High School DxD (Manga) add

Recommended

Preliminary (12/240 chp)

If you don't know what High School DxD is about, one I recommend you read/watch it right away, and two its a fairly basic Ecchi Harem series. Well I say basic but the story here does focus heavily on the Battle Shonen part of it. The story as well is quite good to what I would expect. Now during this review I'm going to be comparing it a lot to the DUB of the show of the same name. I do plan on watching the SUB eventually but as of now that is all I have seen. I am also reading official Yen Press translations, ... I have read and finished up to volume 2.

One thing I particularly liked about the light novel that I believe is done much better than in the anime is it has the right to take itself more seriously. The anime, while being one of my favorite shows, was certainly not the most in depth story wise story. It was just about someone's love of breasts and the whole show seemed to role off of that and that was it. The light novel however comes off as more of a real story, like even without the ecchi it would still be a fairly good story. Not to say that it would be top tier, but it would be good. Whereas the show would be kind of terrible without the ecchi, as it relies heavily on it. Another major thing that differs between the anime and the light novel is the relationship between Issei and all of the girls. With Asia it is even more clearly shown how the relationship(at least up until now) is much more of a brother wanting to protect his little sister kind of relationship. And with Rias as well the relationship moved much slower. I'll try not to spoil anything but in the light novel, the relationship between the two seems much more real.

Now admittedly I am coming into this loving the show, but I do sincerely believe this light novel is amazing. It has made me question how good the anime really is and is making me wish it took itself in a way the light novel did.

(SLIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD)
Now while I say all this praise of the light novel that is not to claim there are no faults. One thing I disliked is how when Risers pawn hit Issei, Rias simply stood there and was like whatever. Based on everything in the story I was sure she would rush to help, but she was no where to be seen. This could be because I watched the anime which did have her do that.

Right now I am excitedly waiting for the next two books. I plan on reading them by the shows season at a time, until we are all caught up, so I'll be waiting till July. Until then I will make sure to watch the SUB and read the manga, so next time I can use all its media to compare.

Saki-chan wa Konya mo Pekopeko (Manga) add

Recommended

Preliminary (30/50 chp)

This is spoiler free until my last point, which will state SPOILERS above it. So first imma speak of the different parts of it.

-Story: So the story in this manga is relatively simple and basic. Definitely the weakest part of the manga(Although in my opinion the further you get in it does get better and the story works with this quite well.) The story is basically just a succubus, named Saki, who needs to drink some semen to stay healthy and well. But she doesn't want to harvest from someone she doesn't love.

If you want I will have a description of the story with ...
