This review will be based upon the the first 191 chapters and might change according to how the story turns out.

Story: The story is the typical zombie apocalypse story but compared to other manga or movies it starts some days before the apocalypse. It follows the life of a mangaka during his daily routine. Its a boring normal life but seeing it through the eyes of Suzuki Hideo will make it interesting and fun. It will keep you focused even if its not what you started the manga for. After some chapters the apocalypse breaks out and you follow this character to his journey for ... survival. I will also say that its really similar to Apocalypse no Toride's story but its completly different to the other parts(art,chars). So if you liked that manga you will like this one too.

Art: The art is incredibly! Its detailed clean and realistic. The faces are full of details and expressions. Honestly i havent seen better drwaings for faces than this. I have seen a lot of opinions about the faces, other say that its ugly but realistic at the same time. I believe its a hit or miss, i really like it but a lot of people hate it.

Character: The characters are really interesting and the develop and change during the journey. He does a really good job to show a lot of different kind of people and how they react to the apocalypse. I would focus tho on the main character, he is pure gold. He is a normal guy that gets to be in extreme situations. His reactions and character is hilarious and will make you laugh all the time. But he will get serious when the situation is dangerous.

Enjoyment: I really enjoyed reading this, it has the right amount of comedy,action and dialog. It wont tire you with extremly long dialogs or non-stop action sequences.

Overall: I believe this is a great manga for people that like the zombie genre but even for all those that want an apocalypse manga or a manga that focuses in the connections between people in extreme situations. I suggest to everyone to read this manga and i am sure that when you finish it you gonna be a fan of Hanazawa Kengo

Liar game is the story of a a group of people that got invited to play a game with high rewards and high risk. You see the story through the eyes of the woman called Nao Kanzaki. And honest girl that will take part in the game.

Story: The story isnt anything great but still keeps you wondering what is behind the Liar game. Nao get a package of money along with an invitation for the liar game. Once you open the package you are already part of the game, well i wont say anything more because i dont want to spoil but at some ... point she comes across Akiyama a genius that will help her with the games. The story is a series of games, each game is different. I wont go any further to explain the rules of the game but its really interesting to see how thing play out.

Art: In my opinion the art isnt bad but i will understand if someone doesnt like it. It can be weird at times or simplistic lacking any detail. Personally it doesnt bother me and i find pretty good.

Characters: I would have given this a 10 but will lower it to a 9 because of Nao. Most of the characters are normal people but you dont get to know them very well. The manga focuses mostly on the main characters, Nao, Akiyama and the most clever enemies they come across. Nao is an honest girl that trust everyone, talks a lot and most of the times can be really annoying(that was the case for me) but she is still likeable. Akiyama on the other hand is a mysterious guy that doesnt talk a lot and thinks everything before he say something. Now the rest of the characters that the manga focuses on are really interesting too and everyone plays the game for different reasons.

Enjoyment: This manga is really enjoyable. The games are really entertaining and will get you thinking how you would have acted in a similar situation or it will make you think what is gonna happen now because everything looks like its a dead end for the protagonists.

Overall: I will give the manga 8-9, its really enjoyable but can get repetitive or tiring at moments. I believe its worth reading. Also for anyone that have seen/read Akagi,Kaiji or One Outs this is a similar situation where the character is a genius(even if kaiji wasnt one) that goes through some extreme situations.

I saw the reviews giving this manga a score of 7-8 and thought that it might turn people away, so i will try to review this manga. This is my second review so if i make any mistakes dont be hard and feel free to point them to me. Now lets get on with the review:

Story 8/10: The story focus on the adventures of Bouya Harumichi a second year transfer student at the school of Suzuran, some might say the worst school to be in. It follows Bouya and all his friends/foes on their 2 year journey to end the school. Those 2 years consist ... of a lot of fighting along with tragic and happy moments. Dont expect much from the story but its really enjoyable and will keep you focused until the end.

Art 8/10: The art is nothing crazy, dont expect to be amazed from how good it is or to be suprised from how weird it is. The design of the world is always detailed and really good. For the characters mostly its detailed and its really good but during comedic moments the details are less but its still remains good. Also the art during the fight is pretty clear and you wont find your self struggling to understand what is going on.

Character 10/10: This is character focused manga and all the characters are amazing. Lets start from the protagonist Bouya, he is person that does only what he likes and that consists of 4 things, chasing girls,eating,sleeping and fighting. In my opinion Bouya is one of the best characters i have ever seen. The rest of the characters are top notch too. They are all interesting to say the least. I am sure you gonna end up loving most of them.

Enjoyment 9/10: The manga is really enjoyable. The protagonist will make you laugh during at times and make you excited during others. I believe that this is a manga that everyone should read, even if you dont like fighting manga or school manga i believe you gonna enjoy this one.

Overall 9/10: I will sumirize what i already said, the story is simple and easy to follow but still interesting to see whats going to happen, the art is really good but nothing spectacular, the characters are all awesome and its rare for me to have a manga that i like every character and its pretty enjoyable. The manga is not dark and doesnt contain gore. Now i will also have to say that if you are looking for fighting focus manga you are gonna be satisfied but if you are looking for a manga that is focused on school/bulling/classes etc this is not the manga you are looking for, i still suggest you read it tho.

With that said i would like to explain something. Sometimes you cant explain how good a manga is with just a review, and example for the scenario is Blame!. No matter what review you read you have to experience it yourself to understand how good it really is.

I am gonna start by saying that i will definitely suggest you to read this manga, its a great read that doesnt have boring parts. Now lets get more specific. When i found this manga i was searching for a manga that hand violence and interesting characters, something similar to Ichi, TWIM was exactly what i was searching for.

Story 8/10: The story isnt anything too impressive but its still really good. It follows two storylines, one that focuses on Mon-Toshi(the protagonists) and one that focuses on Higumadon(a giant bear), and the results their action have to the world. I wont go any further because i ... dont want to spoil the fun, i will conclude the story review by saying that it might seem early on that there is no story but the manga puts some interesting questions on the table and makes you wonder.

Art 8/10: When i saw the art of the manga i thought it was average and it wasnt looking good early on. Now that i look at it again i cant see that the art is good and it gets better with every chapter. The art its pretty detailed and it gives you a dark vibe,like berserk, that this manga needs. The only thing that someone might dislike are the faces.

Character 10/10: The characters and the character development is one of the best i have seen in a manga. There are a lot of interesting characters but i will focus on the protagonists. Both go through multiple psycological stages and change during the story, its cool too see how they change with each decission. Both characters are interesting and a mystery at the same time, even if early on they seem shallow, you will soon understand that they are not. The other characters that play big role in the story are also extremly interesting and each one is different. The only downside i can find is that some characters can be comedic at times.

Enjoyment 9/10: I found the manga to be pretty enjoyable and it keeps you interested during the journey. Ofcourse i would have to say that this manga contains extreme violence and might be hard for some people to read it. For the rest i believe its going to be pretty enjoyable.

Overall 9/10: I give the manga a 9/10( or 8/10). I believe its an enjoyable manga that has interesting characters, great action scens, a story that would make you wonder what it leads to but also make you wonder about some stuff. I suggest this manga tou everyone that want to see an action packed manga that has violense but also an interested story that will make you question what humanity is.
