Kengen Ashura is a manga series that revolves around underground gladiator fights, where powerful fighters compete for the sponsorship of wealthy corporations. The manga has a lot of action scenes, but also a lot of commentary from the spectators, the announcers, and the fighters themselves. The commentary often explains the techniques, the strategies, and the backgrounds of the fighters, as well as their motivations and emotions.

The manga tries to balance the action and the commentary, but sometimes it feels like the commentary is too much and slows down the pace of the story. The commentary can also be repetitive or unnecessary, especially when it states ... the obvious or contradicts what is shown in the panels. The manga could have been more engaging and exciting if it focused more on the action and less on the commentary.

The manga also suffers from a lack of character development and depth. The fighters are mostly stereotypes or clichés, with little personality or growth. They are either good or evil, with no shades of gray or complexity. The manga does not explore their motivations or backgrounds in a meaningful way, and they do not change or learn from their fights. The manga relies too much on shock value and violence, rather than on character-driven drama or suspense.

The manga is not bad, but it is not very good either. It is average at best, and disappointing at worst. It has some good moments and some interesting concepts, but it also has many flaws and weaknesses. It is a manga that could have been much better, but it failed to live up to its potential.

Yami Shibai 11 is the latest installment of the horror anime series that uses the traditional Japanese storytelling technique of kamishibai. However, unlike the previous seasons, this one fails to deliver any genuine scares or suspense. The stories are bland, predictable and often illogical, relying on cheap jump scares and clichéd tropes. The animation is also poor, with stiff movements and dull colors. The voice acting is mediocre at best, and the sound effects are overused and annoying. The only redeeming quality of this season is the opening theme song, which is catchy and eerie. Yami Shibai 13 is a waste of time for any ... horror fan, and it shows that the series has become more and more inconsistent and uninspired.

The Ordeals of Regional Knight Hans is a comedy fantasy isekai manga that follows the story of Hans, a former knight captain who has been transferred to a remote station in the countryside. Hans is looking forward to a peaceful life, but his plans are disrupted when a group of Japanese people with superhuman abilities suddenly appear from another world.

Hans is initially skeptical of the Japanese people, but he soon realizes that they are a valuable asset in the fight against the monsters that threaten the kingdom. Hans works together with the Japanese people to protect the kingdom and the people he cares about.

The Ordeals ... of Regional Knight Hans is a fun and heartwarming manga with a great cast of characters. The story is well-paced and the comedy is spot-on. The manga also does a good job of exploring the themes of friendship, teamwork, and overcoming your fears.


Here are some of the things that I liked most about The Ordeals of Regional Knight Hans:

The characters are all very likable and relatable. Hans is a down-to-earth protagonist who is easy to root for. The Japanese people are also a lot of fun, and they have their own unique personalities.

The story is well-paced and the comedy is spot-on. The manga never gets too serious, and it always keeps you entertained.

Okashi na Tensei is a light-hearted and enjoyable anime about a young boy who is reincarnated into a world of swords and magic with a dream of becoming a great patissier. The anime follows Pas as he learns to bake sweets, make friends, and fight to defend his land.

The anime's strengths lie in its characters and its humor. Pas is a likable and relatable protagonist, and the supporting cast is also full of fun and quirky characters. The anime's humor is often subtle and understated, but it always hits the mark.

However, the anime does have some weaknesses. The plot is fairly predictable, and the pacing ... can be slow at times. Additionally, the anime's focus on sweets can be a bit too much for some viewers.

Overall, Okashi na Tensei is a fun and enjoyable anime that is perfect for fans of fantasy, comedy, and slice-of-life. It is not the most groundbreaking anime, but it is sure to leave you with a smile on your face.

I would recommend Okashi na Tensei to fans of fantasy, comedy, and slice of life. If you are looking for an anime that is light-hearted and enjoyable, then this is a great choice. However, if you are looking for an anime with a more complex plot or more action, then you may want to look elsewhere.

Personal Thoughts:

I enjoyed Okashi na Tensei. It was a fun and lighthearted anime that was perfect for a relaxing watch. The characters were likable and the humor was on point. I would definitely recommend it to fans of the genre.

Chi no Wadachi is a psychological horror manga that follows the story of Seiichi Osabe, a middle school boy who is being manipulated by his overprotective mother. The story is slow-paced and suspenseful, and it does a great job of building up the tension and dread. The characters are well-developed and believable, and the art is dark and atmospheric.

