Preliminary (37/37 chp)
I am amused by Tsubana sensei's creativity. In Mikake no Nijuusei, Tsubana-sensei used time machine to create a story of alternative reality that seems common, yet she didn't go to the direction as of what most of author go to. In Babel no Toshokan, she used word and library of Babel instead. And now in this series, she used another different alternative, lucid dream.

Despite the the fact that Wakusei closet's main character didn't find herself struck by a Truck-kun and reincarnated to a medieval fantasy, it can also be classified as an isekai manga. One day, the main character, Aimi, found herself on an unknown ...

Started off as an indies manga in 2014 posted by Kunirou-sensei in Manga Box Indies along with RULE~Crime Boy, Ijime no Jikan officially got serialized by Manga Box in 2016 after it gained its popularity.

If you haven't read the manga, this review may contain a minor SPOILER!

The story of this manga started off with a strong opening. As Ayumu, the main character, muttered in his heart "May I never be born again", he attempted to commit suicide by jumping from the school's rooftop. The first four volumes of the manga take us back to six months before the event. They tell us the story behind ...

Originality in modern world is nothing but a fantasy.

Talking about fantasy, there are many fantasy settings out there, but this is the first time this person finds a setting where time has no boundaries, with the building looks like medieval western to the nano tech where hologram feels real. This is a brilliant idea and experimentation from an author named Hiro Mashima who write one of the most famous shounen anime in this modern time, which could remain you of his previous works and Yuuzo Takada' Little Jumper. In this new series, Hiro Mashima combine his previous works such Fairy Tail, Rave Master, and ...

A journey of looking for truth isn't an easy one. On the other hand, it's the riskiest journey to go through as it challenges the believe system one has that has been built for years since childhood. But as a natural thing, for some people it's an avoidable journey. Some people refer it as philosophy, others call it the second puberty, while some others call it as a form of 20s something. Well, looking for the truth is something common in 20s, so I myself like to call it the latter.

When one has something to believe, often we value it as a way of life. ...

Ok ok, this was pretty cliche that I laughed so hard. Now, I am not trying to making fun of this manga but I just couldn't help but laughing. Ha ha ha ha!

So, I am gonna talking about Seishun Panda, yes Sheishun panda. First, I don't understand why this manga titled Seishun Panda!. I expected some Panda symbolism or maybe real panda involved in this story. But I was a bit surprised how limited the panda's scene here that I forgot the Panda thingy in the titles when reading it while it has only four chapters. No, this is not about Panda, nor it does ...

Ashita e free kick is one of very few anime that I watched years back and still fresh in my mind (around 2007). It left a really good memory of my youth and I don't deny that my eager to re-watch it some years ago was due to it.

--Story--
Ashite e free kick may not be your typical sport anime. Despite it has one unique technique which is the main character's special move it's not really a football anime. Well, it may, but not your typical sport anime. If I would conclude the story in Ashita e free kick it's more about Godai Shun and his ...

In 1941, an infamous Argentine author and librarian named Jorge Luis Borges wrote a short story titled Library of Babel of which translated to Japanese as Babel no Toshokan, about an infinite library which resembles universe. In this library, you can find every permutation of words, which means you can find any words and sentences. This has an implication that all truth and lie are also there.

--Story--
Babel no Toshokan manga used this concept of infinite library to convey a romantic short story that's so unique and strange that could be hard to understand. I personally can't say that I could grasp everything in this manga ...

There's a sad thing I feel about how bad the reception this short animation gets. Not only most people just see it simply as a shit show for presenting shit, but also most people who praise it are also being sarcastic and making fun of it. But it's not that surprising since most Koji Yamamura's and Yoji Kuri's works, also other experimental works, have received the similar treatment. This has left an impression on me that most people just can't appreciate an "ugly" work or something that try to be unique and out from the comfort zone.

The thing is people too much focus on the ...

Sport - Romance has been a combination I usually seek for in anime and manga since way back. Despite it's actually not that hard to find, something suitable for me is kinda rare. When the two genres combined, I prefer them to be balanced and that's what makes it hard to find. So I was really glad that I finally found this manga some years ago.

Get! is a short manga that tries to explore soccer, friendship and romance at the same time. In result, it fails to be either a sport manga, a manga about friendship or romance manga. But it doesn't mean the manga ...

If there's one manga that should be considered as "the most realistic manga ever made" then Mustard Chocolate deserves the title.

When it comes to a romance story, people often use "realistic" to refer to the story where the main character doesn't end up with his first love or to a depressing romantic story in general. Some also refer it to a complex romantic love story. But often, a depressing story in manga is too depressing to be realistic and a complex relationship in manga is too complex to be realistic that it makes some viewer cringy. Exaggeration is a thing in most manga but I ...
