounds bad, which it is - for the most part. At least it had some good elements, too, like some of the scenes were a critic to society. But as I mentioned before: you don't read it for the plot - you read it for best girl.

The art is definitely the point where it shines the most, but it's by Inio Asano, so I already was expecting some superb art. The background was really well drawn, maybe that's one reason why it took me so long to get through the ~20 pages. I found myself not caring about anything, but the background. Just starring at it, doing nothing. But hey, I did the same thing with best girl, you just can not stop looking at her. I mean, come on, you can't deny she is one of the cutest things you have ever seen.

Since we're already there, let's talk about the character design.
It was something unique - something you don't see often. Ofc this could mean it's bad, too, since being unique isn't all it takes to be "good". But well, I liked it. I thought Asano did a great job there (especially with best girl).

The atmosphere was something I found to be really good. To be honest, I would contuine reading this Manga just for the atmosphere (and for best girl, of course).

In the end I'd say, that "The Heroes" is something you can read for the art, the atmosphere and best girl; but if you're looking for something with a great plot, you should probably stay away from this.

I originally started reading girls bravo because i was bored and i figured it was something i could breeze through just to fill my time. I dropped it after the first twenty chapters because it was so utterly boring it pained me to continue reading. After a week I figured I might have missed something because dropped it kind of early, but I was wrong. EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER IS ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE ONE BEFORE IT! There is absolutely no character progression. I would honestly not be able to tell the difference between the third chapter and the finally except for the fact that the last chapter has more uninspired, forgetful, bland characters. Every character seems to be ripped off some other harem manga and the good parts of the original are ripped out of them and thrown into some pointless story. EVERY CHAPTER HAS THE SAME PLOT! One incompetent alien puts the main character in situations full of sexual tension, then girl next door with amazing strength hits him even though it wasn't his fault. Then horny guy strips all the girls and feels them up. Then girl next door punches everybody. Then oblivious alien girl eats. The mangaka added a few other characters a few chapters in but they were all so lazily made. One character is just the main with a gender swap. THE MANGAKA PLAGIARIZED NOT ONLY OTHER WORK, BUT WAS TOO LAZY TOO EVEN LOOK UP ANOTHER CHARACTER AND PLAGIARIZE IT. THEY JUST TOOK THE MAIN AND SLAPPED A PAIR OF BREASTS ON IT AND HOPED NOBODY WOULD NOTICE. The characters sucked so bad I refuse to give the five seconds it would take to look up their names even though its open in another tab. Sometimes they'll toss in some other bland characters to mix up the story, but only maybe for five pages every five chapters. I honestly think the mangaka forgot about the characters and then, near deadline, was like "oh shit, I need another chapter in three hours! I'll just toss in this character nobody's seen this volume and recycle more bullshit story!" The art wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't remarkable. It honestly pained me to go through with this story. I hope that nobody ever reads this, because i wouldn't force this manga on my enemies. I wish I had the time I from reading this back to do something more fun, like gouge out my eyes, or punch myself in the testicles for a few hours.

Before anyone says "if you don't like it, go read something else", I want to clarify one thing. I love dark, surreal and violent manga. This work definitely didn't let me down on those three points. However, Garden falls short on several basic storytelling conventions that make a manga enjoyable to read.

The manga is drawn in an indie style; the art is good and the design is interesting - you keep wondering what kind of freaky creature will pop up next. This is Garden's strong side. The weaknesses become obvious very early on: there's no obvious logic or structure to the events that unfold. I get it, it's supposed to be a trippy fantasy, but there needs to be a minimal red thread throughout the story, otherwise it will only confuse and frustrate the reader. With one exception, there is no coherence in any of the one-shots. Despite the strong themes and imagery, Garden doesn't have any impact. I can guess that this sort of mental diarrhea was a lot of fun for the author to draw, but it is not fun to read.

Story 1 is drawn in full color and sets your expectations high from the first few panels. While the events were possible to follow, nothing is explained and no questions are answered. By the end, I was thoroughly confused, and the entertainment value of the art had long since evaporated.

Stories 2, 3 and 4 and 6 are more of the same, though they have less exciting art and are not even vaguely understandable.

Story 5, The Book Of The Moon, deserves special attention and a much higher rating than the other ones, and is the only part of the manga that is worth reading. Much more thought and care were put into the setting and characters; the art style suits the story very well and even makes it momorable. It shows that the author is fully capable of these things, and makes me wonder why he didn't put as much effort into the other stories - if he did, this manga would have been a real gem.

