Imma be honest, this manga was dumb, but it was the good kind of dumb. Leo, the Sacred Sword who has never been treated as a woman meets Fooly Dent, an ab obsessed dude who is completely in love with her. I wasn't expecting much out of this series because of how dumb the title sounded, but it was a surprisingly fun ride! The main reason to read this is for the absolute dumbfuckery that Leo and Fooly get up to along with the rest of the characters. Leo gets pulled underground by a goddamn mole, Fooly accidentally genderswaps his and Leo's gender, a royal
...
guard from the capital becoming obsessed with Fooly to the point where she wants to become his slave (I'm not fucking kidding). Oh and let's not forget how towards the end Fooly's master shows up just to switch his physical form back to when he was 8 years old and proceed to BORDERLINE GROPE HIM!!! Thankfully the whole 'shotacon master' thingy only lasts for about 3-4 chapters, but it still gets points deducted for the weirdness, but then again this manga is weird all around. Oh yeah and there's a fucking ab god at the end of the series that can blow a hole through a fucking mountain because of how horny abs make Fooly. ... Please don't ask. I can't make sense of it either. In the end, this series is very fucking stupid, but stupid in the charming way. If you've been looking for a shorter manga to binge over the weekend, I recommend giving this one a shot! The chapters are short, the artstyle is super cute, and the general tomfoolery is sure to put a smile on your face!
(Seriously though, the shotacon chapters pissed me the fuck off)
7/10

I would call myself a fan of Zyugoya. He manages to create stories that are cute and wholesome, while at the same time dealing with some very dark and serious themes and issues. It had been a while since I had checked out a Zyugoya work, so I decided to check out what other completed works he had out. I saw this one had been released recently and I decided to give it a read. I'm going to put it bluntly: all 10 pages of this one shot are 3 sucubi attempting to pre-order a literal infant. You think that sounds bad? It gets worse.
...
There is a literal page where the baby accidentally pisses on one of the succubi's face. You know what her reaction was? To get turned on by it. Let me repeat that. She got turned on by a baby pissing on her face. This shit was probably supposed to be funny but it really fucking wasn't. This is basically Instagram Comments: The Manga. I genuinely think this is one of the worst manga I've read in a long time, and I've read some very fucked up manga so that's saying something. Spare your eyeballs from this travesty and read literally anything else. Me personally, I will be reading the Bible because I feel like I need to seek God after what I just witnessed.

I know I'm reviewing the manga, but I'm kinda bundling this with the anime since I've read and watched both twice. So, yeah. Made in Abyss. I used to LOVE this series to the point that I had it over Berserk (blasphemous I know). I don't know if I'm dumb or if I'm dumb (TN: ADHD), but when I first watched Made in Abyss, I just didn't notice the mutilation of children that much. Maybe I was traumatized from Berserk and had become numb to violence at that point. However, after entering my chill anime watcher arc, I decided to revisit my favorite series, and
...
BOY OH BOY DO I HAVE WORDS. I swear there are scenes that when rewatching them made me sick to my stomach. e.g. Prushka getting disassembled, Riko getting her arm snapped in half, the origins of the hollows, and the countless times children have been shown naked, tortured, and even r8p3d. Yes, you read that right. R8P3D. There is a scene. that this author drew. where a child. was sexually abused. I don't know about you, but that was the final nail in Made in Abyss's coffin for me. This really hurts me to say this, but I can no longer support this series or this author. When you sexualize kids, that's a major turnoff. I know what's in my list. Fuck off I don't readd that shit anymore. Full disclosure, I did watch Sound of Freedom (10/10 go watch it) recently, which is about child s3x trafficking, so I was feeling a little bit of conviction rewatching MiA. Now I will list the things that I like about this manga:
World Building: The abyss is a great concept. A giant hole in the ground that nobody has seen the bottom of, a mysterious curse that refuses to let you leave, and mysterious wildlife? Epic! I would be so down if this was by literally anybody else
Mystery: As much as I dislike Tsukushi, I've gotta give him his insane ability to write a compelling mystery. Especially when it comes to a vast place like the Abyss.
Characters: I really like Riko's laid-back, happy go lucky personality. Even when she's on the verge of death, she still keeps herself in good spirits. I wish I could be like her in that aspect.
