It took me 11 days to finish it. It was an enjoyable read, and at certain points, the manga fired on all cylinders and became incredibly gripping. I actually figured out a secret piece of information about the organization early on in the manga—something one of the Claymores discovered after growing suspicious of the organization they work for, conducting lengthy research, and then revealing it to the other Claymores she was close to. I laughed a lot about this because it seemed like these Claymores were a bit slow on the uptake.
You could say the Claymore manga is a blend of the Berserk manga and
...
The Witcher game. I’m not too familiar with The Witcher, but Berserk is on a whole different level compared to Claymore, of course. So, Claymore isn’t on par with Berserk, but it’s still a very enjoyable manga. I believe anyone who loves Berserk will enjoy reading it. If you’re into the fantasy/horror genre and appreciate good monster designs, don’t wait—start reading Claymore right away !

I noticed an interesting parallel between Dragon Ball and Dorohedoro. In fact, I think Dorohedoro was inspired by Dragon Ball Z. In Dorohedoro, the sorcerer character named En used his magic to turn people into mushrooms, or other sorcerer characters used their magic to transform people into food like pies, etc., and these foods were eaten. This reminded me of the magical creature Buu in Dragon Ball, who used his magic to turn people into candy, chocolate, etc., and then ate them.
It was a great read, and I really enjoyed it. I got that feeling of fun and light heatedness that i got from Dragon
...
Ball while i was reading Dorohedoro. It had its flaws though, the main characters who died were brought back to life, and some characters were revived multiple times and when time travel got involved, it became a situation like, "I went back in time and changed everything in my favor," and then, "Oh really? Well, I went back in time after you and changed everything back to my favor..." This made me roll my eyes a bit... HA HA.
Of course, the whole concept of reviving the dead and time travel reminded me of Dragon Ball again. I think Q Hayashida was mostly influenced by Dragon Ball when creating Dorohedoro. Though the influence of films like Friday the 13th and Bill and Ted were also obvious.

I love this manga. Sometimes I looked at the panels for a long time, I read the dialogues in those panels over and over again. I didn't want to lose that moment, I wanted it to be engraved in my memory, but unfortunately mother nature wasn't that kind to me when giving me a mind... It is a manga that makes me wish I had a photographic memory...
I learned that there are other mangas like Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou out there. That it blongs to a manga genre called Iyashikei and i even read another manga in this genre and it is called Girls Last
...
Tour. As far as i learned Iyashikei series are feel good manga series that has an over all melancholia on the plot and this is exacly what Yokohama Kaidashi Kioku was.
Girls Last Tour is another one of my all times favorite mangas, but it had a bad end, i understand a Iyashikei manga suppose to have melencolia over overall its plot, but a bad end gets into territoriy of feel bad...(HA HA) I am just saying though, actually i love bad ends, but an Iyashikei supposed to be a feel good series with sweet sadness, you know melencolia, so i think Girls Last Tour kind of get out of Iyashikei territory with its bad end because it is not sweet sadness anymore, it didn't depress me or anything, i love a bad end anyway, but it can depress some other people.
I realised that i am a Iyashikei guy. I learned that March Comes in Like a Lion is also an Iyashikei manga (i am collecting it right now, but i haven't started to read it yet) I am just pulled to Iyashikei mangas... Even without knowing that they are Iyashikei, i go for Iyashikei mangas. (HA HA)

Buruburu Kenshin ! It is a Battle Shonen, as a Battle Shonen, it does what a Battle Shonen does... HA HA It has the same shonen clichés as in every shonen I've read, and ofcourse, the main target audience of a shonen is children and teenagers, especially early teens, so there are comedy parts in it that you can see in every shonen, I laughed some of them as well. Of course, as a Battle Shonen, it has non-stop action. I liked the characters of Shinamori Aoshi, Saito Hajime and Hiko Seijiro, I like charismatic respectable big brother type of characters. I believe anyone who
...
likes shonen will enjoy this manga.

It was a low-key sci-fi manga. I want to talk about the subject, but it seems a little difficult to talk about it without spoilers. To summarize very briefly, a heartbroken romantic boy, while returning to his country Japan from traveling around the world on a ship, met a mysterious and beautiful girl named Emanon, who was traveling on the same ship, and they started a conversation. It can be said that it is an experience that every young man hopes to experience and it sounds like a slice of life manga, right ? But from there with the involvement of imaginary evolution, it turned
...
into a low-key sci-fi manga. It was a nice read.

This manga is called a seinen, but the story is full of shonen clichés... For example, the phrase "I must protect everything I love, I must protect everything that is important to me", if I had a peny for every time the main character said this phrase in almost every shonen I watched and read. , now I would be even richer than Elon Musk. Then, in order to achieve this phrase, there is the you need to get stronger by training, especially against a strong enemy, learning to use your power or learning a new technique, and the enemy you fight against later joins
...
your team as your friend... etc. Shonen clichés like these were in this manga, so it would be more accurate to call this manga a battle shonen with excessive blood and gore scenes.
The plot of the manga was not that original at all. Basicly, Human-looking monsters, who try to survive secretly in society, are a threat to humans and because of that they are hated and hunted. There were so many characters in the manga, I can't remember the names of many of the characters. After a certain point, I wasn't sure at first whether the mangaka added a new ghoul investigator character to the manga or we went back to and focused on an already excisting ghoul investigator character who was mostly in the background so far. Of course, this confusion went away when I realized that when the mangaka added a new ghoul investigator character to the story, he showed the ghoul investigator character's name, rank, Quinque (a special weapon used by ghoul investigator while hunting ghouls) technique and the name of the ghoul investigator character's Quinque.
The manga made me read without getting bored due to its abundance of action, otherwise I would not have been able to finish reading all the 144 chapters. I like shonen anyway, I just expected more from a manga that is considered a seinen.

