Pros:
- The twists and turns in the plot was engaging and kept the story fresh. Every time I thought I had everything figured out and could predict where the story was heading, it found a way to surprise me.
- The characters are well drawn and the backgrounds are not bad.
- The story resolves around character motivations and development, which is a great storytelling device.
- Two of the characters are delightfully broken people, who has chosen ridiculus coping strategies. These characters hard carries this manga, with the MC as an enabler and supporter, caught in the crosshairs.
Cons:
- The main character is not unlikeable, but she is...

Uchi no Maid ga Uzasugiru
(Manga)
add
This review will not address the concept of lolicon culture.
Pros: - The characters all have funny and serious sides to them. - I won't say the art is good, but it is definitely passable. - The mangaka is willing to take a detour off on some tangent for a chapter or two, which could have led to a varied experience had it been executed a more humoristicly. Cons: - Some of the character traits becomes repetitive fast. - The plot twists often fall flat. ...

Ao Haru Ride
(Manga)

Pros:
- The characters are drawn well and expressive. - The characters struggling with being upfront about their feelings and making bad choices are realistic, which creates relatability for the reader. - The manga avoids some of the most repetitive rom-com tropes, which is refreshing. - The double chapters (40+ pages) mean that the chapters content aren't predictable most of the time. Cons: - The backgrounds are lacking in quality or simply just not drawn. - The characters are pretty unlikeable, probably due to how relatable they are. This affects the story in broad strokes, making progress in relationships lack meaning, as the characters continuesly sabotages their own interests. This in turn, ...

Onna Doushi toka Arienai desho to Iiharu Onnanoko wo, Hyakunichikan de Tetteiteki ni Otosu Yuri no Ohanashi
(Manga)
add
This is in the non-toxic yuri department, which I can live with from time to time.
The title is atrociously bad, but the manga itself is fine. Its a short one, so side characters take a backseat to the two leading girls. We see some teasing, some homo culture introductions and then we have, get this: "A character, who is clearly a dom, who openly have a history of fucking minors, but she is only portrayed positively, funny and little bit scary." Good ol' Japan strikes again. What ever, it's drawings who cares. I would put this in the slob category. It is recommended, and ...

Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi
(Manga)
add
Yes this is the much memed manga about revenge porn, that got an anime instead of a hentai, to everyone's confusion.
I am not appalled by the visuals, character motivations or content. I am not appalled about the loli girls getting raped and have their mind broken. I am however appalled, about how boring it all is. This might be an isekai thing, but fantasy requires a cool world the reader can be immersed into. This manga has everything it needs to succeed, except that. The background art is fine or even good at places. The characters are drawn fine, despite some issues with distinguishing the ...

Mieruko-chan
(Manga)
add
What caught my eyes with this manga was the confusing amalgamations of tags.
I went into it completely blind, not knowing if this would be funny degeneracy, a tragic emotional disaster or a wholesome and chill ghost story. After reading 62 chapters, I am still not sure exactly what Mieruko is, but I know that I: 1: Was engaged and wanted to read more. 2: Had some surprises and was captivated by the art, characters and stories. 3: Didn't regret spending time reading it. This doesn't mean that I think it is exceptional. I have given it 6/10 for now, which is my high end slob score. I still ...

This is a classic gyaru harem, that doesn't risk anything. Not even nips are on display.
The male lead is so devoid of character, that you might as well call him pants, since every dude can imagine himself being in such a lucky position, and the dude does nothing to deserve it. Furthermore, multiple plot points underline how feminine the dude is, to the point where male sidecharacters falls in love with him or gets boners from watching him eat ramen. It is really weird, but not in a good way (Read Kaguhara for that). But outside of this, the story is neither engaging or rewarding. ...

Bokura no Ai wa Kimochi Warui
(Manga)

This is a weird one.
I am not sure exactly what the end goal is, but I think this is a "funny degeneracy" manga, like Kaguhara and Sasha-chan. I have seen nothing disgusting yet (sadly), mostly just girls dreaming of girls. It isn't super well drawn, but the mood and characters still work fine. The pacing of the story seems good and the 3 primary girls introduced so far are interesting and have some good quirks. This might turn out to be "just a yuri romance," but I hope the funny degeneracy is here to stay. While I do recommend this, I suggest you check out ...

Sasha-chan to Classmate Otaku-kun
(Manga)
add
Sasha-chan is what I would call funny degeneracy.
The story is wholesome and sweet so far, but with most of its comedy coming from embracing degeneracy. The male lead is an unapologetic weeb with a passion for eromangas. His classmate Sasha-chan is all aboard this eromanga train, but isn't shameless about other interactions. This creates a good dynamic between the main couple and other suiters to Sasha-chan. It is decently drawn and held my attention. I will say, that the Kaguhara manga does this funny degeneracy genre better, so I recommend you check that out as well for some PEAK. I am still recommending Sasha-chan though, as ...

Wandance is a non-degenerate, non-harem that combines romance with dancing (sports/music). It is gorgously drawn and understands how to frame both the male and female dancers to reflect what their sexappeal is. The series is as of now unfinished, but I can with confidence say that the romance aspect is only around 20% of the story's focus. So this is a slow-burner on the romance.
On the other hand, the sports aspect of the dancing is the series biggest "thing." It is 80% of the mangas content and extremely well integrated. This is a straight up battle manga at its core, with dancing replacing the martial ... |