Now that I've gotten the good out of the way, let me list the bad
Torture of Children
Mental Abuse of Children
R8p3 of Children
Murder of Children
Experimentation on Children
Vore Fetishes
Wierd Ass Licking Toilet thingy (probably scat)
Pedophilia
I'm too lazy to think of anything else, but trust me there's a lot I could go on about
If the author wasn't an absolute fucking pervert who is most likely a pedophile, I would still like this manga. Story wise, I still think it's a 10/10, but when you have kids that are being sexualized in your manga, I will not support you, nor will I read your manga. To everybody who is reading Made in Abyss right now, PLEASE re-evaluate where you stand with the series

If there's one thing you need to know about me, it's that I can't do horror. It doesn't matter if it's a movie, TV series, anime, or manga, I just can't do it. Why, do you ask? It's simple: I like sleeping well at night. While I might not like horror, I very much enjoy thriller/suspense stories, one of my favorites being The Hiding Place movies, Jurassic Park, and Gravity. When it comes to manga, I enjoy thriller stories even more. There's just something about the paneling that makes thriller manga so easy to binge read. That is especially true for Hone ga Kusaru made,
...
or in englishh: Until Your Bones Rot. I kid you not I went to bed after reading the first 13 chapters, woke up the next day, went to church, came home, sat down, and BINGED the rest of the series. It takes a lot for a series to be so compelling that you physically cannot stop making yourself read. From chapter 3 and onwards, your hand will just make you keep scrolling. The murder, the mysterious phone person, the twists, the plots, subplots, counterplots, and plot-plots are all near perfect to me. I'm keeping this review spoiler free because this series is WAAAAAAY too good to spoil. There is a slight trigger warning. If you are sensitive to topics such as ped0ph1lia, r8pe, and Schmexual Assault, don't read this. I understand that not every manga is for everybody, so I just wanna put that out there. However, if you have a strong enough stomach, and love some mystery thriller stories, Hone ga Kusaru made is the manga for you. It have very short chapters that range from 10-16 pages, so you can get through it easily. These are my ratings of the individual aspects of the manga:
Story: 7/10 Seen this story done before in other manga, so nothing really out of the ordinary there
Characters: 10/10 The characters can make or break a story, but here, they utilized all of the characters, even if they seem insignificant. Also has great development of the main group
Art: 9/10 The art in this series comes across as pretty standard, but the more you read, the more you realize that the art adds to the atmosphere of dread.
Ending: 9/10 I was worried that I would hate the ending, but I love me a good redemptive ending
Overall: 9/10

Okay, so before I go on this huge schitzo rant about why I fucking hate this manga, I need to preface two things:
1: I am a huge fan of the Demon Slayer anime
2: The reasons that I hate this manga could be considered petty
alright, are we good? Good. Cue the schitzo rant.
ASDFGHJKLKYTUYUJKTYIUYURCYXCTYEJYFG<HK>L?JHDGHMKJLUHYGYJUFHYDGSTFAEWGRTNTHMYJHM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY?!?! WHY?!? WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY?!?!?!?!?! Why did this manga suck SO FUCKING BAD?!? HOW COME I SEE SO MANY PEOPLE GIVING DEMON SLAYER A 10/10, WHILE SIMULTANIOUSLY HAVING BERSERK IN THEIR FAVORITES?!?!? ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MI- ahem. Sorry, I lost my cool there. Allow me to CAL- calmly explain why I FUCKING
...
HA- ahem, STRONLY dislike this manga.
1: The Story. Tanjiro is a kindhearted kid who works as a charcoal salesman to support his family. He also has an acute sense of smell. Him and his family love each other very much. Everything seems to be going in the direction of a sweet, slice of life anime. Until, one fateful night, Tanjiro is walking home when he picks up the scent of blood. He rushes home as fast as he can, but it is too late. He walks in on his mother and siblings slaughtered mercilessly by a demon: Michael Jack- ahem... Muzan Kibutsuji. His sister, Nezuko, the sole survivor of the massacre is turned into a demon. Tanjiro is nearly killed by her, only to have a Demon Slayer, Giyu Tomioka, show up. He begs him not to kill his only sister, but he doesn't listen. He attempts to kill Giyu, but to no avail. In the midst of the fray, Giyu loosened his grip on Nezuko. She lunges at Tanjiro, seeming like she is about to devour him. However, she puts her body over her unconcious brother, shielding him from Giyu. Instead of killing Nezuko, he merely knocks her out, buts a bamboo bit in her mouth, and tells Tanjiro to consult his former master: Urokudaki. That's chapter 1
From the first chapter, you can get that this isn't gonna be anything groundbreaking. You've got the sibling/close friend turned into monster but they're actually not bad trope, which I actually like in this story because Nezuko is the cutest thing to ever grace Shounen Jump's catalogue (I can see you Power stans shut- no, you SHUT THE FUCK UP!). I wasn't too offput at the beginning, but as the story progressed, the arcs just became boring and repetitive. Here's the story of DS in a nutshell:
Tanjiro goes to fight a demon(s). Tanjiro meets person/people who will help him defeat said demon(s). Tanjiro and companions confront said demon(s). Tanjiro and companions nearly fucking die to said demon(s). At the last minute, Tanjiro and companions pull out on top and defeat said demon(s). Tanjiro and companions go to a demon slayer hospital. After a few weeks Tanjiro and companions are rested and healed and set out to fight another demon. Rinse and repeat.