Story 7, Emi-chan, is a total trainwreck. It's nothing more than a random slideshow, alternating between gory and trippy moods. It was much longer than the other stories, and the most frustrating to sit through. In an attempt to explain the bedlam for a change, the author added an infodump at the very end. Classy.

In conclusion, if you're looking for some good surreal horror, Garden will leave you disappointed.

For reading this manga, it's essential that you have played the 3DS Game itself, 'Bravely Default'.

The story contained in the manga does not differ much from the story in the game, however with a few little twists it does emphasise some of the not-so-major events and does so in a very effective manner.

The art is gorgeous and has really captured each and every character's personalities. The lives of the main cast, Tiz, Agnes, Edea, Ringabel and Airy is explored as they travel through Luxendarc in attempt to awaken the four crystals- just like the game.
As for how fast the plot is moving, it's moving at a steady pace and gives just enough attention to each scene that is recalled in the game.

So far it's great and I'm sure it'll continue to impress even more!

It's a good comic; if it wasn't a good comic, then I wouldn't have read it. (this is my first time reviewing)

There's a lot of positives in the story; it's supposed to be a comedy, gag, fanservice, genderbender, and romance manga that revolves around Shuuichi's friend Iori, who turns into a girl in the most inopportune times. The cause of troubles and trials for Iori came from a fairy, who was then saved by Shuuichi from drowning in the lake. The fairy grants Shuuichi's wish of having a girl childhood friend, but the wish was unexpectedly cast at Iori. The result came hilarious scenarios in which Iori would turn into Shiori (the girl version) in the most inconvenient times. The story was comedic, but simple. The art was pretty decent as well. Characters are okay in my opinion. But the plot and the scenarios in which Iori was stuck in made me laugh really hard; in simple, I enjoyed it a lot.

But there is still drawbacks in this manga. After binge reading this whole manga, the concept of Iori turning into Shiori was beaten too much to death in the end. The ending chapters seemed to promise a great ending, but I was disappointed by the way it ended, it just didn't seem right. Shiori acts like a real tsundere, which if you watch and read a lot of anime and manga, it gets tiring real quick. There is also plotholes in the manga, but since this is a comedy, I'll forgive that trespass.

I want to dedicate this paragraph to the big annoyances I have in this manga. First is Miyu's dad: why the heck is he so angry when Miyu brings in a friend that happens to be a boy? The second annoyance is in episode 17 of the manga, they almost crossed the line when it looked like it was harassment for Shiori, which was caused by the boys at the pool. But then again: a lot of manga do cross the line once in a while.

Overall, some of the jokes were cruel, but funny. I would recommend this short manga to anyone as a quick and hilarious comic to read in your spare time.

Hatsukoi Shinjuu is one of those hidden gems you find every once in a while. It isn't perfect but it has some fantastic and emotionally jarring moments. The main theme of the show is death and because of this everyone is able to take something from this manga. The story asks some extremely messy and ambiguous questions that make the story extremely interesting.

The journey the two main characters take together is extremely enjoyable. Since these characters are suicidal it makes their personality and outlook on life much different, and therefore much more interesting. I am not sure if what has been released so far is it, or they plan to release more. I do hope they do since the ending is a bit of a cliff hanger and there are a lot of questions left unanswered. But I can still forgive that because of how thought provoking this story was.

This is not a story that everyone is going to like, and it does romanticize suicide a bit. But if you don't mind reading a story about suicide and death then you should certainly give this manga a try.

Firstly you have to be aware that this was written by Fujisawa Tohru, who was the mangaka for GREAT TEACHER ONIZUKA. so theres a plus right there.

The story is really pretty solid , with a decent plot ,good character development humor and plenty of action and beware there is quite a bit of gore.

Our heroine is a unique character , whose experiences make for an interesting read , to say the very least.Not every day do you find a gun toting high schooler babe , taking out bad guys for the police using rubber bullets.

The story remains all in all pretty upbeat , despite at time dealing with some very dark or depressingly morbid topics or issues.Though indeed is also part of the tale.

To really appreciate the story properly though ,you have to read the prequel first , Rose hip Rose zero. it just put everything in place.I also happen to like this one better than that one as well.

To be honest , rose hip rose zero , gives a lot of the background and it has a more familiar feel to GTO, as well.

I enjoyed it and cant wait to see Rose Hip rose magnum , which will complete the series.
