Mixed Feelings
This manga is rare, at least from my own experience of the isekai genre. It tackles the setting without tropes and in a serious way. Comedy is present, dark comedy it is, and in a way that some people may find it disgusting (for a lack of a better word) or just plain weird at best. The story sure is full of monologue, but that's okay because we get to know the thoughts of the characters, especially the protagonist. The pacing of the plot is slow and steady, with the protagonist getting accustomed with the new world she was in bit by bit, giving ...

This is indeed the sequel to the original Kaibutsu Oujo manga, but most of the chapters won't make the reader feel it that way and instead may give spin-off vibes. The plot will give a small hint about its nature as a sequel around the second half to make it more obvious to the reader, and will further be supported by the last chapter.

So it was a refreshing and enjoyable read. You'll notice that the author has improved their art style, new characters were introduced, and more pop culture references (Thailand cave rescue, Xenomorph from the Alien franchise, and Pennywise, just to name a few).

It ...

As this manga was made to commemorate the Dark Side of Dimensions movie, this work didn't expanded the lore or gave a good prologue for the movie. Heck, it didn't even presented itself as informative and satisfying, though it was a bit interesting for a potential reader to check it out. Sure, it gave out a sneak peek of the main antagonist and their motive (well, not really their primary motive), but honestly it felt lacking. Yes, this manga is lacking in plot and character development, though the art improved a bit.

After reading the 343-chapter manga (or watching the 224-episode anime), might as well go ...

Yu☆Gi☆Oh! (Manga) add
As someone who already has an extensive background on the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG/OCG, many of the cards in the manga have effects that have great deviation from their real world counterparts. But honestly, don't let that be a hindrance when trying to enjoy the story about a boy trying to make friends and learning to stand for himself, and an ancient king who learned kindness, through the medium called games.

Let's start with the world-building. It might come across as wacky. The first 50+ chapters are your typical game of the week, with the latter third focusing on the Duel Monsters card game and then a dangerous ...

After watching from start to finish, I can say with certainty that this anime adaptation and at the same time a sequel was done well, of course not a masterpiece but within reason. Ok then, let's cut to the chase.

The narrative immediately picked up from where cour 1 left. Though before that, there was a mini scene from the start of the 1st episode that shows the viewer what they might expect of the upcoming battles and what the main villain is capable of. Moving onward, the episodes feature one main battle. These main battles may span 2 episodes as you reach the 2nd half ...

This manga is that type of narrative where the overall plot is episodic (kinda reminded me of Ah My Goddess and Hayate no Gotoku) and it's full of romcom (more on the comedy side) and slice of life. It's the story of a couple with their everyday lives just having a variety of fun, with the girlfriend initiating most of the funny moments and sometimes finishing it with her occasional adorable domestic violence (it's just her punching her boyfriend to the gut) or being clingy to him in a funny way.

For the characters, you may find the girlfriend doing crazy antics and spouting some ...

It's good to see that the Bleach anime is back to adapt the Thousand Year Blood War arc.

After I finish every episode, I re-read the manga to know which chapters it adapted, to find out what details from the manga got omitted in the anime, and to see what new scenes the anime adaptation got over the manga. Manga content that weren't adapted into the anime were either brief dialogue, some comedy scenes, and some tidbits of info that could have supplemented a fact or explanation.

Speaking of the new scenes in the anime adaptation, remember Ichigo using Bankai to dispatch some normal Hollows in ...

What hooked me into this series was the fact that Keima, the main character, was using galge logic to make girls fall in love with him. It might work in the real world but honestly it will take lots of experiments to prove its efficacy, no matter how absurd it sounds.

For the story, I really liked the pacing of the first hundred chapters up until the Mai High Festival arc. Pacing was neither fast nor slow, just the right speed (at least for me). I also enjoyed those bits of episodic chapters featuring slice-of-life moments with some of the characters, especially Elsie. There were also ...

Preliminary (192/193 chp)
I read this after reading Negima because they said it was a sequel (albeit a loose one) and I'm writing this review as I have just finished reading the last chapter.

As I read through, the first half of the entire story had fair pacing but direction was kinda not clear. Then during the second half it became a mess of timeskips, power level BS, deus ex machina, more plot holes which added to the already existing lots of them, asspulls, whatever. I swear, reading those chapters from the second half were not an entirely enjoyable experience because I need to imagine explanations on "Why and/or ...

I'm writing this review because I just finished rewatching this anime series (the first time I watch it, the english subtitles were god awful, and so I have to make do with my own interpretations back then).

This was a good enjoyment overall, with the impressive duels here and there coupled with outstanding OSTs. Art and animation was also good, especially within the first few episodes, some of the major duels/battles throughout the series, and the last few episodes in every story arc, but for the rest of the episodes the art and animation had a noticable degrade. For the story, the connection between the past ...
