This manga was created from multiple artists and authors. Out of all of the five chapters I have read I have only found 3 to be extremely pleasant and satisfying. I won't tell which, but they are psychological and beautifully created.
IF you love to read short pieces of manga that reflect on emotions or on self-satisfaction.
Other than the 3, the other pieces are average or mediocre and a waste of time to read. I would've given this a 10 if the other two stories weren't there, but we can't.
This manga has intelligence, humour, and beauty!

a fantastic compilation of short stories that serves as a great introduction to the art of Boichi. Despite the seemingly unconnected stories can be found that thematic link between all of them, and that ecological and naturalist argument of the author who warns of the danger that involves the human being for the planet and for himself, while leaving that feeling that we can still be able to change the situation. An apparently superficial tome about dystopian science fiction, which contains a sad and melancholic vision of life and existence and the need to put in place values that are increasingly alien to humanity. All ... this with the powerful drawing of Boichi and an eclectic choice of approaches that make Hotel a unique tome.

Well that was interesting, first of all this is a kinda collective of different stories but still have something that ties to the original story, so some stories are good to me, some are bad, the way I'll rate this is basically just by majority (if majority of the stories are good to me or bad), with that out of the way, let's review it.

The first story was a bomb, it was really dope as hell, I really like the subject and the message it wants to deliver, so far a good chapter but then chapter 2 starts, it's not bad but it's also not ... good so average to me, it's a romance kind of theme which I'm not ready for since I know this is a sci-fi because I find romance manga to be overly dramatic and cringe, then 3rd story, I like this, probably around good tier for me, it was hilarious, a bit of an upgrade from chapter 2.
Chapter 4, ohhh boy they touch a topics which I hate, so instant 1 for this story, after chapter 4 I noticed a pattern when it comes to the love partner of a male protagonist, it's always a younger girl, not just 4-5 years but teacher student age gap, pedophilia at it's finest my men, maybe the author is secretly a pedophile, so chapter 4 not only that it touched multiple topics I hate the most but also pedophilia was present since chapter 1, I'm getting kinda conflicted about this, those 2 stories (chapter 1 & 3) are really the ones keeping this afloat, chapter 5 was weird but I got the message and thank goodness the author didn't make it another pedophilia story. So let's sum it up:
chapter 1 = 8, chapter 2 = 5, chapter 3 = 6, chapter 4 = 1, chapter 5 = 5, overall = 6 and that's just for the story, now for the final overall tally:
Story = 6
Characters = 5
Art = 5
Overall = 5
really a shame, that chapter 1 was really dope, if this was a one-shot story it would have 8 on my scale.
