Chichi to Hige Gorira to Watashi - manga review "Happily crying"

Score: 10/10 This story is not really for everyone, mainly because it is a slice of life story, full of funny little moments and it is not that dramatic. The drama is well balanced out with the comedy element making the characters sympathetic and nice. The story is not without its flaws, there are some things that I can't stand in it, however, these things are something that is never like in anything so I rarely take away points from a story for including these things. These are the implication that your happily ever after comes with marriage, however, this is how the characters are set up from day one, so I kind of saw it coming. Here, I can imagine that marriage is these characters happy ever after, and not something that is made into a universal truth. The characters are strongly written in that sense. "After losing her mother to a traffic accident, 5-year old tomboy Michiru finds a "suspicious person" moving into her home: her father's younger brother Kouji, ...

0/6 - Review on the go! [+18 nudity and well, it's ecchi...]

0/6 by Lee You Jung is an insane ride from the first glance. I haven't even started the second chapter properly and there is already a German teacher who is dressed and acts like Hitler. I decided that this story deserves more review as we go style to it. Score: 8/10 This a five-volume manga that was published in 2006. "0/6 was published in English by Net Comics; physically from January 25, 2005, to March 6, 2007, and digitally on February 8, 2015." -myanimelist.com "Originally published in Korean by Seoul Munhwasa (Seoul Cultural)." -myanimelist.com The story of 0/6 is a little bit convoluted and doesn't really follow a clear structure that usually other stories do. But that is something that is its strength. The humor is nice, the art style variates between interesting, detailed and downright ugly, but that is on purpose. Some of the backgrounds are the combinations of drawings and photos that give a strange comedic atmosphere to the whole manga. The chara...

1-nen C-gumi Yoshida-gakari - [manga review]

Score: 4/10 1-nen C-gumi Yoshida-gakari is a one-shot is a middle of the road story about two boys or is it? The one-shot was made by Sakura Shiori, serialized in Comic ZERO-SUM in 2011. Taiyo Tsukishima is tasked with being the friend of a boy, Yuu Yoshida who always has strange things happening around him. Yuu is a mystery, he is top of everything, both in studies and in athletics and the girls all want to date him. However, Yuu is not a sociable person but likes to spend time with people who are assigned to him. [Spoiler: Every other student who was assigned to him get frustrated and change schools, so the new transfer student with a bad face is being bothered with this task that no one wants.] The art is nice, even though it is a little bit bland. The same goes for the background. The characters are not really interesting, they are one-note but carry the story well. The humor that comes from the characters is nothing knee-slapping, I do not have a problem with it, and they lea...

Fushigi Neko no Kyuu-chan Volume 1 & 2 - Review

Fushigi Neko no Kyuu-chan is a still ongoing 4-koma, or yonkoma series about a lively and wonderful cat and his everyday life with his human Hinata. It is made by Nitori Sasami and was serialized in Twi 4 magazine, published by Seikaisha in 2018. Right now they are up to volume 5 and they are still going strong. Kyuu chan was adopted by Hinata, a usually bored-looking young man on a snowy day. From being stary to finally having a place to stay Kyuu is really attacked to Hinata and tries everything to make him human happy. This is a wholesome and positive story about an extraordinary cat having quite a normal day to day life with his human. I can highly recommend this little series since it is easy to read and quick to understand what is going on. It has it's own quite charming atmosphere that are perfect for times when you feel down (if you are a mood reader like me). There are some chapters where the pages are animated, which is quite nice and unique, but it was advertised that th...

Familia! [manga review]

Familia! is made by Sou, serializes in Comic Avarus a magazine published by Mag Garden, and it was published in 2010. "Winner of an Award of Excellence in the Monthly Comic Avarus manga awards during November 2010." - myanimelist.net Score: 9/10 Kotaro Kazama, Yumeno Haibara and Shuu Koganei are Bambi's bodyguards, even though they never see the need to do any bodyguarding. Right now they are working to get enough money for Bambi, who likes spending money. Bambi himself is working as a designer. Their relationship is complicated. Bambi is a shut-in, however, someone from his past comes around and it is up to the three of them to save him until it is not too late. However, the three of them are not quite your average bodyguard. The art style is good, the characters are beautiful and their design gives back their characters. Yumeno is kind and naive with big features, Shuu is more rugged and serious, and you can see him being the one to pick more fight with Bambi about his ...