One of the things that I really appreciated about Chi no Wadachi is the way it explores the themes of manipulation and abuse. The story does not shy away from the dark and uncomfortable aspects of these topics, and it does a good job of showing the ... psychological toll that they can take on their victims.

However, I would not recommend this manga to others. The story deals with some very dark and disturbing themes, such as child abuse, manipulation, and violence. It is not for the faint of heart, and it may be triggering for some readers.

I also found the ending of the story to be unsatisfying. It felt like the story was building up to something big, but it never really delivered.

Overall, Chi no Wadachi is a well-made manga, but it is not for everyone. If you are sensitive to dark and disturbing themes, then I would avoid this manga.

Yoshi no Zuikara: The Frog in the Well Does Not Know the Ocean is a manga that is based on autobiographical elements from Barakamon to this manga which felt so connected with authors life as you can feel those moments. The manga is short but it is meant to be that way as the author cannot stretch real-life events for many chapters. The main character is very pessimistic yet from his continued resilience he wanted to stand for himself and he was ready to break from his orthodox approach of Fantasy to Slice of life genre.

The introduction of pet cat was not necessary but it ... was okay. The artwork was 8/10 and the story was 8.5/10. The visuals focus on the manga’s art style which consists of characters and environment, lighting and shade detail.

This manga is recommended to all readers who have finished or may have been introduced to Yoshino sensei’s work. However, this manga is not recommended to people with high expectations of comedy and drama and most of all to regard this work as slow pacing or not worthwhile.

Overall, Yoshi no Zuikara: The Frog in the Well Does Not Know the Ocean is a great read for those who enjoy slice-of-life stories with realistic characters that are relatable and engaging.

The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the story is told in a realistic and understated way. The animation is also top-notch, with beautiful watercolor backgrounds and expressive character designs.

“Forget number there’s no rating high enough for him.”
- Yamaoka, The Fable.

Just as the word from one of the antagonists in this series, these words alone sum up the whole Manga.
The Fable has been one of the best Manga ever created on my list. I still remember that night in the cinema hall of the Japanese Film Festival in India in 2020 where I first watched The Fable ( Live Action ). It was the best night of all and after some months I found out that this movie was a Manga adaptation that completely changed my life and now here I am.
The Fable is ... a story of Two Underground Assassins who are truly a Pro in their job and their Boss has tasked them a job to live a 'Normal' life for one year, a kind of rehabilitation because from childhood they are trained to be professional Killers. Their organization is called 'Fable' because as the name suggests there is as good as the fairy tail, not easy to comprehend, as good they are.
So this duo is handed over to the Yakuza gang called Maguro to manage their stay and look after them as they live their lives in this small town. An alias is given to them, Akira Satou and Youko Satou and they have to live as siblings.

The author, Katsuhisa Minami did an amazing job for this Manga. The character-building, storyline, plot and action, and mostly comedic puns made this manga as one of the masterpieces of all time. At first overlook, everyone will think that it's a cliche plot used in most of the works but what differentiates The Fable from all of the existing ones is the character of Akira Satou. He is, in a total sense, a professional and he is the strongest character in this whole series. Still, he is trying to learn how to be normal so whenever he gets rolled into the conflicts of gang and crime, he doesn't resolve to finish the work with just killings but he tries to find solutions that don't have to do with killing at all. In most cases, he is portrayed as a dumb person who doesn't understand the norms of the society but he is learning this process and trying to live a peaceful life.
Youko Satou is the drama queen in this series who is a drunkard, who holds her alcohol and makes fun of men in drinking competitions but as an assassin, she has a great memory and she is tasked to look after Akira, kind of like a babysitter.

This manga has already received two live-action movies The Fable (2019) and The Fable: The Killer Who Doesn’t Kill (2021) till now but no anime. The people who are crying out loud for Anima Adaptation need to know this manga is not for Animation at all because when it's adapted, it will not be able to manage the magnitude of the manga and its storyline at all. I just hoping for the third installment of the movie, completed in two parts to finish the story of Part 1 of The Manga.
To you, whoever may be reading this, I want you to know that this manga genuinely deserves your time so give it a go and immerse yourself in the world of Crime with Comedy because it will not disappoint you.