I finished Gunnm. The ending was ridiculous... The Zalem turned into a tree... what, how, no way After i gave these reactions, I gave it 5 out of 10 points on MAL, but there was a part in the last chapters that I saw as an inspiration for the Matrix Film, seeing this made me abit warm up to the manga because I really like the Matrix, the first film was great, the rest was still watchable even though it wasn't that good. I also liked Alita's film, but the manga was very different, as it progressesed, it almost had nothing to do with the
...
film, the Film was going to a much different place, if it had a sequel. The manga was pure action, It was read like a battle shonen with some gore and it had so few amount of nudity, I can't really call it a seinen. In order to seem deep, the manga gave examples from some literary works and philosophical works and stuff, and then gave a lot of scientific information, most of which was fictional, but when you look at the story of the manga, there wasn't actually anything deep
Mangaka wanted to create a conflict between Gally's human self and his machine body, but this was very weak, manga barely touched the surface with that, so it didn't mean much. Then there were many other things that didn't sit right with me, for example, the personalities of the characters showed inconsistency, the character you call a good girl suddenly became extremely cruel and did not care about human life at all, or a character like Desty Nova, whom you would call a complete psychopathic monster, suddenly experienced intense emotions and wanted to live in peace and harmony. There were many things that didn't make sense. Then when you learn the big secret of Zalem, when the residents of Zalem learned that they were so shocked and traumatized that they couldn't overcome it and committed suicide, you say, Is this it... This is not something that would cause such a big trauma and lead to suicide.

Death Note was a blast to read ! I prefer the excitement created with this kind of battle of the minds shonen to excitement created with physical fights, battles in most of the shonens at my age. The intricate plans set in motion by Light, Ryuzaki, Near and Mello were alot of fun to read.
There were some parts i said ''eh this is too much'' though. That is why Death Note doesn't get a 10 perfect score from me. Light and Ryuzaki were both being champion tenis players was too much. It is shonen, but still being geniouses in mind and being genious athlets at
...
the same time is just too much and Ryuzaki said to Light, i learned to fly a helicopter on my own, you are on my level, you can do it too or something similar at some point in manga. That was just too much... He is a genious, an athlete and a pilot as well... And he learned how to fly a helicopter on his own... HA HA This kind of started to get out hand man. And how can you learn to fly a helicopter on your own. To learn on your own means try and error and when you pilot a helicopter, you will crash and die with your first error. You have zero chances of making any errors... HA HA So you can't learn to fly anything on your own, that was just ridiculous.
But and it is a big BUT, it was a blast to read overall even if its flaws. I recommend Death Note Highly !

Bakuman had a Slice of life subject, the main characters Moritaka Mashiro and Akito Takagi's dream was being the best mangakas in Japan, but it was a shonen manga so the execution of the story was not very realistic after all, but the emotional side of the story, things like Taro Kawaguchi were used so well that you look over some of the over the top parts of the story.
Hiramaru sensei was my favorite character. Hiramaru sensei and his editor Yoshida's comedy rutin was hilarious most of the time. Nakai sensei was really funny as well, i was really cracking up as Nakai sensei
...
got really round because of the pizzas, he ate as the story moved forward. I think the relationship between Mashiro and Miho was something only a Japanese would think normal, pure and wholsome. HA HA It was something i didn't understand, everyone in the manga was so moved by how Mashiro and Miho didn't see each other in their 8 years releationship because of their promise and how ''pure'' it was... Japanese people really have a weird understading of ''pure''... HA HA If you have a girlfriend and if you do nothing with her, it is such a ''pure'' relationship for Japanese people... HA HA This is what i understand from the manga. Then again what is the point of having a girlfriend, if you do nothing with her ???? HA HA I don't know how much of the manga's story was from Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata's real life, but as far as Obata said there was alot of reality in the manga.
Eiji Nizuma was a really funny character as well. Story never went back to Shiratose character, i wonder if he could make it as a successful mangaka... And Nakai sensei didn't really have a conclution, i wonder if he could get in shape and find a wife. HA HA

Wow... 26 films... I was really excited to see Detective Conan Anime Film in a theather after like 28 years or something. I used to watch the tv anime on television when i was at junior high. I remember it as amazing, but the film was not that good...
I was not sure what was going on in some scenes. lol Yeah, i haven't seen the previous 25 films of Detective Conan, but i don't think that was the reason. It wasn't very believable as well... I mean some aspect of the story, like the new tecnology, face recognition system or whatever its name was...
...
It was too spesific of a threat for Conan Edogawa. I would expect something more compelling from Detective Conan, but afterall i was at junior high when i was watching the show on tv so it may have never been that compelling. lol
I still like Detective Conan or the manga named The Case Closed. Conan Edogawa will always be a beloved character from my childhood.