+α no Tachiichi - manga review

Score: 8/10 The beginning is really good, there is this subversion to the usual pretty young woman ending up in a world with superpowers and ending up saving the world. Satoki is a plain-looking girl, not really protagonist material and she never changes that much throughout the story in appearance. Satoki ends up with the power of the Holy Maiden, being able to materialize while everyone believes that it is her pretty companion, Haruka Toudou who is seeming without magic. [Spoiler: The twist in the story is that Toudou has magic too, just her imagination, that is needed to create the magic is really bad. She can use other people's imagination so she subconsciously channels Satoki's magic.] The manga is written and drawn by Geni Yuu, serialized by Zero-Sum Online between 2013 and 2014, consisting of only two volumes. The enjoyment of this manga, while reading is good, even though there are parts towards the end where I thought I won't finish it. The art is good, the backgro...

Ninin ga Shinobuden Anime Review

Score: 6/10 Ninin ga Shinobuden or Ninja Nonsense is a 12 episode comedy anime. It is an adaptation from a manga with the same name, premiered in the summer of 2004. Producers of this show were Toshiba Entertainment and Happinet Pictures while the licensors are Nozomi Entertainment and NYAV Post. The studio ufotable made the animation and the anime got R-17+ rating. Director Matsui Hitoyuki and sound director Aketagawa Jin worked on this show. The anime is a wacky comedy about, as the title says, ninjas. Shiranui Kaede is a normal high school girl, learning for her exams and doing normal high school things. However, she gets to know and befriend a ninja-in-training, the good for nothing and clumsy Shinobu and her life changes forever. The story, all in all, is not something that I would call offensive. It is, however, a little bit forgettable. There are nice comedic touches and from time to time drama enters the scene too, the whole anime sadly ends up being cute forgettable. There is ...

Omoni Otto - manga review

Score: 7/10 it's a good story all in all. Omoni Otto is not a manga that I would recommend to people since it is so short, only three chapters and not having any substance behind it and the third chapter almost hints at a continuation. However, that is not to say that it is a bad story. Information! Omoni Otto was made by Yamazaki Satoshi, serialized in Gekkan! Spirits in 2014. The art is actually cute good, the character design of the main character Suguri Yukio is drawn with harsh lines and a strict scary face, which makes it strikingly contradicting when it turns out that he is good at housework and with children. Suguri wouldn't admit that he is a househusband even though he decided to take up the housework instead of his wife since right now he is in a creative slump. Suguri is actually more invested in doing housework and shopping while waiting for creativity to strike. It is a nice little spinet of his life, not really having any story behind him. [Spoiler: I would actua...

"Bungaku Shoujo" Kyou no Oyatsu: Hatsukoi - Review

Score: 9/10 It is an OVA that kind of explains what "Bungaku Shoujo" is about, it was released with the limited edition of "Bungaku Shoujo" Minarai no, Shoushin, as it is presented on MyAnimeList.com and it was made by Production I.G released in 2009. The director was Tada Shunsuke, sound director was Nakajima Toshihiko and episode director Ezaki Shinpei. This OVA has a real personality to it, and it is really different from the atmosphere of the movie. It is different in a good way, and it is more comedic. I can't help to compare it to the movie since this is something that must have been what they had teased the movie with. It is a good marketing plan actually, but they managed to make it into their own thing. This one focuses on another classic, same as the movie, and this is more a taste of what the movie will be like and it could feel like it is a filler. But it is quite well-recived filler on my part. Is it mandatory to understand the movie: no. I can'...

[+18] "Boku wa Senpai ni Josou wo Shiirareteimasu." - Review.

"Boku wa Senpai ni Josou wo Shiirareteimasu." is the work of Shono Kotaro, was serialized by WAaI! Mahalo and it is only one volume. "Wataru starts his high school life by getting forced to cross-dress by his senpai, Ayane Takamura." - MyAnimeList.com T hat's a ll f olks ! – ̗̀ 𝓗𝔞𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔰 𝔤𝔬𝔫𝔫𝔞 𝔥𝔞𝔱𝔢 ̖́- ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ✧ Seriously, there is nothing about this manga anywhere - pornography doesn't need explanation. Quick, before I go on a tangent on this: Art: it is beautiful. The boys, our main two leads, are drawn cute and the outfits are cute too. Ayane is objectively attractive and funny. The background is bland, but you can't ask for a lot of things, here, you know that you won't be watching the goddamn corridors! And this is an ecchi, I don't need to tell you what that means. There are plenty of pantie shots of both Wataru and Hinata, and of course, of Ayane's too. But it never goes past this. Story: it's ecchi... but it is somewh...