Now, not all of the arcs are exactly like this, but they do have slight variations in them. e.g. one of Tanjiro's companions actually gets killed by the demon(s), All of Tanjiro's companions nearly get killed by the demon(s), Tanjiro switches companions for one fucking arc, Tanjiro and compa- YOU GET THE POINT! All of the different variations of the arcs are repetitive in some way, shape, or form. It was kind of jarring after a while and I didn't feel invested after a certain point.
Overall, I give the story a 4/10 for being repetitive and unoriginal
How many sections do we have left? 6? Yep. You can click off if you want. I won't be offended. This is gonna be a long one (as i stated in the beginning)
2: Characters. The characters in this manga are actually one of the few positives in this manga. In fact, the characters were the only reason why I kept reading. Sure, you've got all of the character tropes. The loud crybaby who's actually OP. The one always looking for a fight, the potato, the one who has a super memorable personality that gets killed off in the same arc he's FUCKING INTRODU- ahem... the silent yet perpetually angry one, the loud angry one, ect. I could quite literally name every single character personality and name 5 other characters from different anime/manga with the exact same personality. I'm not going to, because that would make this review way longer that it's already going to be. Despite the characters being kinda tropey, I still came to love many of them. Tengen, Rengoku, Nezuko, and Akaza, are just a few of my favs. There are, however, some characters that are very annoying and downright disgusting. E.g. Muzan's buildup as this absolute menace, but turning out to be a VERY lackluster villain, Zenitsu being a whiny brat %99.99999 of the time, Inosuke constantly screaming "FIGHT ME!", ect (i'm using ect a lot in this review i know i'm sorry).
Overall, there were some characters I love and some that I hated. The characters segment gets a solid 6/10
3: Artwork. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH BOY! I am going to sound like a jerk in this segment because I respect mangaka so much. The ability to draw 16-19 pages of manga in a week is something I'll never be able to do. However, I just cannot seem to comprehend why the artwork in this series was just SO GOD AWFULLY ASS! Why is it that we can get full body panels of Akaza that look pretty good, to an action sequence where he's drawn like a mutilated baby carrot? Also, I doubt the mangaka knows how to draw a circle properly, as %100 of the characters have misshapen heads drawn on them at least 30 different times, probably more. Normally, whether the series has good artwork or not doesn't dissuade me from reading it. An example is Hunter x Hunter. The manga's artwork can come off as lazy and inconsistent, but with Togashi, it's a stylistic choice. With Koyoharu, she JUST CAN'T DRAW A DECENT CHARACTER DESIGN CONSISTENTLY! AGAIN, WHY DOES TANJIRO LOOK SO AWESOME IN SOME PANELS, WHILE IN OTHERS HE LOOKS LIKE A FUCKING HUMAN-SNAKE HYBRID? HOW THE FU-! *deep rage filled inhale. *slightly calmer exhale. I'm fine. I am fine. I am calm. I am not going to talk about this anymore.
Overall, the artwork gets a 1/10 for having inconsistent character designs and coming off as lazy and low effort
4: World. The world of demon slayer is actually pretty interesting. Taisho Era Japan where humans fight demons? Pretty interesting. The places the main cast visit are pretty cool as well. The coolest place they visit was definitely the Infinity Castle. (We'll get to that in the next segment. OH BOY DO I HAVE WORDS FOR THAT ARC!).
