If you've followed Mangabox for a while, either through the app or via the website, you've probably discovered that most their manga are like cheap candy. It's cheap, you know you can get better elsewhere, but hey, it does the job and you get more every week.

Shion of the dead was one of those that I followed with very low expectations. I was pretty sure it would be one of those situation comedy manga that follows a standard gag scheme with little or no surprises. Well then, I started to notice that I actually enjoyed this title. And even better, character development started to ... happen. The main characters have moved from flat to actually have some content, and the story is actually having a direction. Nothing about the manga is fantastic, but considering my low expectations it's actually not that bad. Together with a few other mixed titles, like Peephole, Love and lies, Dolly Kill Kill, High rise invasion, and Old Man Frog, it makes it worth to return to Mangabox, week after week.
