NOTE: While I won't be spoiling any plot points at all I feel like the nature of the ending needs discussing to accurately review this manga.
I REALLY wanted to like this. The art is pretty decent, the characters have a bit of depth to them, and I let out a chuckle or two here and there....and the main couple are so freaking adorable together!....but the mangaka dropped the ball and scored on his own goal. You know the infamous Girl's Love/Yuri non-confession confession endings, the "We'll be roommates forever!" type endings....yeah, they did that here. In this manga's context it's meant to be a confession

I'm here writing this review as a contrast to the two here already (good reviews btw, you should read them). They've captured what I think is the main takeaway of the story rather well. It's fluffy Girl Love....simple as that. What makes me write to you on this night is where I disagree. YES, the last 4 chapters REALLY needed to be 8-10 more and it feels kind of jarring....but you know what? It really wasn't all that bad...if you read a lot of manga you're used to the final chapter time jump (usually the same that happens here, high school to 1st college year).

THIS, right here, is fantastic. I've never wanted more of a one (two) shot in my life. The art is next level good! Like, for real, it's pure eye candy. The character designs are up there with the best, especially Rio (a 10/10 gyaru knockout...imo, Top 5 gyarus ever drawn). The premise is nothing new, childhood friend leaves then returns smoking hot and clearly feeling things for the male MC...it's the delivery that makes this premise something special. What makes this so fantastic, not only is Rio a gorgeous gyaru but she has some tomboy tendencies to her. This is one I will keep an

As of now there's only one other review for this and as someone that has the opposite opinion of theirs I wanted to leave a quick review to juxtapose theirs (NOTE: By doing this I am not attempting to invalidate/argue their opinion, I actually understand why they feel the way they do and it's valid....also it's a well written review!).
I Won't Choose Her When the World's End does a lot in it's 17 chapters. You get a fun adventure arc, you get a survival arc, you get yandere comedy, just enough back story to make the characters feel like they existed before page 1....and you ...

*Angry Spoilers Ahead*
TL;DR Not Recommended for folks looking for a Yuri/GL romance Two words sum up my feelings nicely: That's Bait. It's bait in the worst possible way. It's bait so hard it actually hurts. I actually had to go back and skim the last 3 chapters thinking I missed the confession...I didn't, and that sucks because everything about this screamed "more than friends" but nope, they're just friends. There is GL to be found here but it's found in a side character...and that hurts too. In spite of that this isn't bad, the art is fun, the characters are enjoyable (for the most part as ...

*SPOILER FREE*
This oneshot is great for fans of horror anthology shows like Tales From the Crypt and The Twilight Zone. It tells a full story in it's short 41 pages, and ooooo boy is it a story. I can't get into too many details as anything I say would be a bit of a spoiler, BUT I feel it needs to be said that there's yandere shenanigans afoot in this story. It starts with a jaw dropper of an incident, it ends with jaw dropper of a twist, and in between is a solid road between the two. For a 10 minute read with pretty ...

Kareshi ni Donbiki saretai Minamoto-san (or as it should be called: How to Utterly Defeat a Yandere With Love) may only be a twenty-two page one-shot but it's a fantastic twenty two pages. Riri is an absolute treasure and I want to find a woman like her in my age demographic...she's sweet, funny, unstable, and honestly, packs a ton of personality (more than some characters in long manga). As you can imagine you don't get a whole lot of back story or character development in this story, but honestly, it's not really missed as this is written as a "day in the life" quick shot.

I guess the best way to start this is to just say it how it is: This was a mess. It had a total lack of focus. It could be a "me issue" but man, this thing never made sense, nor did it even attempt to make any sense. Things would happen but not be shown then treated like they happened clearly....an example, a character hurts a friend and right before the "hurtful thing" happens it skips ahead, showing nothing to have any context, then goes on about it like you know what wasn't ever shown. That's the entire story too...it never tells you anything

I was on a yuri binge one day (one lifetime would be more accurate) and saw this manga on some random list. It was very short (25 chapters, 2-5 pages a chapter) and I had an hour or two so I gave it a shot. There is NO girl love/yuri here, just two step-sisters longing to have a bond with their new sibling. It's very sweet. If I had one complaint about the series it'd be the art. There are sooooo many panels where these girls have weird banana shaped faces/look like human-hammerhead shark hybrids...it's real weird man. Still, no matter how off-putting that is,

The most important take away from this review: It's bait. They'll be lifelong roommates.
Art: The art is actually ok. Chi looks like she's dying at times and Nagi is ALWAYS adorable. The sets were...well, pretty plain but how different can apartments/offices/non-descript restaurants really be? Story: You get exactly what was described on the box BUT it ends up going kind of deep for such a short story, and it was all the better for it! The romance/girls love is a lie. It's the usual problem that plagues yuri/GL stories: Women ARE NOT allowed to love each other romantically...it's forbidden or at least that's how it ... |