Overall, the world was cool, but not too interesting in the end. 6/10
5: Final Arc. This arc, despite how shit the art was, had potential to be at least half decent. This arc was dragged out so long it was painful. The different fights we see in this arc were really interesting, but INSANELY boring to watch after a certain point. Akaza vs Tanjiro and Giyu was my favorite fight in this arc, with Genya, Sanemi, Muichiro, and Gyomei vs Kokushibo being my second favorite. Again, the fights were fun, but I just wanted the series to end after the second fight ended. The last thing I want to mention about the Infinity Caste Arc before we move on to the final segment is the Surviving Cast vs Muzan. There were interesting moments in this fight, such as Zenitsu's pull up with Kanao and Inosuke, Muzan's Blood Demon Art reveal, and the Tanjiro vs Muzan 1v1. Despite all of the cool action in this fight, it was completely overshadowed by the fact that Muzan was such a shallow character with shallow motives. He's a coward who just wants to live forever without ever lifting a finger to fight. He wants to live the good life, free from the fear of death, and rule the world from the shadows. One of the worst written villains, if not the worst written villain I've ever read.
Overall, the Final Arc gets a 3/10 for being dragged out and for having an anti-climactic final fight/villain
6: Ending. I am so sorry for how unreasonably angry I'm about to be in this final segment, but WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!?! WHY DID ALL OF THE DEAD CHARACTERS FROM THE FINALE GET REINCARNATED?!?! IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!!!! THEY SHOULD'VE JUST STAYED DEAD!!! JUST LET THEM BE DEAD!!! THERE WASN'T ANY NEED TO REINCARNATE THEM!!! DID I MENTION HOW FUCKING STUPID THE REINCARNATION ENDING WAS?! BECAUSE IT! WAS! AB! SOLUTE! DOG! SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *heavy, rage filled panting* Okay... I've said my piece on that DOGS- *more rage filled panting* That below average ending. I know some people liked how it ended, but for me I FUCKING HAT-! I am so sorry to the people who are reading this who have both read this manga and enjoy this manga for how unreasonably angry I was throughout this entire review. I give this ending a -3000000000/10. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go read some actual good manga like Usogui.
Overall Rating: I give the ending a -3000000000/10, but I didn't hate everything about this manga. The folks over at Ufotable are absolutely KILLING IT with the anime. It's rare that an adaptation exceeds its source material, but this is one of those rare exceptions. Overall, I give this manga a 3/10. The final thing I will say is that if you are to consume this story in any way, shape, or form, just watch the anime as it comes out. At a certain point in the manga, I was just reading to see what happened. When that happens, heh, I usually come out with the intense desire to murder both the author and the people who rated this manga a 10/10 WHILE SIMULTANIOUSLY HAVING BERSERK, VAGABOND, AND KINGDOM IN THEIR FAVORITES SECTION!!!! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH YO-----------

I didn't write any reviews for the previous Non Non Biyori seasons because I was planning on doing one big review on the series as a whole once I finished it. As I'm writing this, I just watched the last episode of Nonstop. Do you remember that scene from 7DS where Ban got a giganic hole blown in his chest? Yeah, that's how I feel right now. We won't get to hear Ren-chon say 'Nyanpasu!" anymore. We won't get to see Hotaru obsess over Komari or make any more Komari plushies. We won't get to see Komari brave the dark forests of the countryside of
...
Japan anymore. We won't get to see Natsumi fail hilariously to try to get out of trouble with her mom. We won't get to see Kaede be a tsundere over Ren-chon. We won't get to see a lot of things anymore, but what we did get to see was 36 episodes, 1 movie, and 2 OVA's of 4 girls living their daily lives out in rural Japan. The small town pulls you into the screen and immerses you in its landscape. You feel as if you're having fun right alongside the 4 girls. Speaking of the girls, they have to be some of my favorite SoL characters ever. Ren-chon is my absolute favorite. One "Nyanpasu!" was all it took for me to instantly say: "I want one! I'll take 10 of your finest Ren-chons please! ON THE DOUBLE NOW!!!!!!!" Putting that sus statement behind us, this is definitely an anime I will revisit in the future. Why? Because we need to enjoy anime where nothing happens. If you had put weeblet Andrew in front of a computer and showed me the first episode of Non Non Biyori, I would have dropped the shit out of it. Now that I've seen over 100 anime, I've come to appreciate anime like this. No flashy action sequences, no deep and philosophical themes, no badass antagonist with a crazy superpower, none of that. Just cute girls doing cute things. I started this review off with a hole in my heart, but as I bring this review to a close, that hole is slowly filling back up because I am reminded that this anime isn't going anywhere. I can, and will, always come back to Ren-chon, Hotaru, Komari, and Natsumi living life to the fullest in rural Japan

Comedy. It comes in many different forms. From comedians making audiences of thousands laugh at his witty jokes, to discord memes that seem to contain the most racist shit of all time, to comedy you watch on a television show. Whether it be a live action (Friends) or a cartoon (South Park), they almost never fail to make you laugh. Now we need to address one thing: when has a show worn out it's comedy? For series like South Park or Family Guy, they've been running for a very long time and still seem to hold up with the comedy. However, when it comes to
...
anime comedy, there are really only a few good comedy anime that come to mind. Those being Grand Blue, Konosuba, and Gintama(I haven't seen this yet but I've heard good things). There might be some other people who like to talk about series like Wotakoi, one of my personal favorite manga, or Ghost Stories. Both of these series didn't overstay their welcome and were only about 12-20 episodes long. So when I started watching Aggretsuko, I went in with high expectations. Overall, it didn't dissapoint, but there was one thing that I noticed as soon as I finished season 1: It would only go downhill from this point onward. This isn't me calling Aggretsuko bad. It had a funny first episode that made me laugh, amazing characters, and most of all, relatability. Retsuko is constantly mistreated by her boss, which is something I had to deal with while working at Dunkin' Donuts before I quit. Despite all of these factors, I still couldn't bring myself to watch season 2. I could tell that the comedy would only get repetitive to the point where it wouldn't be funny anymore, which is one of the reasons I didn't finish Spy x Family. Call me quick to judge, but I don't care. Here are my ratings of my enjoyment factors of season 1:
Art: 8/10 Very unique, almost cartoonish style that was very charming
Animation: 7/10 Same thing as the art. Unique and charming
Soundtrack: ???/10 Idk i only pay attention to the Made in Abyss soundtrack
Characters: 7/10 All of the characters were very funny and memorable, but again, I could tell it would get old
Worldbuilding: N/A What world? It's an anime about furry office workers for crying out loud
Uniqueness: 8/10 I don't think we'll ever see another anime similar to Aggretsuko any time soon. Feel free to let me know if there is one similar that I haven't watched yet!
Overall Rating: 7/10
No judgement to the people who like this anime, I just won't sit through a comedy anime if it won't make me laugh after a certain point

Okay, we've all come across that one anime/manga that's just a total edge fest, but for some reason you can't stop watching /reading it. Some examples include Tomodachi Game and Deadman Wonderland(Haven't seen this one, only heard about it). If you've watched/read any of those, Hell's Harem has it. I started reading this for the simple, human urge to bust a nut. What I didn't expect was a story that was so over the top with the edge fest and gore porn. I remember reading the first chapter where the series showed it's true colors(I think it was around chapter 30?) and thinking to myself:
...
"Yep, this is gonna turn into a shitty edge fest gore porn manwha. As I continued to read, I couldn't help but hate myself for reading on, and on, and on, and on, all the way up to the final chapter. There are no redeeming qualities about this manwha. I hate this manwha with a passion. I despise myself for reading it and if you read it, I hope you endure as much pain as the MC in this story.
Anyways, read this manwha. You'll be hooked by chapter 1 and be forced to finish reading every chapter of this HORRIBLE PIECE OF GARBAGE!!!!! Because if I had to read this, you do too.
Have a wonderful evening

When I was just getting into anime, my friends were hyping up this anime called Hunter x Hunter to me. I was intrigued by this and went to look at both the anime and the manga. When I saw that the manga was on hiatus and I saw the hiatus chart, I thought to myself: “I’m not gonna watch a show that’s never gonna finish.” How stupid I was. Fast forward to summer of 2022, I’m bored out of my mind and scrolling through my PTW section on my list. Lo and behold, Hunter x Hunter stared me in the face. A little voice in
...
the back of my mind said, “try it.” I decided to give it the first 10 episodes and if I hated it, I’d drop it. Anyway, 46 episodes in I was in love with this show more than a seasonal waifu. The characters, world building, and power system were all done PERFECTLY. In this review, I will be breaking down the things that I like and the few things that I dislike about my favorite and, in my opinion, the best Shounen Jump title of all time.
Pros:
Characters:
HxH has some of the best main characters, side characters, and villains in Shounen Jump history. Characters like Gon, Killua, Kurapika (my absolute fav side character), Meruem, and any of the members of the Phantom Troupe. All of these characters have incredible development and so much potential to get so much better later down the line. The villains especially are amazing. I’ve seen people call Meruem a boring villain. If you are one of those people, shut up. Nobody cares. The way you see Meruem go from a heartless monster to understanding what it means to be human and have a soul brings me to tears every time I rewatch *that* scene. Amazing characters all around.
World Building:
The world that Hunter x Hunter exists in is one of the most expansive and interesting worlds in anime. Keep in mind that as of writing this review, I haven't watched One Piece. The insane amount of places that we've visited in this anime, from Yorknew Ciy, to Greed Island, to The Republic of East Gorteau, to the World Tree, which is the place where the anime has ended. I haven't caught up on the manga yet, but the next place we visit is The Dark Continent from what I've heard. I can't wait to see where the next chapter in Gon's story takes us.
Power System:
No. I will not be explaining Nen. It is WAY too complicated to even try to explain. However, despite it's complexity, Nen is one of the most creative power systems in anime and manga. There are so many things that Nen can be used for. Some examples include:
-Gon's Jajanken Stance
-Killua's Lightning
- Leorio's Portals
-Kurapika's Chains
-Isaac Netero's 100-Type Guanyin Bodhisattva (good luck pronouncing that)
-Meruem Simply Existing
The list goes on and on. The sheer diversity of abilities makes the characters so interesting to watch, because you'll never know when or how they'll get a major powerup. If you want a full in depth explanation of what Nen is, just look up a video on YouTube.
By the way, just want to let you know that HxH has been around for longer than One Piece. It's amassed a very large and dedicated fanbase that always supports the series. Despite how long it's been around, NOBODY UNDERSTANDS HOW NEN WORKS. I'll be posting a link to a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCk7ebI7Vk4
Good luck and may your brain rest in peace. Understanding Nen is more difficult than getting into college.
That about wraps it up for the pros of Hunter x Hunter. At leas what I can think of off the top of my head. Now let's move on to the one con.
Con:
Hiatus:
This is my one and only problem with Hunter x Hunter as a series. As I mentioned before, Hunter x Hunter has been around since 1997, and has inspired many other mangaka (e.g. Masashi Kishimoto basing the design of the Sharingan off of Kurapika's Scarlet Eyes). There's no denying that HxH has staying power, as people are still talking about it to this day. However, due to the health of the author, Yoshihiro Togashi, being in decline, the series has had exstensive hiatuses since 2006. As much as the series is absolutely incredible, the mangaka needs to take care of himself. Despite HxH returning from hiatus recently, he pulled HxH from Weekly Shounen Jump and is probably going to move it to something like Shounen Jump+ or Shounen Jump Advanced, which usually release series on a monthly basis. I will always love Hunter x Hunter. It's my favorite SJ title of all time and no matter how long it takes, I hope we get to see it finish. It's probably gonna take like 50 years, but eventually it has to end. Don't let the series being on hiatus dissuade you from trying it out. Definitely give it a shot!
Closing Remarks:
I really don't have much else to say. From characters, to world building, to the intricate power system, it's a masterpiece. I'm going to end this review with a quote from the anime:
"You Should Enjoy The Little Detours To The Fullest. Because That's Where You'll Find Things More Important Than What You Want."
-Ging Freecs, Hunter x Hunter (2011)

Um... So yeah. This is literally just a story about two lesbian Korean college students fucking each other. Okay, that's not all there is to it. Aside from the real reason we all started reading this (don't lie to me Jesus is watching you), there are some genuinely great moments of character development between the two characters. As of me writing this, a major drama just wrapped up between one of the main characters and a side character being manipulated into seducing her (I'm really bad with Korean names I'm sorry). Also the main "villain" of the series is very interesting to watch. She loves
...
to manipulate people and keep them dependent on her. This is the manga/manwha/webtoon that got me fully into the Yuri genre (for obvious reasons)
Story: 7/10 Not the most original thing I've ever read, but still interesting enough for me to read the non-spicy chapters
Art: 9/10 Just go look at one of the panels from the series and tell me that the artwork isn't fucking hot
Characters: 6/10 Very shallow motives from all of them right now. I'd like to see them more flushed out later down the line
Potential: 5/10 Not much else this story can do without being repetitive. If it does end up repeating itself, I'll drop it
Edit October 3, 2023: Yeah the story got bad. Like really bad. Like Rent-A-Girlfriend, never gonna find an ending levels of bad.
Overall: 7/10
